La belle vie a Paris

The best thing to see in Paris are, obviously, the art-viewing possibilities, as many as such a developed culture could offer - the museums and galleries are crowded with amazing pieces. Then there is the food, as amazing and multicultural as could be, and the romance is in the air.

Quick Tips:

The Musee Galliera, The Musee D'art Moderne de la Ville, and The Palais of Tokio, such as the Cartier Foundation, are three amazing, not-so-known places that have a great museography and a cut of the edge in contemporary art. There are really amazing, mysterious, and luxurious tea houses on the 4eme. and 6eme., and just walking all through Champs Elysee might present a new perspective of life and evolution.

Best Way To Get Around:

If I were to recommend a way of aknowledging this city for the first time, or just to really get to know it, it has to be either walking or by bus. The city is not so big, so you an go across it in a whole day of walking, or just by regular buses, which are comfortable and not so expensive if you buy a weekly pass. You can see the city as the French do.

I don't think the subway is the best, since most of the routes are below the city - you´ll get around fast, but will only see tunnels.

This is as much for me as Disneyland would be for my 12-year-old sister. It is an amazing place for the senses. The first time I went, I didn’t understand that much, but after going to many other museums all over Europe and Paris, I went back searching for a Modigliani I wanted to see, and then my spirit awakened for modern and contemporary art, for the poetry in between the senses and reality, and for the concept within the material.

The museum layout is just perfect. The pieces are precisely in their places. Speaking of the Pompidou, with all of its pieces, all I could say is that you are walking through a visual poem translated in our contemporary media. Every salon is perfect, and explains itself through the evolution of art since the beginning of last century, and then there's just a marvelous end of a round, white room singing to your soul.
