I wouldn't feel bad about paying more than the locals to visit the Louvre. It doesn't feel worse than getting the Floridian discount at Busch Gardens. I feel like locals should be able to visit places in their own area easily. Over the course of their life they are likely to spend more there than any forign person, and, I don't know for sure, but their taxes probably go somewhat to upkeep or at least supporting infrastructure.
