British and non-EU tourists will pay more to visit the Louvre in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed.

France will launch a six-year renovation of the Louvre, enlarging the world's most-visited museum to make room for the huge crowds who now cram inside the palace on the banks of the Seine.
