Louvre reopens fully after staff vote to suspend strike

The walkout had led to a full closure earlier in the week and a partial reopening on Wednesday.

Unions said the suspension followed five meetings with culture ministry officials but said progress remained insufficient, particularly on staffing levels, pay and long-term security plans. 

They also cited concerns over building deterioration and working conditions.

Union representatives criticised what they described as a lack of engagement from Louvre president Laurence des Cars during the strike, saying she neither met staff nor addressed them during the mobilisation.

Workers are due to hold another general assembly on January 5 to decide whether to resume strike action.
