Olivier, we missed meeting you in NY by just about an hour! Darn those early dinner reservations.

Funny aside, the driver who picked us up at CDG immediately began telling us about the great Picasso exhibit at the Grand Palais…I had to stifle a giggle, having read this just prior.

Anastacia… question is: will you still want to?! Mais merci merci!
Magalie… had a similar experience on Sunday à Beaubourg. Don’t know what happened to being hungover on Sunday. These people live unusual lives.

Sadly, there was actually so many people for Marie-Antoinette that I cannot believe there were not a little more Parisians among the visitors than the list you gave! It was awful! I didn’t go to the exhibition with Kiraz paintings because I was told it was overcrowded too. I really think that Parisians sometimes actually go to visit some exhibitions : it will just be those everyone is talking about. And, if possible, those who doen’t cost more than macaron! Otherwise, there is no point visiting it, and of course not a permanent exhibition!

Your posts are truely brilliant and witty. I’m sure after a couple more posts, I might actually pretend to be Parisian.

Aideen… rude? me? never! This blog tries to be vaguely humorous… intellos are not into humor!
Severine… 1 – Olivier 0
Fi… Never heard of Bridget Riley: that’s how much I’m into expos!

Damn, you’ve reminded me that I missed the Bridget Riley again. Missed it at home too.

Also there’s another expo you’ve missed and would have enjoyed too.

I am not really an expat wife since I am still working (contrary to the huge majority)

You did also forget people who work in the art business… They simply have to see all the exhibitions going on. And please, don’t be rude toward intellectuals, or you might lose a few readers…

Séverine… from your website, it seems that you were an exparts’wife to be ) Fair enough for the retirees… I’ve added it. Merci merci!
Maîtresse… retirees added. Intellos bore me and annoy me. Might as well give them no credit at all… (dicattorial mood this morning)!

You forgot the 6th and 7th categories: intellos and retirees. If it’s Sunday, it’s expo day.
