The Obama family was up early on a cool and overcast Sunday morning. Shortly after 9 a.m., they arrived at the Pompidou Center, a modern art museum constructed of color-coded ducts that has become a famous landmark since it opened in 1977.

Obama and his family went to the top of the Pompidou Center, which has one of the best views of the whole city.

The whirlwind tour of Paris began early Saturday evening at the 12th century Notre Dame cathedral, where Obama lit a candle and listened to a children's choir. Thousands of tourists lined the streets.

3. Pompidou Centre is a great place for kids.

The quirky architecture is fun to see,(that tube they are in is the escalator going up to the top floors). A great view of Paris on top, and down on the Plaza are mimes, jugglers and street artists of all kinds. What a great week-end for the First Family! Keep those great pics coming.

The Stravinsky Fountain by Tinguely



I also love his fountain in Basel, a wonderful city FULL of art if you ever get near there.
