Surrounded by lavish façades from different periods, it traces back to King Francis I’s 16th-century Renaissance vision, forming the heritage heart of the Louvre Palace. Visitors can admire harmonious blends of Gothic, Renaissance, and classical styles while strolling its perimeter. This courtyard also offers access to several museum entrances and excellent vantage points for photographing the iconic pyramid.
