Tips

history
The Louvre pyramid, finished in 1989, was designed by the Chinese-American architect 贝聿铭, I. M. Pei; critics mocked the president as 'Pharaoh François'. His other Grands Projets include the Opéra Bastille and the Grande Arche at La Défense.
usage
The standard PRC transliteration; Taiwan usually writes 密特朗 too. Note 特 stands in for the French -tt- cluster, a common Chinese rendering of European names.
