Thoroughly enjoyed reading your post on L’Institute du Monde Arabe. Exquisitly described.
Bonjour, tout le monde. I visited this incredible building in June 2006 and found it totally intriguing. I have just spent the better part of an hour reading this Website and enjoying the photos and I feel like it was just yesterday that I was there in person. I hope that I can return someday to enjoy it all over again. I am very interested in learning more about the Arabic cultures. Thank you for this very pleasant memory.
