Lotta and I visited the Marie Antoinette exhibition at the Grand Palais today. There was a queue to get in and it was quite crowded inside. Those with tickets bought in advance walked in ahead of the queue, why didn´t we think of that? Anyway, the exhibition was very good although we were both a little bit disappointed not to see her clothes and shoes. Maybe they didn´t survive, after all it´s been over 200 years..... There were paintings, furniture and some decorative items. The picture is of a mother of pearl writing set. I bought a book so I can learn a bit more about the poor unfortunate woman.
Then we had a quick lunch at a nearby Paul cafe and headed up the Champs Elysee a bit, popping into Gap and Zara. I didn´t buy anything! Metro then train back to school in time for pick up. A good day in all.
