Pompidou Center, yo!!

So, we have found the joy that is the Pompidou Center. Located about 2 minutes from our flat, it houses Frances National collection of Modern and Contemporary Arts.

It also has a free Wi-Fi connection, so me and the hubs can scoot down there and work when we need a breath of fresh air. SCORE! Of course, they only let you connect for an hour 1/2, but ah well, c'est la vie.

Outside there is a multitude of street performers and caricature artists - so if you ever wanted that wacky drawing of you with Brad Pitt done while you watch fire jugglers, you know where to go. Musicians, mimes, and performance artists abound!

There is a cool courtyard featuring a pond filled with the mechanical fountains from artists Jean Tinguely and Niki de StPhalle where you can just sit outside and chill.

Robbie et moi like to hit the café on the 2nd floor, get our espresso on, and get to work.

Also, they have a free Bibliotheque (Library) that is amazing, and their gift shop is awesome as well. Loads of great art books and bargain bin finds.

From the top of the Center is a great view of Paris.

Hooray for Pompidou!
