     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, althoughit is not visible here.
