A zillion things to see, hear, taste, experience and resorb! Little bars with big warm atmosphere and huge galleries with more than huge installations, the whole experience is enormous! If you add a little bit of Palais de Tokyo exhibitions or a segment of Pompidou Center collection and spice it up some French wine - then you get a memory for life!
Palais de Tokyo is a contemporary art gallery with no more then 4-5 installations, but they are the biggest ones I've seen so far. Projects are mostly highly complex and some of them require a close interference of public (viewers). At the exhibition called Superdome, a big pile of garbage with a huge pipe in the middle of it is a good example. It was a house covered with garbage where you may enter only by crawling into the pipe and then when you enter you find yourself in a luxurious house with a garage, pool, 2 floors and I have no idea how many rooms! That's one hell of a contemporary way of art expression...

On every corner you may find something creative and inspiring. Lots of vintage shops, museums, street arts and small galleries including the smallest gallery of Paris which I think has no more than 1 quadrate meter!

Pompidou is another story. A place where you may stay for 3 days and still don't manage to see everything inside! We stayed for maybe 2 hours and we saw only part of modern art collection and ran through the first floor with contemporary art collection :( My external memory was overloaded with images, so I think that it would be unfair not to share some ;)
