British tourists will have to pay more to enter the Louvre in Paris under new plans announced by French president Emmanuel Macron at the museum.

Mr Macron said 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pay a higher entrance fee to visit the Louvre, the world's most-visited museum, which is plagued by overcrowding and outdated facilities.
