Centre Georges Pompidou
(other side) This museum houses a large modern art collection.

My friend Mark's studio...
...it's basically a shoebox. 9 meters squared. With a toilet on the floor.

musee d'orsay
from the outside, of course.

musee d'orsay
..from the inside this time. This museum houses mainly impressionist art. It used to be a train station. It is incredible.

one of the views from the clock.

van gogh exhibit in the orsay.
this is van gogh's self-portrait and a sort of replica by a Russian artist. What interests me is the obvious French obsession with fake oranges and lemons in art museums. Your guess is as good as mine.

l'opera
this is the main operahouse.

l'assemble nationale
i'm not sure if i spelled that correctly, which doesn't say much for my french. this is where the congress meets.

nice waiter...
...he talked to us for about an hour and even brought my friend martha a birthday drink!
