Just wanted to share with you an saturday evening night !!
This saturday night, it was the fourth edition of the "Nuit Blanche" (Restless Night)
in paris. This is a night sponsored by the local government and industry that features all kinds of artists during the night (from 7 pm till 7 am the next morning.)
Igor Carron did a google maps hack to show the main paths of exhibits place (more than 150)
(http://www.pegasus-bridge.com/nuitblanche/)
The pictures are not great, I know... It was taken with a small camera.
I just wanted to share a more personal experience.

00:10 -
We have finish to diner. Time to start the exploration.
00:50 -
We have almost achieved the blue path (parcours nouvelle vague)
This is the sixth place to visit (inside of one of the the biggest hospital in paris)
Thousand of these green things are moving with the wind everywhere around us. Several hundreds meters filled with this strange lifeform. The crowd is mute. Atmospheric feelings.
Closed to Tolbiac. In the rear of the picture the french national library buildings
are used to show the works of a Swedish artist (http://www.haakansson.net/)
01:20
We're back in Chatelet. It's over-crowded. People are dancing in the street. it's impossible to walk.
01:40 We finally reached the Beaubourg museum .
We want to visit the exhibition but after 20 minutes we gave up. Too much people.
02:30
Notre-Dame is hosting the christ of Rio de Janeiro (This is the year of Brazil in France)
02:50
We restart our walk through the city.
03:20
We are in one of my favorite bar in paris. Le bar sans nom (the bar without a name)
When we leaved, the raining (cold) was there.
Bastille is still over-crowded.
05:20
we made the last stop in a cafe to drink the last beer.
06:00
A poetry addict wants to make the poetic revolution ! he was trying to convinced people to follow him !
06:20
it's time to come back home.
We finally found a bakery open. The smells are delicious and the bread warm.
06:50
Back to home and time to prepare the breakfast :
black coffee, eggs, cheese (roquefort and gruyere)
yoghurts, chicken, orange juice and red wine to finish the night.
A shower, teeth and bed.
Et voilà !
I read that several others cities are doing now the same kind of event.
Montreal will have his own Restless Night in february 2006. I hope it will be a success.
