Paris Rouge - Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine

There are a very few places in Paris that I think are off the beaten path. Why this fabulous museum ( that overlooks la Tour Eiffel) is still one of them, I have no idea.  Have you been?

Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine

Metro: Trocadéro

The View

Last summer my friends Peter and Mary joined me for our first look at the rather newly reopened (2007) la Cite de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. I've posted some previous photos here. Please click on the link to learn more about this amazing museum. Housed in the east wing of Palais de Chaillot, at the Place du Trocadéro, visitors are treated to this jaw dropping view from each of the soaring windows that face the Seine. Decidedly one of the best in town. After we had covered every inch of the museum , we had some refreshment from the small café and sat out on the terrace. There we found we had the same fabulous view as the much pricier restaurant across the way. You'll thank me for this tip one day! :)
