Drownout France

Centre Georges Pompidou

Centre Georges Pompidou
Here's where I'm all set up now. It's the first two floors of the well-touristed modern art museum in Paris (which is just the top two floors, well, at the very top is a restaurant called Georges which is tres chic).

Click on these for detail on the library. 14 Juin.

So it's modern and ultrahip yet enormous and comfortably provided with essential resources. There's a nice cafe where all the kids eat snacks and step out onto the outer balconies for smokes (and to look at each other).

It's mostly teenage kids that use the place. I can't quite tell precisely what age. They could easily be college-aged and I wouldn't be able to tell them from pre-teens. They are, of course, the problem, since they like to giggle.

Weirdly, the library doesn't open at all until 12 noon. Strikes me as a bit late, but hey it works for them.
