Last day in Paris!
It's been a real treat to spend a month here. Beautiful city, beautiful art... Back to NYC this evening!
This picture is so cool - my friends and I went to MAC/VAL, this contemporary art museum on the edge of Paris, and this piece was by Shilpa Gupta and it was totally mind-blowing: essentially you stood and could see your shadow on the screen, and then random objects in shadow form would appear and you could interact with them. We had to take a photo (I'm on the left.)

Versailles
King Louis shows some leg.
The grounds were actually so much more impressive than the palace, if I can be honest.
I wonder how much of this interior decor I can try to emulate in my New York apartment...

Normandie
We took a jaunt over to lovely Trouville, about a week and a half ago. It was so relaxing and refreshing, though much too cold for the beach. We wandered around, ate delicious food, bought striped Norman-style sweaters, and didn't see a single art museum.
Trouville by day...
...and by night.
Crepes at la Maison, our favorite restaurant in Trouville, absolutely adorable cozy atmosphere and incredible sweet and savory crepes.
I know everyone supposedly goes mad for these bright macaroons, but I have to say, this one was my first, and I didn't like it - too sweet for me.
La plage was a bit gloomy, but I kind of liked the chilly weather, it really fit with the look of the place.
