British tourists will have to pay more to enter the Louvre in Paris under new plans announced by Emmanuel Macron at the museum on Tuesday.

Non-EU citizens are being targeted by the French president as he seeks to raise money for the attraction, which has been plagued by overcrowding, leaks and outdated facilities.

During Mr Macron’s visit, he also said Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa painting will be granted a dedicated space in the Louvre.

The world’s most-visited museum will undergo a full-scale renovation, which Mr Macron said would be finalised by 2031. The last upgrade dates back to the 1980s, which is when the iconic glass pyramid was unveiled.
