Often
one
might
hear
the
opinion
that
visiting
the
Louis
Vuitton
Foundation
is
only
worth
one's
while
depending
on
a
particular
exhibition.
We
disagree
vehemently.
We,
as
many
other
a
Paris
visitor,
love
and
are
being
charmed
by
Haussmannian
buildings
and
Grands
Boulevards,
but
the
creation
of
Frank
Gehry,
the
indisputable
genius
of
modern
architecture,
does
fully
merit
a
dedicated
trip
to
Fondation
LV.
Additionally,
it
is
a
good
opportunity
to
visit
the
area
of
Bois
de
Boulogne,
somewhat
distant
from
the
central
arrondissements,
Bois
de
Boulogne
that
is
a
cult
location
for
French
and
world
culture,
arts,
and
literature
(think
Marcel
Proust,
Renoir,
Alfred
Sisley,
Van
Gogh
or
Jean
Béraud,
among
dozens
and
dozens
of
celebrated
painters
and
famous
writers
who
portrayed
the
location).
This
opportunity
includes
a
quick
visit
to
the
nearby
Jardin
d'Acclimatation,
which
grounds
merge
and
blend
right
into
the
territory
of
the
LV
Foundation.
The
latter
is
ideal
for
visitors
with
small
children
who
would
love
the
leisurely
waddling
peacocks
and
ducks,
pony
and
amusement
rides,
rafting
adventure,
and
a
puppet
theater.
Right
now,
for
another
month,
an
amazing
exhibition
"New
World
of
Charlotte
Perriand"
is
on
display.
As
the
title
goes,
it
is
dedicated
to
Charlotte
Perriand
(1903-1999),
a
larger
than
life
seminal
figure
in
the
French
and
world
design.
The
exposition
of
a
highly
extensive
and
representative
nature
is
located
on
the
several
levels
and
includes
the
works
of
Charlotte
Perriand's
close
collaborators,
such
leading
artists
of
the
XXth
century
as
Picasso,
Fernand
Léger,
Le
Corbusier
(whose
artwork,
much
to
our
revelation,
proved
to
be
so
more
contemporary
and
beautiful
than
his
monstrous
architectural
heritage),
Joan
Miró,
and
Alexander
Calder,
among
others.
Of
course,
numerous
design
works
and
installations
by
Charlotte
Perriand
are
comprehensively
represented.
Tickets
are
available
online,
on
the
Foundation's
website.
Uber
"Black
Car"
(professional
drivers,
known
in
France
and
listed
in
Uber
app
as
"berlins")
was
about
25
euro
from
the
Left
Bank.
A
trip
from
a
centrally
located
Right
Bank
hotel
or
apartment
should
be
around
20
euro.
