Do you think they should rebuild the Palais de' Tuileries?

I visited Paris a couple of weeks ago, and IM Pei's Pyramides made me cringe. I heard the Palais de' Tuileries would help hide that eyesore.

What do you think?

Yes, the city and the Louvre museum would benefit greatly from the Palace's reconstruction.

I abhor the Pyramides. Sure, they serve a purpose by providing an entrance for all the millions who visit the Louvre every year, but they completely block the facade of the Palace itself.

Many people argue that axe historique would be upset....

Wrong! It's actually upset now without the Tuileries missing. When you look down the gardens, the Axe dead ends into the Louvre court yard, with Pyramides skewed to the left.

The Tuileries would help hide this mistake. Sure you could still see the Pyramides over the Palace roofs, but it would correct the architectural mistake made in the 80s (a decade well known for MANY architectural blunders).

I like the pyramid's, but I would love to see the Palais rebuilt! Maybe because I am a French Revolution freak. Paris is an old city and with the pyramid's it makes it look too modern. Especially at the Louvre, because of all of the old painitngs and sculptures and such.


Rillifane
In the first place it wouldn't hide it. In the second place it is not an eyesore.

No, and I like the Pyramids....besides, its not like rebuilding would be free, so don't you think that money would be better spent fixing the bulidings that actually still exist?


scotchorama
The question would be why rebuild the Tuileries?

No. I don't think they should. History occurred, there is no more Tuileries,palace. Rebuilding it would be a gimmick, will end up probably being historically inaccurate, and will end up being more of an eyesore than Beaubourg first unveiled. Rebuilding the Tuileries will also clog the area. The Tuileries gardens provide a nice contrast against the Palais du Louvre. Rebuilding the Tuileries Palace will turn the Louvre into just another large building. And it would be a shame to remove another green area from Paris.

The Pei Pyramid's contrast doesn't shock me. It is contemporary, and is in line with the Arch de la DƩfense-Arc de Triomphe-Champs ElysƩes axis. It was very "different" at first, but has now become part of the landscape.
