I had a wonderful weekend in Paris with lots of walks around the city. The reason why I went there was the Rise Against concert, I really wanted to see them live, because somehow I didn't manage to see them before. So it was time to do that and going to Paris is always nice, especially the museums are awesome there.
We arrived on Thursday evening in Paris and met Nina, we lived in her lovely Parisian studio in the 6th floor (of course without elevator) and just electrical heating (I am so happy that I now live in a warm and cozy place, because this reminded me so much of my flat in Vienna, which was super nice but always somehow cold in winter).
Friday we went to the Rodin Museum. Although I am not a big fan of modern sculptures (I think the Greeks did it best!) I was very impressed by his art. Also the palais where the museum is hosted is quite nice, surrounded by a beautiful garden in the middle of the city. Afterwards I treated myself with a little shopping and then it was time for Rise Aganist. I loved the venue Bataclan a lot, it was very club like with a balcony, where I could really enjoy the show.
Saturday started well with an french breakfast at our place. The location was super convinient, just 6 flights of stairs down and then you have been surrounded by the best bakery, butchers and cheese shops.
For dinner we wanted to go to Le Relais de l'Entrecôte but I was very crowded and had a really long cue so we decided to go to the Maison de la truffe. It was a really perfect dinner, but I don't unterstand the fuss about the truffle at all. Afterwards it was show time for us at the Crazy Horse. We helped ourselves with a bottle of champagne through the show and the also were very surprised to see Conchita Wurst perform there.
Sunday started as expected late for us with fuzzy heads from too many drinks, but nevermind we had lots of fun. We still managed to get ourselves to Centre Pompidou to see the Marcel Duchamp exhibition. I was always a big fan of his work and it was really cool to see so much of his artwork altogether. A real enjoyment for me! Also there was a retrospective of Frank Ghery, which a I also had to take a look at.
The weekend was gone so fast like the TGV train that brought as back to Zurich, but I still have this nice mood.
