Paris & Lyon

A combination of work + leisure took me to Paris and Lyon last week; a nice escape from my daily routines, I have to say. And surprisingly enough I really enjoyed Paris this time - it wasn't stressful at all and besides work I still had time to soak up some "culture" (and yes, this also includes my morning coffee on a sunny terrace in Montmartre). 

Paris being Paris there are of course a million things to do and I managed to go to the Musée d'Orsay for the very first time as well as visiting the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson. They were showing photographs by Sergio Larrain, a Chilean photographer who was also part of Magnum Photos. 

Some of the images, especially of the street children in Chile, were very capturing and I especially like black and white photography so this was a real treat. If you happen to be in Paris before December 22nd you should have a look, the entry is free on Wednesdays after 18:30.
