paris, part 2.

Wednesday morning we had a late breakfast before the exhibition. It was already afternoon when we finally got there. We spent couple of hours there and were very impressed. Unfortunately it was forbidden to take pictures there. Go and see The Air Is On Fire if you have a chance! The paintings are unbelievable. They don't look much like anything in photos, but seeing them in reality, all the textures and three-dimensionality and the little details you can't see in a printed picture - it was amazing. I bought the exhibition catalogue which is a book of over 400 pages of pictures containing all the important works of David Lynch. I also bought some DL Signature Cup coffee and a t-shirt. But the book was the best thing I got from Paris.


















After the exhibition we had dinner and went out for drinks later on.



















Thursday started with a picnic in the Buttes Chaumont.















This picture is taken at the top of the Buttes Chaumont. You can see Montmartre in the horizon.


















Thursday night we had an amazing dinner at a restaurant called Les Trois Marmites in the Ménilmontant area. After the dinner my friend's local friends took us to an art show. These pictures are from there.





















































Finally it was Friday, and though we didn't want to, it was time for me and miss Bunny to head home. Thank you Paris, we will come back some day! Oh, the memories.. I think I'm going to have to open a bottle of wine now.

sous le ciel de paris

This blog post is in English, so I am sorry for all the incorrect spelling or whatever mistakes there may be. I wanted to show you some pictures of my adventure in Paris! This city is magical.

I have a little friend travelling with me. My son was sad because he couldn't come, so I promised to take miss Bunny on the journey instead. Here's what we have done so far:


















Here we are on our way from the airport to the city. Miss Bunny is a little tired but very excited.



















In our friends' house reading the map. It was good to see them again, we spent the first evening drinking wine and eating great food and talking until 3 a.m.














Morning coffee at the yard. This is a lovely neighbourhood, very cozy and bohemian.















Bunny at Jim Morrison's grave. The Père Lachaise cemetery was so beautiful, I felt like I could spend the whole day there.


















Bunny got so moved at Edith Piaf's grave that she left her little green scarf there as a gift.


















We walked past Notre Dame but didn't go inside.


















Bunny at Pont Neuf


















Bunny at the tower Eiffel. We didn't have time to go inside because we were in a hurry for the movie..


















This is where we went to see Inland Empire. I have been waiting for that moment ever since Mulholland Drive, and it was so nice to experience it here in Paris. I loved that film and recommend it to anyone who likes dark and dreamy mysteries.



















Miss Bunny liked especially the scenes with the rabbits.



















The theater was small and almost empty. I thought I'd be alone, but someone came in a little before the movie went on. The atmosphere was very lynchian indeed.

Today we're heading to the David Lynch exhibition at the Fondation Cartier!
