Le Carrousel

While researching for the trip, I read that there was a mall underneath the Louvre. WHAT?  How could I have missed this.  So we decided to check it out.
There is an entrance on either side of the Arc.

Restaurants, cafes, shops...and an quick and easy entrance to the Louvre.
Avoid the lines on the surface!!

As we rounded the corner, we were shocked and
delighted to see the inverted pyramid.

There were a lot of both high end and fun shops. 
Apple had a HUGE store.

This is a pay-to-potty.  1 euro. What an
adventure. They sold designer toilet paper,
fancy bathroom stuff, and a 100% guaranteed
sterile toilette. 

Here is the list of stores.  I had always wondered
where people shopped for regular mall stuff.
here is one of the underground malls.

  1. So interesting to see the inverted pyramid. I liked the list of the shops. Imagine - Fossil - from here in Dallas, and you're buying it under the Louvre!

  2. Being able to see something that Ladee hasn't seen during one of her previous trips is kind of fun. We're experiencing it for the first time together. The pay-to-pee was quite the thing. Totally didn't get the concept, and I could have done without the nice young gentleman standing IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE your toilet door waiting to clean up after you. I'm going to stop drinking so much water.
