6. FUN FACTS! The Louvre was originally built as a fortress to protect against Viking raids. Napoleon Bonaparte temporarily renamed the museum after himself. (Musée Napoleon) During World War Two nearly all the art pieces were transported from the Louvre to avoid destruction from the Nazi occupation of France. Under the Museum lies the Carrousel du Louvre, a large shopping mall that contains the first Apple Store in France, and a McDonald's restaurant among other shops.

7. Reflection I enjoyed studying the louvre and learning about its almost 1000 year history. I definitely would like to visit it in the future as well as the rest of Paris. Not only is the art within the Louvre astonishing, but the architecture as well. It’s impressive to see such a historic place become a internationally famous site. www.louvre.fr/en
