08.Arc.du.Carrousel * Designed by Charles Percier and Pierre Léonard Fontatine, the arch was made between 1806-1808 by the Emperor Napoleon I on the model of the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome. It is located west to the Louvre, and it's aligned with the Historical Axis (Place de la Concorde, Champs Elysées) down to the Arc de Triomphe on the opposite end. * 2183 x 2304 * (1001KB)

09.Pyramide * The Louvre Pyramid was commissioned by the president François Mitterrand in 194, and its construction finished in 1989. The pyramid and the underground lobby underneath it were created because of a series of problems with the Louvre's original main entrance, which could no longer handle an enormous number of visitors on an everyday basis.
As for the Tour Eiffel one century before, the high contrast of the pyramid modernity with the baroque style of the surrounding spawned a lot of controversy and criticisms. * 2722 x 1814 * (1.19MB)
