Photographer's Note
la Pyramide du Louvre, commissionned by the President François Mitterand in 1984 and designed by the architect Pei.
The structure, which was constructed entirely with glass segments, reaches a height of 20.6 metres (about 70 feet); its square base has sides of 35 metres (115 ft). It consists of 603 rhombus-shaped and 70 triangular glass segments.

Bonjour Frederic
Always great to spot your shots here. This is a great, original take on the famous pyramid. Lovely red/dark contrasts too! Perfect capture of that one man (avoiding the crowds?) in the frame.
The Louvre itself has become a disappointment lately. It feels more like a warehouse or a busy train station. Long live the smaller museums! (Have you visited the Artemisia exhibition at the Musée Maillol?)
