Sidewalk on the rue de Rivoli

     RivoliSidewalk         

This is the sidewalk that runs along the rue de Rivoli, as it appears near the Carrousel du Louvre. The types of shops include mostly vendors of tee-shirts and trinkets, small and somewhat overpriced “collectibles,” clothing, and “art objects.” There’s even a McDonald’s, very discreet but present, just across from the Louvre, although it is not visible here.
