New Foundation

Not even a month ago, the Louis Vuitton Foundation opened its building - 8 years under construction - and is now a new attraction for Parisians and visitors.  The architect Frank Gehry created a building which defies everything we normaly expect from a building: solid grounded, straight walls and a sturdy roof.

 It is an amazing construction and impressive too is, how well the directions from the Metro station 'Les Sablons' were given.  It is just a 10 to 15 minute walk......

 But at every corner are signs to lead the way.
 Not enough, just in front of the building, a label for the visual impaired in relief and sign language.   Very thoughtful gesture to include everyone who visits.
  We feel a tiny bit guilty of not owning a LV handbag!
