View of the roofs of the Louvre (Pavillon Sully) by night, looking towards the Cour Napoléon, the Louvre Pyramid and its 3 pyramidions (small pyramids with skylights).
In the background, the Carrousel triumphal arch and the Tuileries gardens. In the centre of the background, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
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, seen from the roofs, is unique.
This image was originally taken on 24 x 36 mm film and then digitised.
