✎ Update
After several days of stoppage and a partial reopening mid‑week, Louvre staff voted on Dec 19 to suspend their rolling strike and fully reopened the museum. As a result, the previously anticipated closures/curtailments for Dec 21–23 will not take place. A general assembly on Jan 5 will reassess next steps.
