This pyramid, designed by architect Pei between 1985 and 1989, is the centrepiece of the Grand Louvre.

It is the centrepiece of the Grand Louvre. Designed by François Mitterrand and built by architect Pei, it was inaugurated in March 1989. At the time, the building was a clear improvement, since it was necessary to facilitate public access by creating a new reception hall. With a height of 21.64 m and a base of 35.42 m, the pyramid is made of glass and metal. Three other pyramids act as skylights leading into the main hall. Almost 35 years after its inauguration, its presence is inseparable from the Louvre.

Elle a été beaucoup critiquée au moment de sa construction mais elle fait maintenant partie des monuments incontournables de Paris et elle est beaucoup photographiée par les touristes. Pour ma part, je la trouve magnifique, elle s'inscrit très bien dans la perspective jusqu'à l'Arc de Triomphe. En plus, elle est non seulement belle mais aussi utile puisqu'elle abrite l'immense hall d'accueil du Musée du Louvre. Quand on a connu la place, qui servait de parking, envahie de voitures, on ne peut qu'être admiratif de ce qu'elle est devenue.
