Carousel Arch, Paris

The Carousel Arch in Paris is within the Louvre area and in a direct line with the pyramid.  There is a surprise as part of all of this. Under the Carousel Arch and stretching under the pyramid is a below ground mall with shops and restaurants.  Under the pyramid is the main entrance to the museum. (Use the Carousel entrance for a shorter line.) The mall is pretty and modern with "hip" shops. It came as a big surprise as I did not know it was there and have trouble figuring out how it got there without ruining the ground floor area.
