I don't follow French elections often but is it normal practice for the winner of whatever party to give an address at The Louvre?
From what Sky News were saying last night, the candidates decide where they will celebrate. Macron chose the Louvre whereas Le Pen chose somewhere outside of Paris, I can't quite remember where.
