At the end of a general meeting which took place for three hours, this Sunday morning, the staff of the Louvre voted for the right of withdrawal, effectively preventing the opening of the museum.
Since the early morning, the establishment had kept doors closed, to everyone's surprise.
Even if museums are not affected by the ban on gatherings of more than 5,000 people, decided on Saturday during a Defense Council, employees of the Louvre expressed their concern at the epidemic of coronavirus which continues to progress in France. The tourists met by "Le Parisien" had difficulty understanding this gesture.
