THE SAILBOAT IN THE CLOUDS

Take a small sketch drawn on the white page of a notebook, pair it with thousands of panels of transparent glass, then construct it out of glass timber and steel... we adored the behind-the-scenes architectural trail of Frank Gehry's design and construction of The Louis Vuitton Foundation .

Set on a basin, the building was designed like a sailboat or a vessel poetically floating in the clouds above Paris fitting into the natural environment, between woods and garden, playing with light and mirror effects - it had us both entranced all morning.

Dinner was in a new area for us called Odeon which seems to specialise in bookstores and manuscripts. Fittingly, it was the Bistro of poems where we ate, including a delicious pear served with molten chocolate poured over it, yum!

Wow, the most amazing library, great to relax in with specialties in comics and art history (bibliothèque national de France)もっと詳しく
