Some do like it, whilst others consider it to be too modern. The pyramid created by I.M. Pei is a glass structure that seems to some residents of Paris to be far too modern and not in keeping with the true sense of the old lines of the Louvre. Others consider it to be a modern update to an "oldern museum" and so in keeping with a sense of the 21st century. It is basically the same debate that occured over the Tour Eifell, to which most Parisians became accustomed to and ultimately in love with.

What is the difference between de and du.. why do we say la pyramide du Louvre but le festival de Cannes and de New York et du New Jersey as well?

" du " is used instead of " de le ". This is for words (all of them masculine) that are that are usually preceded by " le ", like " le Louvre ", " le Mans ": je viens du Mans - J'ai vu les statues du Louvre (I come from le Mans - I've seen the statues from Le Louvre). Same for " New Jersey " (in French, " le New Jersey "). Doesn't work for Cannes or New York, proper nouns which never uses a definite article.When the definite article for a word is " la " (all feminine words) or the shortened l + apostrophe, you use " de la " or " de l' " without replacing them by " du ":J'ai de l'argent (I have money) - J'ai mangé de la confiture (I ate jam)
