Did you know that presently, the staff at the Louvre Museum in Paris is on strike? Not that the French ever need an excuse to strike, but the reason for this particular walk-off is the demand for bonus pay. Turns out that those poor guards are experiencing such stress looking after the Mona Lisa and other Louvre masterpieces, that they just need to get payed more. Could all those American " DaVinci Code" tourists finally have done those guards in?
In typical French fashion, access to the museum was made free for visitors after strikers blocked access to ticket desks.
