la fontaine Stravinski Paris
Tip of the day: Visit la fontaine Stravinski near the Centre Pompidou Paris This wonderful colorful automated fountain spews water, rotates, and moves. Hard to appreciate in these still photographs. But really fun in person. The Pompidou was closed for 14th July when were there, but we had a nice crepe lunch with a fountain view. (future post)
to the left, to the left.....
Tip of the day: Walk from the Jardin des Tuileries to the Louvre (or the other way around). See the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (ADTDC - see previous post) in the background of the above photograph? And the glass and metal pyramid of the Musee du Louvre in the foreground? The 2 are so close. You'll enjoy sitting and re-collecting by the water at either spot. How to get there (and begin orienting yourself to this area ripe with so many Paris treasures): From the Jardin de Tulieres, stand near the "little" Arc (ADTDC) and face so that your back is to the LARGE ferris wheel (great for orienting your location). Point left and just head that direction to visit the Louvre and this wonderful fountain. http://www.louvre.fr/llv/commun/home.jsp?bmLocale=en . Check the "visit" tab on the website for a guide to the different locations and entrances to the Louvre.
