South of Paris

We're back from our study trip to Lyon, Marseilles, and Bordeaux.
We got to stay for a night at La Tourette outside of Lyon, and we visited the Unite d'Habitation and the Maison Lemoine.
Here are some of the highlights of our trip:

museums and operas

At the Musee D'Orsay, a model of the Garnier Opera House and a polar bear.

The Bastille Opera House: Don Carlos

The Louvre after hours: ...

the catacombs

We visited the catacombs of Paris, a small part of the 18th century ossuary--almost 300 km total, right under the middle of Paris. (spoo-oo-ky)

time machines/figuras/selfportrait

avec écouteurs, s'il vous plaît.
with headphones, y'all.

velo!

new wheeeeeeels!

oh, and also...Christian Boltanski's Personnes, at the Monumenta 2010 exhibit at the Grand Palais.

Paris at Velib pace

I've spent the last two days riding around Paris using the Velib system, or their bike share.

It's hard to bike 10 minutes without passing something monumental..
