Nuit Blanche

Saturday, friends and I got to experience Paris' annual "Nuit Blanche" (which means white night). The event is an all night art fair/party in the city parks, churches and streets. It was so fun! There were awesome art installations everywhere that played with light! Like the hundreds of red umbrellas and gold circles covering the grass of Parc Butte Chamunt below. Artists were also projecting videos on the sides of buildings and in addition many buildings changed the colors of their spot lights. The streets were packed with people at 2 in the morning! I thought this event was such a cool idea. And its success shows how the french people appreciate the arts and enjoyment of cultural events in their city.
