Regarding the exact place of the Louvre terrorist incident this morning, the photograph is taken at one of the commercial mall entrance, exactly the one near the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel  (stairs), with the stairs at right leading to a big corridor itself leading to the subterranean entrance of the Museum (again a big corridor leading to the zone under Pei's Pyramid. So we are in the non commercial zone of the mall, itself connected to one of the entrance of the museum.The statues on the left are, if I do remember well, rests of a pediment of the long ago burnt Tuileries Palace I do not know when the accident exactly took place, but if it is around 9-10, the are only people going to the museum in the mall, so not too many as it could be later in the day or in the week-end.
