The pyramids are just as fascinating as the museum itself! They're on the top of the museum and give you something to enjoy while waiting in the long lines. The museum itself is huge and beautiful! It was an amazing experience, and everyone visiting should behold! read more

Paris, France From Wiki: The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a glass-and-metal structure located in the Cour Napoléon courtyard of the Louvre Palace in Paris. It functions as the main entrance to the museum and allows natural light into the underground lobby. Visited this landmark during our trip to France. We went at night, so we didn't really appreciate the full beauty of the glass structure, and there was some construction going on. Still, it was nice to see it and take a few photos. I would recommend coming during the day for clearer views and better pictures. read more

Going to the Louvre Museum is the most amazing experience! But it is overwhelming with the size of the museum and the amount of art and sculptures to see. With that being said the one thing we did definitely want to see were the pyramids. They are amazing inside and out. The architecture is simply amazing. This was definitely a highlight of the visit read more

The pyramid at the Louvre was designed by famed Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei and completed in 1988. It was controversial as the design and appearance did not fit the classic French Renaissance style of the Louvre. Now it's a widely recognized icon and it serves as the main entrance to the Louvre. read more

The Louvre is unbelievably huge! You'd need superhuman energy to see it all in one go. My tip: have a game plan before you go and decide which exhibits or pieces you really want to see. That way, you don't get overwhelmed and you make sure you hit your must-sees. read more

I don't know how to review one of world's icons but I was able to visit for the third time in my life and loved/ hated every minute! The crowds are insane but the art is breathtaking! You can't visit without sitting by the Pyramide and taking it all in for a while to slow down the rushed feeling. read more

Pyramide du Louvre - The Arc de Triomphe - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Paris, 75

The Louvre is one of the world's largest and most iconic museums, and its vast art collection is spectacular. Located in the heart of Paris, France, along the banks of the Seine River, this magnificent campus was once a royal palace. It's lovely, for sure! But is the time commitment and logistical hassle of seeing the Louvre worth it? Like any decision, it depends upon many factors, including your family's interests. You also need to consider your travel schedule, when you are visiting, and your willingness to endure a little stress in order to lock eyes with the Mona Lisa. I believe it's worth it. The architecture, culture, attention to details, artifacts, fossils, paintings and history is something you can't pass up. Be sure to go early or on the later side because it gets really really busy. There's so much to see other than paintings. So take your time. read more

The coolest Pyramid around! (except for Egypt lol) The pyramid is beautiful! And it is huge. The architecture is just awesome to see. It is so pretty. Seeing the pyramid from the ground is cool, and it is also great to see it underneath the pyramid when you are inside. This structure was one of my favorites, aside from the L'Arc du Triomphe. The pyramid was my second favorite structural piece. You can see it right outside the Louvre. It is a masterpiece. Once you go underneath, where the entrance to the Louvre is, you can see the inside of the pyramid. It lets in lots of light and it sparkles in the reflection of the sun. Very pretty! It is a must see. I'm not sure if I liked seeing it from the outside more. Seeing it from the inside and looking up really made it look spectacular. read more

An iconic Paris landmark! It cannot be missed! This is definitely a busier entrance to the Louvre museum so I recommend booking your reservation online 2 weeks in advance. Included in the Paris museum pass which made booking easy! read more

This is a beautiful addition to the Louvre grounds. A modern counter to the older architecture, it serves as a magnificent landmark.

Despite being to Paris, and more so the Louvre, the pyramid really didn't catch my attention until my latest trip. My first time at the Louvre all I could focus on was actually going in. Now that I had my second time there, the pyramid was much more interesting to me. For one thing, the Louvre was having issues selling tickets online, so you had to go through the pyramid to purchase tickets. For another, this landmark is huge and made of glass and metal. When you're trying to kill time or are just waiting to enter, believe me you notice it. That and it was during winter, so there were less people. At any rate, this pyramid is a beauty and I, of course, got my photo with it. read more

Even the pyramid gets it's own Yelp page, oh la la! Not totally surprising. The pyramid gets almost as much love as Mona (almost!) But really. Before entering into the museum, it's a must to get a picture with this beautiful, marvelous wonder first! Why do you think they have all those blocks set up around the perimeter? So you can get your iconic holding the Louvre in your hand photo or touching the tip. Top or bottom of the pyramid- your choice! The real wonder is getting to actual travel through the pyramid to get under ground to see all the fabulous art stored below! read more

