| Louis Vuitton Foundation |
Peter bounced off the flight from Argentina on Sunday (that's what an upgrade and 8 hours sleep will do for you) and although the weather was dreary and damp we decided to go to the Jardin d'Acclimatation to see the new Louis Vuitton Foundation building by Frank Gehry. Well, from the outside it looks like a ship in full sail, an impression reinforced by the water flowing down and under it. We were intrigued to see what the space inside was like, impossible to deduce from the shapes glimpsed through the sails. However, that will have to wait for another time as the queue was very long, well past the half hour marker, and just as we contemplated a wait it started to drizzle. We decided on a brisk walk instead, round the lake and back to the metro. On balance we weren't very impressed by the building. It was extraordinary but rather exaggerated.
