The Post Office Of The Louvre

Reopened to the public since January 18, 2022, La Poste du Louvre is a historic Parisian building dating back to 1888. Designed for hospitality and leisure, the metamorphosis of this architectural icon involved a five-year renovation led by architect Dominique Perrault.

Covering 32,000 m², La Poste du Louvre now welcomes visitors to a multifunctional space that houses shops, restaurants, accommodation, offices, and services including a fully operational post office.

Valued for their ability to flood interiors with natural light, fire rated glass partitions and fire rated curtains play a vital role in ensuring safety while maintaining transparency. These systems, along with glazed fire doors, provide optimal fire protection by preventing the spread of flames, smoke, and heat between floors and rooms. Their design seamlessly integrates with the building’s historic framework, enhancing openness without compromising safety or aesthetics. Additionally, privacy and discretion are achieved through the spy mirror effect applied to select glazing areas.

The renovation required fire-resistant glass solutions from Vetrotech Saint-Gobain EI60 and E30: CONTRAFLAM, CONTRAFLAM STRUCTURE, CONTRAFLAM LITE, VETROFLAM and PYROSWISS.
