Le Centre Pompidou and Sacre Coeur

---

We visited the Pompidou Center for Modern Art in the morning and walked to Montmatre and the Sacre Coeur in the afternoon. Cara calls this the "Parisian Death March 2" (apparently, Part 1 was yesterday).

At the Pompidou, I learned about Matthieu, "The Rebate King Of France." He has lived for 9 years saving 2000 Euros a month by only purchasing items that have a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" return policy. This includes food, clothes, mattreses, and even electronics! I tease my workmate, Jamie, because he wanted to start a rebate stand. Jamie, if you are reading this, I have found your Jedi Master!

You have be asking yourself, "What's on French Television?"

Well, at the moment, the Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival are receiving a lot of attention. I've also seen French MTV, NYPD Blue, Nip & Tuck, Queer as Folk, Starsky & Hutch, and Lois & Clark (wasn't that like 10 years ago?) All in French, of course, but occasionally I find a V.O. (version originale) with subtitles. Don't worry, I've seen a few museums in between episodes.

Anyway, take care until next time.
