Au revoir Helene! Hello Centre Pompidou!

Friday morning Deanna and I sadly said good-by to Helene as she headed back to the states.

Then we wandered the Marais area and ended up at Centre Pompidou. With it's escalator, plumbing and air vents visible from outside, the building is a wonder to look at.  It's six stories high and we went straight to the top to enjoy the magnificent view.





We meandered through the modern art museum located in the centre. It houses approximately 50,000 pieces from 1905 onward.  It basically takes off from the Musee d'Orsay.  It includes a great collection of pieces by Henri Matisse.

And then we got lost again in the streets of the Marais, but eventually ended up back at the apartment.
