The Carrousel du Louvre is an underground shopping mall in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France, managed by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield. The name refers to two nearby sites, the Louvre museum and the Place du Carrousel. The mall contains a famous skylight, La Pyramide Inversée (Louvre Inverted Pyramid), which plays an important role in the best-selling 2003 book The Da Vinci Code.
Among other stores, it had the first Apple Store in France, and a McDonald's restaurant, which created controversy at the time.

The Salon du Carrousel du Louvre
Every year the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, an association of artists created in 1861 by Louis Martinet and Théophile Gautier to break with the Official Exhibition, organizes its Salone in the Carrousel du Louvre. In 2018, 600 artists exhibited their works in front of about 15,000 visitors in just four days. The Salon des Beaux Arts welcomes painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers and illustrators, offering its guests a complete overview of the world of contemporary art.
