“This courtyard, designed by the architect Lefuel, was among the buildings occupied by the Finance Ministry between 1871 and 1989. The glass roof, added in 1993, is similar to that of the Cour Marly. The space is devoted to outdoor statuary from the 17th to the 19th centuries.” (Cour Puget, Louvre)
