Modern amongst old architecture in Paris

Placing modern architecture amongst old, grand landmarks in Paris seems to be a regular architectural theme. The Louvre pyramid is especially outstanding, it stands impressively amongst a powerful palace and demands as much attention as, if not more than, the palace. Likely because of the stark contrast from old to new and the unusual structure being next to a more comfortable, yet still majestic, one.
