Obverse descriptionThe obverse features a mixture of views of several major French museums: Top left is an interior view of the Musée d`Orsay, recognizable by its superb clock. Next to it is a view of the façade of the Louvre, visible from the Cour Napoléon (where the famous pyramid is located). Below these two elements is a fresco on the Hôtel Salé, home to the Picasso Museum. The lower part of the obverse shows a view of the façade of the Hôtel Biron, now the Musée Rodin. Above, the famous staircase of the Centre Pompidou. The obverse also bears the face value and the words `République Française`.
