Inside the Louvre there is an upside down pyramid, the exact location of the end of "the Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown (great book, if you haven't read it you should) This pyramid is in the middle of what I would call a shopping mall. Along with the usual tourist shops and postcard stands, there were clothing stores, make up shops and an Esprit. I found it a bizare mix between the old and the new all mashed together in the basement of Le Roi Soleil a few meters away from the Mona Lisa.
