Publi� en 1948, Les Grandes Heures du Louvre est l’histoire du palais du Louvre � travers les si�cles : du ch�teau-fort construit par Philippe-Auguste au mus�e d’aujourd’hui, en passant par la construction des Tuileries sous Catherine de M�dicis, du pavillon de l’horloge sous Louis XIII, sans parler des projets de modernisation imagin�s par Louis XIV et les destructions de la Commune de Paris, sa derni�re transformation sous le r�gne de Napol�on III, et tant d’autres aventures plus secr�tes et charmeuses.
Plus qu’une simple histoire, ce livre est aussi une œuvre litt�raire � par enti�re. Liant l’histoire � la litt�rature et les rois aux po�tes, l’auteur �voque sa propre vie. Et voici le souvenir d’une promenade avec Laurent Tailhade, d’une dispute avec Alfred Jarry, d’un apr�s-midi pass�, dans le jardin des Tuileries, avec Paul Val�ry : � Assis sur un banc, dans la ti�deur d’un Paris plein d’ombrelles et de toilettes claires, plein d’id�es faciles, il nous plaisait d’interroger le vieux b�timent. � Le livre �blouissant et m�connu du plus grand �crivain de Paris au xx^esi�cle avec Guillaume Apollinaire.
