It's discrimination, but we French people pay for the Louvre with our taxes. It should be taken into account in the admission price. Some landmarks are free for French citizens already, like the Pantheon.

It says non-Europeans so it’s not just the French.

Well the museum receives grants from the EU as well, so that works too

US citizens pay taxes to support the museums in DC's National Mall which are free to enter for everyone, even the French.
