The late president Francois Mitterand loved modern things and wanted to make a showcase of his presidency, to be remembered as well as Pompidou is for changing the face of Paris, and to put some modernity in the beautiful but admittedly time frozen centre of Paris. Despite screams of fury from the Parisians and many others he chose that glass thing created by Ieoh Ming Pei. There's even a second pyramid, inverted, in the middle of the round about which you can see if you take the underground corridor to see the foundations of the Middle Age Louvre fortress. Mitterand is also responsible for the ugly toothpaste like columns of Buren in the courtyard of the Palais Royal http://kamizole.blog.lemonde.fr/files/2007/12/colonnes-de-buren.1198927031.jpg The opera Bastille metal bunker on the Bastille place http://www.andreas-praefcke.de/carthalia/france/images/f_paris_bastille_2.jpg The ugly high rise buildings supposedly looking like open books that is the latest addition to the National Library. Even the inside was designed by the architecte with 'art' in mind, not work. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BGAo9KII0HQ/TDPBBwkwFFI/AAAAAAAADTg/dIs9vLcke8E/s1600/Bibliotheque_nationale_de_France-fr.jpg And the grande Arche at la Defense which to my mind is the only one to look good. http://global.photobynight.com/images/20090209123804_grande_arche_de_la_defense.jpg
