I Love Paris

If you are having a Paris holiday and have covered most of the basics of the City of Lights, then you must see these modern marvels in Paris:

Palais de Tokyo

This is a museum of modern art and the exhibits are jaw dropping ranging from the bizarre, surreal, and whimsical. From the terrace of the museum, you will have a great view of the Eiffel Tower. They also have an excellent restaurant serving great food and drinks while soothing music plays in the background.

Musee du Quai Branly

MQB for short, this museum displays indigenous arts from Asia, Africa, Americas, and Oceania. The museum is housed in a building designed by Jean Nouvel which is famous for its cube installation for its facade. At the rooftop of Musee du Quai Branly is Les Ombres, a restaurant that has a ceiling of glass so you can enjoy the Paris skies. The view while dining is also spectacular as it is just a few blocks away from the Eiffel Tower.

Centre Pompidou

The building of this museum is an art by itself. It is the brainchild of Richard Rogers with the design follwing and inside out concept where the escalators are outside of the structure. It is home a huge collection of modern art with creations of Matisse and the great Picasso.

Historial Charles de Gaulle

This is a high tech museum meant to be an extension of the Musee de l’Armee. You will enjoy the tour of here since you will be using a device similar to an iPod which activates a voice tour as you enter the different halls. There is also a hall with multiple tv screens showing the life of General Charles de Gaulle.
