The sun setting behind the Louvre Pyramid with the Arc du Carrousel in the background

A breathtaking photograph captures the magical moment of sunset over the Louvre Pyramid. The orange sun descends behind the glass structure, creating a golden atmosphere enveloping the entire Cour Napoleon. On the left, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel can be glimpsed, perfectly aligned with the Pyramid and, in the distance, with the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Elysees hill, forming Paris's Historic Axis. The silhouettes of visitors in the square add a sense of scale to the composition. The Ferris wheel of the Jardin des Tuileries is visible in the background. This shot exemplifies the magic of Parisian light that has inspired generations of Impressionist artists.
