What is the name of the underground shopping center beneath the Louvre?

The underground shopping center beneath the Louvre is called the Carrousel du Louvre. It occupies the subterranean complex beneath the Louvre and the Place du Carrousel, linking retail, food, cultural, and visitor facilities with the museum.

The mall was created as part of the Grand Louvre redevelopment and opened on 15 October 1993. Its most recognizable feature is La Pyramide Inversée, or the Inverted Pyramid, a glass-and-metal skylight designed by I. M. Pei, the architect behind the Louvre’s main pyramid.

The Carrousel contains shops, restaurants, exhibition and event spaces, and an entrance to the Louvre’s underground reception area. Its location at 99 Rue de Rivoli also puts it beside the Tuileries Garden and close to the Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre Metro station, served by lines 1 and 7.

Visitors sometimes confuse it with Forum des Halles, another major underground shopping complex in central Paris. Forum des Halles is farther east in the Les Halles district; the Carrousel du Louvre is specifically the retail center beneath the Louvre complex.
