Louvre museum is 'running out of steam' and struggling to update ageing facilities, says new director

'Despite its imposing majesty, despite the daily commitment of its staff, the Louvre is running out of steam,' Christophe Leribault told a Sénat committee. 'Its equipment and infrastructure are reaching the end of their life cycle.'

The last country I visited while living in Spain was France. I had been in Spain for almost two years and didn’t want to leave without seeing Paris so one weekend I took a quick solo trip. I wasn’t there long and mostly just saw some of the important tourist sights, like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. I enjoyed it but I saw little enough I’d definitely like to go back
