Une visite à Paris grâce à Juliette

I went to Paris by bus in May to see Juliette Gréco at the Olympia. At the same time, this was a great possibilty to meet up with some friends in the capital.


Saturday: Promenade à Belleville. This is the house where Édith Piaf was born.

One of the countless selfies of this weekend.

We had lunch with lovely Madeleine, met with my collegue and Kinga...

Then we walked around a little bit and discovered all the statues in the Tuileries.

This is art! =)


Iwona, Franzi, Guitchime, Kinga, Madeleine


Groupie Guitchime in front of his icon...



Legends everywhere in Paris... It's true, I neglected Piaf a little bit these last years. ;-)



We changed and got ready for the one and only Juliette...
ready to go to the Olympia 



an iconic place for a true icon



After the concert, we tried to see as much as possible from La nuit des musées - all of the great museum in Paris were open. Unfortunately, they most of theme closeed round midnight... so it was more like Le soir des musées.

La nuit des musées: At the Grand Palais, there was a futuristic exposition: MONUMENTA 2014. Ilya and Emilia Kabakov - Une ville utopique.
Monumenta 2014 : Ilya et Emilia Kabakov

A little midnight snack at Belleville with Ien-Tchov. We didn't find a better place to eat.


Sunday: Barbecue in the garden of Agnese and Francois:


It's a men's world!!! *PROST* I like the look of little Louis...



Girls, girls, girls!!!



A delicious pre-birthday cake made by Inese. Paldies!
