THE LOUVRE BEGAN AS A FORTRESS IN THE RAMPART, WHICH FORBADE ACCESS TO THE RIVER
The Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry, October (upper level), 15th century / zoom |
A magnificent trace remains,which until 2020 projectors highlighted:
Then it became part of an installation...
From which incomprehensible phrases spring out:
"Light brings us more deeply into auto-reflexion"
Since the majority of visitors are foreigners who don't read French, that obscurity does not matter.
As far as French people are concerned...
- Like these Girl Scouts they ignore the messages...
- Or stop, try to decipher them and rapidly walk on.

The exit leads from gloom to light, that is, to a McDonald's and a souvenir shop
One understands the parking-lot owners' indifference
(while noticing the privatisation of City property).
But the Director of the Louvre?
