Description[]
The Louvre Palace covers a built area of over 135,000 m2, making it the largest palace in Europe.
Built under the Ancien Régime, the palace was the long-time Royal Residence of the King of France who had it built and renovated over five centuries. It was built on a rectangular plan in Renaissance, Classical and Neoclassical styles, with many internal courtyards, open or closed. The palace has a bright facade and a blue roof.
Access to the Louvre Palace is through several passages. The most important are the Louvre stalls. These are large vaulted openings that allow entry, but also exit, into the interior courtyards of the palace. These stalls directly overlook the Place du Carrousel.
To the west of the square are the Jardin du Carrousel and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which open onto the Jardin des Tuileries. To the east is the Cour Napoléon. This courtyard is particularly famous for the Louvre Pyramid built in its center, the entrance to the Louvre Museum.
