Rooftop garden looking at the small pots on the front wall. These are sitting on the cap stones on the top of the wall. I have found that the small terracotta containers dry out very quickly the nearest ones have lettuce and peas and the larger far ones have pepper plants. The plastic containers are 20 liter olive containers that were given to me by a neighbor down the street who collected them from a nearby grocery/deli.
Our hotel in Cluj, Romania, the Beyfin (clover), was modern, in an area that was less so. The rooftop next to us reminded me of the action movie chase scenes, with the hero dextrously running along the peak. Not so likely here; more likely to slide down, and off . . .
Take a look at the rooftop of the Louvre, it's beautiful
The Musée du Louvre, or officially Grand Louvre — in English the Louvre Museum or simply the Louvre — is one of the the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. It is a central landmark of Paris and located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are still visible. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of antique sculpture. In 1692, the building was occupied by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres and the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which in 1699 held the first of a series of salons. The Académie remained at the Louvre for 100 years. During the French Revolution, the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum, to display the nation's masterpieces.

The rooftop gallery is an open-air space with excellent views of the surrounding area. The centerpiece of this level, which also includes a small library, is one of Kusama's iconic polka-dotted pumpkins.
The excellent Yayoi Kusama museum is somewhat out-of-the-way and requires a pre-purchased online ticket, but it's definitely worth it. The collection is small and you can only take photos on the top and bottom levels. However, I highly recommend it for any Kusama fan.
