A Modern Adventure

I did promise myself an outing with the camera yesterday afternoon, and I came good! I met a friend and we went for a visit to the Pompidou Centre, primarily to see Sabine Weiss's photo exhibition, which was excellent. However, while we were there we also went to see 'A Modern Adventure' which runs until the end of August. It was spectacular. I loved these items of furniture displayed at the glass window overlooking the Sacré Coeur in the distance.

Awesome shot .. the contrast with the modern and the city buildings in the back ground...

[Richard Sayer]

A lovely blend of ancient and modern... and anything with Sacré Cœur in it gets my vote!

[Denise Wood]

What a great contrast :)

[Wylie]

lovely contrast. We're planning a trip to Paris later this year. Any tips?

[Joyce]

[Helene]

[KWind]

[Margaret Brown]

What a view! Love the contrast

[KoalaGardens🐨]

this makes such an interesting image - the lines in the foreground and then the vista laid out in the background

[Islandgirl]

Wonderful scene and view!

[Taffy]

The background scene draws my eye into and then through the foreground objects. Very cleverly composed!

@pusspup Oh gosh, where to start? How long have you got? What do you like? Don't miss the Fondation Louis Vuitton. I love the Pompidou Centre too. Try a lunch on the Seine - Le Calife is a nice small boat which does a two hour lunch cruise and is not too 'touristy'.. Don't miss Montmartre, the Place du Tertre and the Sacré Coeur. If you want a great view over Paris, go to La Défense, The Grande Arche. No queues. Book ahead for anything you know you want to do - it'll save you lots of time. Anything I can help with, let me know!

@pusspup Oh, and, Jardin des Tuileries, Jardin du Palais Royal and Jardin du Luxembourg are all wonderful for strolling!

@jamibann that's a wonderful collection, thanks so much. We only have a few days so will have to be organised by the sounds of it! I'm told there's some sort of "Paris pass" that can be purchased for entry to some things???

[Issi Bannerman]

@pusspup https://www.parispass.com/?affid=403 There is ... depends entirely on how much you'll use it, but it could well be a good purchase.

The view is amazing. The furniture is sparse and modern, but it's a perfect spot for it to be viewed.

[Leslie]

Love the lines and repetition

@jamibann thanks Issi, it looks really interesting but you're right its not cheap! will have a good think about what we're wanting to do and if its good value.
