Luxury boutique hotels in Paris near the Louvre Museum

The Louvre Museum stretches 700 meters on the right bank of the Seine. In 1200, Philippe August built the Louvre fortress on the north bank of the Seine. A keep surrounded by a moat, the symbol of royal power, stood at the center. The foundations of the keep and the moat still exist and belong to the medieval part of the museum. Rebuilt in the mid-16th century for use as a royal palace, the Louvre became as the residence of the King.

In 1527, François I announced is intention to take up residence in the Louvre. He was the first eminent patron of Renaissance Italian masters. Twelve paintings from his original collection, including the Vinci's Mona Lisa, Raphaël's Belle Jardinière and Titian's Portrait of François I are among the most important masterpieces of the museum. Buildings were added and remodeled to remain a royal residence until Louis XIV in 1682 when the King relocated the Court to Versailles.
