The Palais du Louvre in Paris: entrance from the north through the Pavillon de Marengo into the old Louvre courtyard, the Cour Carrée. Visible in the background is the Pavillon des Arts (the central pavilion of the south facade of the Cour Carrée) through which can be seen the entrance facade of the chapel of the Institut de France on the far (south) side of the River Seine. This is no accident: Louis Le Vau, the architect of the Institut's building (at that time known as the Collège des Quatre-Nations), intentionally designed it so that the entrance could be seen from this point.
