Paris Day 9

Ah! I’m writing on the train now. We’re on the way to Netherlands now to meet my other cousins. It’s been a busy 2 days, that’s why we haven’t been blogging..

Anyways. Yesterday, we devoted the entire day for an educational trip to some art universities. But before all that, we went to Galeries Lafayette. It’s like a Isetan in Sg.

This building you see here is devoted to the Women, the building next to it is for the Males.

The view from the main atrium, it’s just very beautiful!

Ok.. so we are here at the first university. Beaux-Art de Paris. This uni is quite up there. Not sure if it’s the best in France, but yea.

One of Julien’s friend, Jean-baptiste, (JB in short) took us for a tour around the premises, to the classrooms, studios and galleries.

The have all the freedom in the world to do whatever they want.

On the way to the next school, we passed by some pretty cool shops. Like this one where Julien goes to buy his art materials. It’s the oldest around. And sexpensive too.

The next University we went to is Julien’s very own school. They have animation, product design, fashion design etc.

What’s cool is that popstar designer Philippe Starck designed the interiors and retro fitted the exteriors.

We couldn’t tour the insides but we visited the toilets. That’s all.

Dad eating some very sweet juicy yummy strawberries on the way to another school.

And at long last, we arrived at a art school in Gobelins. This is one of the best animation school around.
