    What an incredible show with fantastic works! FIAC looks like the king of all art expos. I want that Gorilla now, and perhaps a few of those chairs.

    And yes, that library is amazing.

    I wish I could go there and look at everything.

    I really liked that old lady in the blue dress haha

    Absolutely enchanting, Cedric! What a show! I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was pleased that there was at least one woman [in PARIS] wearing Chanel...!

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
