My Paris Finish

There could never be enough time in Paris, but I made the best of my three days!  

There’s so much history here, and I saw that at the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Opera and the amazingly ‘resurrected’ Notre Dame. 

But I was also amazed at the new (to me) and very modern Louis Vuitton Foundation museum for contemporary art, completed in 2016. Overlapping and floating panels of glass are suspended from a skeleton of wood and steel, and it’s absolutely spectacular. The architect Frank Gehry designed the complex, which is located in a large public park on the edge of the city, and it includes tiers of cascading outdoor terraces. His inspiration was a sailboat, and of course that resounds with me.
