Aduchamp1...

We also are not so fond of the pyramid (though not as passionate as you). We always enter the Louvre from the metro station on line 1 (Palais Royal - Musee du Louvre)...no pyramid to stare at and no long, long line to force us to stare at it incessantly.

...but each to his own...

I dislike intrusive architecture. A new or modern structure can have the different colors, textures, materials, style, or design but their should be some connection or cohesion with what exists.

The Pyramid has been adopted by the Parisians, unlike the Pompidou Center.

As a NY'er, I know the city adopts certain things just to be contrarian. And, as an occasional visitor to Paris, I have heard the same.
