Pompidou Centre
Salad Nicoise for me and possibly even healthy. We sat eating lunch at a little cafe close to the Pompidou Centre as we had wanted to maximise our time once inside the galleries. The Paris Pass allowed us to enter without queuing once again. Yay! Good investment. Works dating from 1905 - 2010 dominated the two floors that we visited. Each floor and wall space was absolutely crammed with remarkable modern art, paintings, spectacular optical illusions, sculptures, everything Picasso, video texts and so much more. Hours later a little foot sore the four of us headed for the gallery's cafe for a cool 
drink.
As we were sitting in the elevated cafe we became aware of live, contemporary, movement art being played out below us. Naked cavorting people attracted a gallery of surprised spectators. A must see place for those who may usually shy away from the traditional museums or galleries. Take a very close look at some of the exhibits as some of the finer details will amaze. On a clear day the views from the upstairs galleries provide good camera opportunities too.

Best Paris lunch, would really like to go back and see this one again and take in the top floor properly.
