The narrator of Le Resquilleur du Louvre is a homeless man with no name. He steals a museum employee’s badge and makes the Louvre his home.

Spending his days looking for a place to spend his nights, trying to pick up tourists, he makes ends meet by picking pockets in the coat check. Against this highly irreverent and humorous backdrop, we enter the daily life of one of the world’s greatest museums. As the days go by the squatter learns all about the museum, and his true quest becomes clear: he wants desperately to understand art. Through his journey, the author shows that heaven, like home, is anywhere you make it.
