Centre Pompidou (National Modern Art Museum), PARIS

Centre Pompidou is one of my favorite places in Paris.




Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers were the two architects behind this amazing monuments.
Their approach was an 'inside-out' boilerhouse approach, where air conditioning, pipes, lifts and even escalators were on the outside. 




The area around the center has a very hip vibe. People come from all around the city to sit at the surrounding cafes watching street performers and enjoying the fountains there. 







On the 5th and top floor there is a restaurant and a cafe called George, which has one of the best views of the city. If you don't love Paris already, one visit to George and you'll fall madly in love.
