We walked in the Marais area today from Place Bastille to the Pompidou.
The Bastille, the famous torture prison of French History, is long gone and in its place is a large clogged roundabout with a column topped by a winged Mercury carrying the torch of freedom.
Louis the 13th has his head in the clouds here in Place des Volges.
We took a side visit to the Picasso Museum and found it decidedly inferior to the special Picasso exhibit we went to in Madrid at the Reina-Sophia.
The Pompidou was OK but we still liked the Thyssen in Madrid better. I took this picture of "The Adoration of the Veal", because I think the veal looks like McCain.
The Red Rhino is a perfect image of the Pompidou.
