Lovers of France's two great symbols of cultural exception – its haute cuisine and fine art – are aghast at plans to open a McDonald's restaurant and McCafé in the Louvre museum next month.

America's fast food temple is celebrating its 30th anniversary in France with a coup -the opening of its 1,142nd Gallic outlet a few yards from the entrance to the country's Mecca of high art and the world's most visited museum.

even the expression, "restaurant" does not fit the brand. and the smell, the so unique smell of museums - to enjoy art with a cheesburger smell invading into yur nostrils.

i'm sure in a couple of weeks the employees there will have ketch-up stains on their ties and shirts
