The Louvre is the pride of France and it's on the verge of collapse. Can we rescue it in time? | Agnes Poirier

Charles V kept his celebrated library here; Henri IV installed his cabinets of paintings, objets d'art and arms, and created within its walls a veritable city of artists, where cabinetmakers, tapestry-makers, painters and armourers lived and worked.
