Etymology
Louvre was first the name of a royal palace and fortress on the Seine in Paris, built to protect the city. The name may come from an old word meaning 'fort' or 'watch', so a helpful way to remember it is that a building which once 'guarded' the city now 'guards' great works of art as a famous museum.
