Les Chats du Louvre, Tome 1

2017

Lors d’une de ses visites guidées, Cécile aperçoit dans les allées du musée du Louvre un petit chaton blanc qui semble écouter ses commentaires. Quand elle en parle à son collègue, celui-ci ne la croit pas. Monsieur Marcel est gardien de nuit depuis des années. Sa famille travaille au Louvre depuis des générations. Ce soir, il forme Patrick, une jeune recrue. Très vite, il s’éloigne du circuit habituel pour emprunter le chemin des combles. Là haut, Patrick découvre des chats. Marcel vient les nourrir et explique à son jeune collègue que ces chats ont toujours habité au Louvre. Ils étaient là déjà à l’époque où le Louvre n’était qu’un château. Une fois les gardiens partis, les chats se mettent à parler. Il y a Barbe-bleue, Myosotis, Dent-de-scie, et le petit chat blanc, c’est Flocon. On raconte qu’il est spécial, ce serait un « passe-tableau »… mais qu’est-ce qu’un passe-tableau ?
