Graffiti seems to be hugely popular in Paris but a lot of it seems like art work not just defacing property with names. I think this one is quite tasteful therefore it has been left as it was on one of the main high streets.
Oooooooh so close. This is when the butterflies kicked in!! Can I do it???
Just after we got down from the top (which was amazing but petrifying) they switched all the lights on, it just looked stunning and you could see it for miles!!

The Louvre, Paris.
Again the Louvre was free to get in and somewhere we all wanted to visit. To see all different types of art work from all over the world and from thousands of years ago but especially to see Mona Lisa as thats situated inside the Louvre.
After waiting for the crowds of people I finally got close to whats prehaps the most famous painting in the world painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in in the 16th C.
I just cannot understand why is this painting is more popular than any other in there?
HOW AND WHY IS ANYTHING FAMOUS?
Paris Feb 2011
''The years 1990 - 2000" at the fashion and textile museum, Paris.
The exhibition was free to get into for under 25's like a lot of places in Paris, they try and encourage young people to follow and understand art which was really good. It started off with one of my favourite designers, Mason Martin Margiela, however I had seen all these pieces at Summerset house in London last Summer.

As the exhibition was in Paris, all the captions were in French which made it hard to understand what they were describing however I wrote a few down and translated them when I got back. It was quite nice to be able interpret your own decision in why each piece had been picked to go in there and maybe why it was designed and their influences.
