Ecole du Louvre: the art of mastering the old and the new

REPORT - The establishment, the only one in the world to teach in front of the works of museums and which has welcomed Louise Bourgeois or Christian Lacroix, is celebrating its 140th anniversary this year. He takes the opportunity to afford a renovation and review his entrance examination, more selective.


"Apart from the lack of a nearby university restaurant and the fact that we had to prepare our canteen in the morning or, failing that, buy a triangle sandwich at the cafeteria, I don't see any fault with this school."

Between two classes at the Louvre, Jeanne Ordon, a scholarship holder in the third year specializing in arts from the Americas, leads the office of the 1,700 students of the intramural school.

Thanks to a kitty fed by an institutional contribution, a public subsidy equivalent to 2.50 euros per student and annual memberships (10 euros), this holder of an Essec diploma offers cultural outings to her colleagues, to the castles from Compiègne and Pierrefonds for the last getaway.

And also, since the students are 80% women, she distributes free period protection or glasses with anti-drug lids.
