Dropped by the
Picasso museum yesterday, housed in the Hotel Sale mansion in the Marais. It's interesting, because while Picasso's more famous works are housed elsewhere, this place gives you a chance to witness his artistic development through the years, and see some of his more "flights of fancy" stuff - e.g. the paper-mache goat. Also shows off sketches/studies, sculptures that were in his studio, and even some photography. Also has a nice little cafe out back where I had a terrific (albeit marked up) tart au fraise.
In the evening, my new french friend took me to
Le Reservoir - a great restaurant/ba
r with live music. Last night, it was "Liberty Doc" - so named, I found out, because the band members are also all doctors. They were quite good and, surprisingly, sung almost entirely in english. Apparently even non-english speakers here tend to prefer english music, I suppose because there's more of it to choose from. I Will Survive in a french accent was particularly enjoyable.
