We woke up to our last full day in Paris. With packing,
shopping, the Pompidou Centre and dinner on the river, it was going to be a big
day. As with the previous days, breakfast was first on the agenda. After that,
we swiftly took the Metro all the way to the Galeries Lafayette. Everything was
very expensive, backpacks costing 600 Euros, bracelets costing 400 and wallets
costing 150 Euros. Needless to say, not much was bought but the size of the
complex was fascinating,
Then we travelled to the Pompidou Centre, an art gallery
consisting of contemporary art. We thought it was very intriguing and the
artwork was truly engaging. It was much
different to anything we had seen before. Some artworks stand out, such as the
film of the religious practices in India, the white tile chamber and a painting
of a penguin shopping were all works that stood out to us.
Soon after that we headed straight to the river to enjoy a
delicious meal on a floating restaurant. An entrée of egg with mushroom and
leak, a main of potato and duck followed by a succulent pear and ice-cream to
finalise the meal was more than enough to keep us content.
The end of the day finally came and with it, mixed feelings.
We packed our bags to get ready to leave the beautiful city of Paris and for
the 20 hour travels ahead of us.
