A hot, sunny July day at the Louvre, as many tourists enjoy a lunch break by the fountains surrounding
I.M. Pei's Pyramide (one corner of which is just visible at the far right). Also in this photo are (from left
to right) the Arc du Carrousel, an equestrian statue, the large Ferris wheel in the amusement arcade
in the Northeast corner of the Tuilleries, and part of the Pavillon de Marsan (Museum of Decorative Arts).
