Photo TidbitsLouvre Pyramid
By Jim and Emmy Humberd
Between the 'arms' of the Louvre, they have built four glass pyramids, designed by the American architect, I. M. Pei. The main pyramid provides the entrance, and light and access to a massive underground reception area. Often long lines of people, several abreast, are eager to view the treasures of the Louvre.
One day in 1983, and another in 1991, we arrived at noon and fixed lunch in our RV. Out one window was the entrance to the Louvre, out the other was the Carrousel Arch, Place de la Concord, then the Champs Elysées with the Arc de Triomphe in the distance. Try to match that view from a restaurant anywhere, including Paris.
