On our last day in Paris, we went to the Pompidou museum of modern art. Its fame lies primarily in the building's design: it is a building turned inside out, with escalators, lifts, air and water ducts, and its very structure on the outside, leaving plenty of room on the interior to display those works of modern art.
We also saw the Place Igor Stravinsky (for all you Sabrina fans, you'll know this spot!), and had lunch beside it at a lovely brasserie. The food was delish, and the wine (a Bordeaux) even better. I must say, though, my favourite part was the creme brulee for dessert!
Speaking of good food, we spoiled ourselves one night by going out to a really nice traditional restaurant for dinner. Peter ordered a beef dish, which was cooked to perfection, while I enjoyed a meal of duck. Dessert consisted of a brownie (very un-French!) and a platter of cheese for me. It was great to go out for a really nice dinner and pay half of what we would in London :)
