Here are some pictures from our aimless wander around the Pompidou Centre.
Being able to find interesting things at every few steps you take, makes Paris so awesome.
This fountain is called Fountaine Stravinsky, and it features
sculptures that represent the work of Igor Stravinsky, the composer.
In the dreary rain, colorful and whimsical sculptures immediately stood out.
This one should be
La Sirène (The Mermaid).
Then we went into Paroisse Saint Merri, which is well old and beautiful.
It was built in the 1500s and looks a little worse for wear, not being as famous as Notre Dame.
But it exudes a wonderful Gothic atmosphere and had some interesting artwork in it, like that patchwork quilt.
I think it's so gorgeous.
There's a lady who's sitting in the chair in front of the amazing stained window.
We left the church after leaving a donation and drifted along the street.
Cute window display.
Visited the BHV again - now there's a shop devoted to pet supplied.
The sea-blue floor of a transformed courtyard in Marais.
Funky little van.
Always great to see the classic "shoes dangling on a line".
I think this is the Musee des Archives Nationale.
It was like a library/paid admission so we only entered the reception area and left.
Oh yes. The graffiti tags here are on another level.
Wandered into Passage Retz.
It was like a office / hotel area.
Being August, many boulangeries were closed.
And some roadwork. With surprised tile-old-man-in-striped-tee.
