Paris Photo
En route with Parisian Velibs we started towards Bois de Boulogne and the Fondation Louis Vuitton, on which Daniel Buren put colours on the 12 sails of the building:

We wanted to enter to visit an exhibition, but discovering the waiting queue we changed our plans, toured a bit around the building and 'velibed' back towards town for a tea break. Next plan was to visit Paris Photo 2016, the 20th edition of this exhibition in the Grand Palais. Three lessons learned today:
a) don't make fun about other people (in front of us a small group of people was walking, one lady with coloured coiled socks and open sandals. When passing the VIP entrance of the exhibition they asked us if we would like to enter the Grand Palais with their tickets ... only this evening finding out that the entry is 30€ ... per person ...)
b) even 'normal' photos look different and much better when printed large and arranged in groups ...
c) it must be so hard to live from photography ...

Now off again, invited for dinner by our former landlords.
