*Pyramide du Louvre
The Pyramid of Pei is the main entrance of the museum of the Louvre
Imagined by the architect Pei in 1983 and inaugurated in 1989, the elegant Glass pyramid, with its aluminum and stainless skeleton, is 21,64 m high. It is at the same moment a beautiful architectural realization, of a big sobriety, and a functional solution to reach the Big Louvre by a clear and spacious basement.
