PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that non-EU visitors will pay a higher entrance fee to visit the Louvre, the world's most-visited museum, which is plagued by overcrowding and outdated facilities.

During a visit to the Paris museum, he also said Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting will have a dedicated space in the Louvre.
