Willy Ronis

After seeing the palace grounds, we visited Gallery Lumiere (after much confused walking in circles) to see the Willy Ronis exhibit. He's a famous French photographer, and you should look on the internet for his work if you've never seen it. It is stunning and awe-inspiring to say the least. You can read about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Ronis


I bought a poster of the following photograph. So yay, I now have a decoration for my little apartment. :)
Afterwards, on the way through an underground pathway, we saw the homeless. Well, we couldn't actually see them, because they had made these little cardboard rooms for themselves. When we had passed this site earlier, the cardboard wasn't there...only bedding. It was interesting to me, because back in Canada they would freeze doing such a thing, and if not, they would be kicked out by the cops. I don't know if there are shelters here or not. Then it was off to the clubs for the night. Fun, fun!!
