The Musee du Louvre chose Cimlec

Cimlec Industrie awards maintenance contract of high voltage points in the Napoleon Hall.

The 21-meter high Louvre Pyramid, designed by I.M. Pei, signals the main entrance to the museum.
Initially controversial but now indispensable, the Pyramid has garnered worldwide recognition as a symbol of modern Paris since its inauguration in 1989.
This glass and steel structure with its perfect geometry provides a striking contrast to the surrounding Napoleon III style buildings. By day it reflects the sky of Paris; once darkness has fallen it sparkles like a jewel.
The purely geometric design of the pyramid is echoed by the underground Hall Napoléon, a vast reception area of beige stone and white concrete, and a model of contemporary architecture with its straight and oblique lines, triangles and pyramidions, circles and spirals. Every Tuesday (museum closing day) the area can accommodate from 400 to 1500 guests for a sit-down lunch or dinner, and from 400 to 3000 guests for a cocktail buffet.
