Le Louvre – Paris, France

July 22, 2014

Le Louvre is one of the most visited museums in the World. Le Louvre began as a fortress in the XII century but its French Renaissance architecture dates mainly from the XVI century and was transformed into a public museum during the French Revolution. French Kings and Emperors, as well as Presidents have left their mark on this palace. The highest quality materials, such as Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Limes, are finding their natural place in the restoration, construction and maintenance of this architectural marvel.
