The concert was organised as part of a fundraising campaign for the 18th century Decorative Arts Gallery of the museum, which is scheduled to re-open its doors again in 2011.
Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon is reported to have said he hoped their gig had "put a smile on the Mona Lisa's face".
The Louvre has never before permitted a pop concert to be held in its grounds or in its buildings so it was a first time historic occasion for the museum and Duran Duran.
The funds raised by the concert will be used for the restoration of a Louis XV drawing room, originally designed and built for the Hotel Villemare, which is going to be a special feature of the Decorative Arts Gallery.
Duran Duran are returning to the capital of France on the 2 July to appear at Le Cigalle, along with support by Mark Ronson.
