		The Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) in Paris, France, is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world.
		Its central courtyard, now occupied by the Louvre glass pyramid, lies in the axis of the Champs-Élysées, and thus forms the nucleus from which the Axe historique springs.
		Part of the royal Palace of the Louvre was first opened to the public as a museum on November 8, 1793, during the French Revolution.

	Le Musee du Louvre - The Louvre Museum
		Located in Paris, the Louvre is one of the largest palaces in the world and, as a former residence of the kings of France, one of the most illustrious.
		The first Louvre was a fortress built at the beginning of the 13th century by Philip II Augustus to defend the Seine below Paris against the Normans and English.
		Restoration work on the Cour Carrée and the excavation required for construction of the pyramid and the Carrousel area enabled archeological digs to be undertaken, and for the various phases of occupation of the palace and its quarters to be seen.

		A new visitor entrance to the Louvre Museum complex, connecting elegantly to expanded galleries below the courtyards.
