Doit-on brûler le Louvre?

by Dominique Koch

Thinking about Paris means thinking about many things but probably the Louvre comes quite quickly to your mind.
Some month ago, 200 guards and surveillance agents working in the world’s most visited museum went on strike to protest the growing number of often violent pickpockets.
The Louvre brings you to Mona Lisa.
There are bookshops in Paris called Mona Lisait. (Mona was reading.)
You could hardly find cheaper books in Paris than in this shop. But Mona Lisait will close its doors tomorrow, due to financial crisis.
Therefore, Mona Lisait will soon be history. Mona Lisa instead will remain behind bulletproof glass in the Louvre, still open to the public.
But in 1920, in the second issue of the magazine L’Esprit Nouveau, the existence of the Louvre was called into question. I don’t know the result of the enquiry.
