The Louvre Pyramid is the glass and metal structure located in the Cour Napoléon, the central courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris. It serves as the main entrance to the museum and is one of the most photographed contemporary architectural works in the world.

Because of the good relations with Egypt, Mehemet Ali, the viceroy of Egypt, presented them with the 3,000-year-old obelisk from Luxor. Its four sides depict the deeds of Ramesses II, dating back to the 13th century BC. King Louis-Philippe, in gratitude for the obelisk, presented Mehemet Ali with a clock, which now stands in the courtyard of the Mohammed Ali Mosque in Cairo. The 23-meter-high, 230-ton colossus was a significant undertaking to bring to France. This is why it is proudly inscribed on the obelisk's pedestal. And rightly so, since we are, of course, talking about 1836. It's a good thing, by the way, that French people generally can't read hieroglyphs, otherwise it would never have been erected. The deeds of Ramesses II, which are described on the Obelisk, in some cases concern his sexual acts and, according to ‘the needle’ (The Obelisk), these were not insignificant.

Please note: if you want to park there to go hiking, the car park is currently only open from 2:00 p.m. on Sundays.

Simple and beautiful lines for this castle which is found there almost by surprise

Is it allowed to cross? Not sure... I did, I was looked at and greeted. But not blocked. However, it's not easy to get out on the other side, the exit is closed. It's possible to go through a small door.
