Having only about 36 hours in Paris, Hubby and I had to pick and choose what culture to take in. The Louvre was one I had visited several times in previous trips to Paris. That didn't mean that we could not bask in the glowing light of the Carousel de Louvre. The inverted pyramid now famous from The Da Vinci Code book/movie. The majestic gardens outside were also worth a stroll.
As a designer, the Musee Les Arts Decoratifs had always been a favorite during my Parsons Paris school term. There was a terrific Contempory Fashion exhibit showcasing many of the famous Haute Couture pieces that inspired me to work in fashion. The larger exhibit was of animal motifs. It showed different classes of animals, (birds, beasts, imaginary, animated, etc.) and how they influenced everything from furniture, graphics, clothing to industrial design. This was a child-friendly exhibit as well, (though clearly Hubby and I ignored that point).