Louvre is a beautiful place filled with artwork and collections from many different types of painters, sculptures, and much more to see if you are visiting here. This is one of the most iconic places that people all over the world would visit! This is my second time ever coming here and it still takes my breath away while I am walking all around the museum. Yes the line to get in is insane and they do make every single person go through security, so don't bring anything inside that could make you not get in! I would suggest coming here and spending a day walking around. I would say pick an early time slot but know you'll be having to wait a while to get in. Buy your tickets online and don't wait until you get there because they do sell out! read more

The pyramid is definitely a MUST see when visiting Paris! Be aware that the area gets extremely crowded so I'd recommend heading out early. When we visited there was security check points coupled with the line to get in for tour times made it a bit frustrating. But overall just being in Paris and experiencing the Pyramide du Louvre was AMAZING. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience that you always dream of visiting. We spent hours here. And once inside there is also a mall and food court area. You can also get to the transit station. read more

Icon for the Paris other than Eiffel Tower. This is one of the most photograph area. More importantly the pyramid is not jut the out side only, the museum below ground has an upside down pyramid. It touch a small concrete pyramid below. The person who created the pyramid is a Chinese American who designed this pyramid. If you saw this, you know it is Louvre museum. It is a city symbol. The pyramid lighted at night provide a good night view. The translucent glass also provided the sun light shine to the ground of inside museum. read more

I've never really thought of the pyramid as it's own separate thing. It was just an unusual entrance to the museum. However, on further thought I can see it. It was a totally separate project by a well known artist. As pretty as it is outside, and it's a great known location to meet people, it's looking up from inside that really makes it. read more

The Louvre Museum is a dazzling labyrinth of art and history, where you'll find everything from the Mona Lisa's mysterious smirk to sculptures missing a few limbs (Venus de Milo, we're looking at you). The glass pyramid entrance is a modern marvel, but good luck navigating the crowds--it's like a classy art-themed mosh pit. Worth every minute, though--just wear comfy shoes and bring your patience! read more

Once you enter the museum, go below the pyramid. The site from below is unbelievable. What a great design. The huge atrium is breathtaking. I purchased a tour and had a fantastic guide. This person had a masters in art history, which really showed during our tour. This person showed us the most important things in the museum. He called it the 3 divas of the Louvre. Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and the Mona Lisa. They explained many bits of information on each of these most impressive sites. Things that you cannot know from just any tour book or even some guides. Undoubtedly this was the best tour I've ever had, and this location calls for it. We were told that if you spent 1 minute at every exhibit in this museum, it would take you over one month to see everything. What a great place this is. A place where history has stopped and tells you a story. The art is unbelievable. The status are amazing. The atmosphere is awe-inspiring. I absolutely loved the experience of being at the Louvre. Even with a map, you will be surprised at what you find around the next corner. You could spend a whole day here and go around the world and so far back in time that it doesn't seem real. I recommend getting a tour from a reputable company. It will make a huge difference in your experience. read more

Must-see when in Paris. Beautiful architecture, the pyramid shape of the museum looks beautiful outside and when inside looking up. A lot of great art and the Mona Lisa to be seen here. There's long lines to see her and she's about 8x10 inches. Just like with any other tourist place, expect lots of people. There are blocks in random areas outside for tourists to stand on and capture photos. read more

Utter amazingness is the Pyramide du Louvre. A trip to Paris is not complete without visiting this beauty. I wonder what the average number of pictures people take here, just to get the perfect one to post online!

Pei - Completed in 1988 - Height of 21.6 metres (71 ft) - Square base has sides of 34 metres (112 ft) - Base surface area of 1,000 square metres (11,000 sq ft) - It consists of 603 rhombus-shaped and 70 triangular glass segments read more

They tried to sign me up to promote the Louvre when I came to this pyramid. Said that they'd give me one Euro for every person I signed up to do the same. I was like, no thanks, you wily French people. I'm not falling for your Pyramide scheme. This beautiful pyramid here in Paris is one of the iconic and spectacular elements of this great city one of the world's greatest museums inside. We love it here and will probably visit many more times. It was made famous in the US in The DaVinci Code, but was infamous in Paris for many years before. I am one of the few people who actually parked right in front of it and slept here in my rental car without being disturbed, which is pretty amazing if you think about it. Not sure I'd get away with that now. I'm also one of the people that thinks it's amazing rather than one of the people like in The DaVinci Code who thinks it ruins Paris. This review is dedicated to the Swiss national team who delightfully knocked out Les Bleus last night. read more

