The Carrousel du Louvre is an underground shopping mall in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France, managed by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield. The name refers to two nearby sites, the Louvre museum and the Place du Carrousel. The mall contains a famous skylight, La Pyramide Inversée (Louvre Inverted Pyramid), which plays an important role in the best-selling 2003 book The Da Vinci Code.
Among other stores, it had the first Apple Store in France, and a McDonald's restaurant, which created controversy at the time.
