Centre Pompidou

Here are a few more photos from my parents' visit. We went on a walk (with a tour book) through the Latin Quarter to discover some of the history behind the area where I have classes. Here's Dad and me working on getting back to the hotel - I've got a Plan de Paris (thanks Mrs. Mullane!) and he's got some map program on his phone. Oh, and it started raining while we were out. Not nearly as bad as meeting my host mother and sister at a restaurant - it started pouring as soon as we left the hotel and we got there drenched.



One day before class, we went to the Centre Pompideu, the modern art museum. You can see the city really well from it's top floor - Sacre Coeur is in the back of this one.


And here's Mom and Dad on the escalator that's in a pipe-like structure outside of the main building area.

One of the exhibits we saw was called Elles @ Popideu (Elle=She/her). I liked this one where the artist made famous artist names feminine. Outside of this special exhibit, there were some cool pieces Picasso, Miro, Magritte, and Matisse.
