View of the roofs of the Louvre (Pavillon Sully) by night, looking towards the Louvre Pyramid. In the background, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Grand Palais.
This shot was taken as part of a photographic assignment that gave me access to every point of view in the Palais du Louvre and the museum: rooftops, basements and underground passageways, storerooms and secret places.
The viewpoint of this photograph, with the Pyramid, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Grand Palais on the same axis, is unique.
This image was originally taken on 24 x 36 mm film and then digitised.
