EyeReport, France - A general view of the Louvre and a bit of its gardens, the begining of the Tuileries Gardens.
Scanned from picture, sharpened. "The Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre), in Paris, France, is the largest, and arguably the most famous, museum in the world — it received a record 7.3 million visitors in 2005.[1] The building, a former royal palace, lies in the centre of Paris, between the Seine river and the Rue de Rivoli. Its central courtyard, now occupied by the Louvre Pyramid, lies in the axis of the Champs-Élysées, and thus forms the nucleus from which the Axe historique springs. Part of the royal Palace of the Louvre was first opened to the public as a museum on November 8, 1793, during the French Revolution."