Pyramide du Louvre - I don't just want one of these in my garden. I want a pyr of them! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Paris, 75

Beautiful modern glass pyramid, completely out-of-place in it's surroundings. It is accessible from below directly from the Metro line. It also serves as the starting point to get into the Louvre for your tour. One gets into one of two lines (one for reserved tickets, other for walk-up). the reserved ticket line is a lot longer, but as we found out, it goes faster since we were often able to skip in front of the walk-up folks. One needs a timed ticket to get inside the pyramid, which is just a holding area before you actually get inside the Louvre. There are shops and restaurants inside as well (but you can't get inside without a ticket). read more

"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, my poetry. You dance inside my heart, where no-one sees you, I do, and that's my inspiration..." Paris is known for it's historic architecture, timeless landmarks, and breathtaking art. And yet, there's one sight that's relatively new to the scene, nonetheless as synonymous to Paris as the Le Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's Tomb, or masterpieces from the French Renaissance. The Pyramide du Louvre is from the dreams of I. M. Pei and a cant miss if in the romantic City of Light! The artist, I. M. Pei, was a Chinese-American architect born in China, raised in Hong Kong, and moved to the United States before WWII. He became an American citizen. A journey in life that shows diversity, love, and beauty in his unforgettable Pyramide du Louvre. A gift to the diverse people of Paris... and for all the world to see. In the end, I highly recommend this public art that I promise will take your breath away. Make it one of your first stops when in Paris. Come during sunrise and come during sunset. Appreciate the life you have. I.M. Pei passed away in 2019 at the age of 102 years old. Yet he continues to live at the Pyramide du Louvre! A must see! read more

The Pyramide du Louvre is a big pyramid sculpture designed by Chinese-American architect I M Pei. It's made of glass and metal. It's in the main courtyard of the Louvre. You're across from Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. There's 3 small pyramids around the big pyramid. There's a lot of stories about what's inside the pyramid. Look into the pyramid and you see that it's the main entrance to the Louvre. There's a lobby under it. Don't miss going there at night. It's very pretty with the lights! read more

The most beautiful building in the world. I've seen this building in movies and books, but to see it in person it's incredible. It was awe inspiring! It was huge and a lot of people this day well maybe every day, but it was a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, but it was fun ! I came to see the Mona Lisa !! It was hard to find at first but if you fallow all the signs on the walls it's easy. I got to see her from the middle of the room with about 200 people in front of me. It was soooo well worth every steep to get to her. Once in a life time experience!! read more

Yes I've been to a lot of places in my 73 years on this planet. Pyramide du Louvre is a truly memorable experience. I don't need a photo because I won't forget! This large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. It was completed in 1989. It was renovated between 2014-2017. The entrance now accommodates more visitors. I can't wait to return some day. No visit to Paris is complete without a day spent at the Louvre. I'm sure I wrote a review of the museum also. The Pyramid is breathtaking. I remember standing with my head rotating like I was filming the Exorcist, my mouth hanging open in amazement. Make it a point to see it and the museum when you go to Paris. I'm sorry now I didn't get a photo of me standing outside! read more

I've been to Paris a few times. The first time I didn't go inside the Louvre, but I did make a stop at the pyramid. You really cannot miss it. There is a secret to getting into the Louvre without the huge lines. Go through the underground! You can buy tickets at a little convenience store and skip the hour long line. The museum is HUGE so wear comfortable shoes for sure. After several hours, I was burnt out and we didn't even see the entire thing. read more

The crazy thing was we saw two couples shooting wedding photos here during night time! Them in fancy looking off shoulder and tube top dresses vs me wrapped up like a Chinese dumpling. It was very cold! I don't know how they do it. The crazier couple was still there after we were done with the museum. What?! I feel cold just thinking about it. xD read more

Pyramide du Lourve is such an iconic monument at the center of the Lourve Museum. The glass pyramid is quite modern and in contrast to the amazing building that houses some of the most amazing pieces of art I have ever seen. Across the the street are several ideal spots to take pictures And on the inside, there is a humongous gold tone sculpture that is suspended by cables and look like it's floating. What an awesome contraption. I will not go on about the museum, that is another review that I am saving for a special milestone, but suffice to say that this pyramid gives the museum as a whole an eye catching and memorable look. Chances are you won't remember the amazing architecture of the building itself, but you will remember the pyramide! read more
