View from the top of Centre Pompidou

The Sacre Coeur in the back











This you know already...

I discovered this woman reading on the roof
 ... what a lovely thing to do... 
I could not read one page 
as I would have to look around all the time...

I was blown away by the view - such a large city! In Paris live 10 million people whereas in Switzerland we have about 8 million inhabitants. To me the view had a Mediterranean touch - all white! The visit was worth just for the view. Of course we also visited the permanent exhibition. More about that in one of my next posts.


Hope you're all have a relaxing evening!

Centre Pompidou





























As I told you in my yesterday's post Centre Pompidou (National Art and culture center) "est une merveille" and a must to visit when in Paris. It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture. The architectures being Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and Gianfranco Franchini. It was opened it 1977 which I found amazing as it looks still very modern and stylish. It houses the Musée National d'Art Moderne. From the top one has an amazing view over the city which I will show you tomorrow together with some pieces of art!

In the meantime I hope I have made your mouth watering! See you tomorrow!
