We all know Paris as the city of the lights, of love, of Haute Cuisine, Shopping and first of all we know Paris as the city of the museums. The French capital is one of the favourite destinations for a lot of tourists because of the delicious cuisine, the historical monuments, the charming districts or only because of the romantic streets. The Centre Pompidou is one of the most spectacular cultural centres in the world. Sit back, relax and discover the Musée National d´Art Moderne, the national museum of contemporary art!
The Centre Georges Pompidou not only stands out in the landscape of cultural centres in Paris because of its impressive architecture, but also because of the huge amount of cultural activities. Thanks to those once young and unknown architects named Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, the Centre Pompidou enjoys a wonderful creative design. We have all perhaps seen pictures of that unusual and gigantic building without having visited the museum. We all recognise those big tubes, the stairs which are outside of the building, the huge escalator, which is also known as the big “glass caterpillar” or the vast quantity of different colours.
The Centre Beaubourg, the original name which was later renamed to The Pompidou Centre, was inaugurated on 31st January in 1977. In the past, the famous market of Les Halles used to be in this area. Nevertheless due to the former President George Pompidou this area with economical and social problems was transformed into a dynamic and active centre. If you want to discover the French capital, then you will find the Centre Pompidou near to Les Halles and Le Marais, the famous districts known for the vivid and explosive nightlife especially for the gay public. You can spend all day long in the Centre Pompidou without getting bored.
The Pompidou offers you a big public library (la Bibliothèque publique d´information), the National Museum of Modern Art which concerns itself with contemporary art done after 1905, a lot of spectacles and a huge variety of different concerts. If you want to relax a little bit from all the new impressions, why don’t you have something to drink or eat in the restaurant Georges which is situated on the 6th floor?The Centre Pompidou doesn’t offer you only cultural treasures, but also a gastronomical culmination. You can enjoy the most delicious French food in a pleasant and young atmosphere.
Moreover the creative decoration of this restaurant, as well as the wonderful view over the city of lights makes you feel like a king, drinking coffee on the terrace of his palace. Besides it should be mentioned that there are a lot of cafeterias where you can have something to drink although you can only enjoy the wonderful view over the French capital in the restaurant George. So what now? Are you still sitting there on your chair in front of the computer? Come on! Book a flight to Paris!
