As of yesterday, I have only one month left in Paris.
In some ways, I still can't believe it has gone this fast. But there is definitely a big part of me that is ready to be back stateside. Nonetheless, there are still many things to see and do here.
I crossed one more off my to-do list today with a visit to the Musee Arts Decoratifs, which is in the same 'chateau' as the Louvre. The permanent collection of the museum features jewelry, furniture, clothing, and collectibles. There is also a current exhibition of the work a married couple called the Lalanes. They create pieces that look like animals, but are also functional pieces of furniture. So what looks like a rhino is actually a dresser. A dinner table is surrounded by chairs that look like sheep and set with silverware that looks like lobster claws. The pieces were really beautiful and interesting. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed in the exhibit, but I snapped a few 'illegal' photos.

The permanent collection was absolutely stunning. Here are a few of my favs:
