Centre Pompidou is as much a work of modern art as the ones it hosts

Looking for the best views of Paris? Head to the most bizarre and eye-catching building in the city, Centre Pompidou. With its colourful structure, the cultural hub isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it offers an interesting art collection.

Once you go up and take the futuristic travellators to the top of the massive blue and red building, you’ll discover an unblocked view of the City of Lights. Art enthusiasts shouldn’t just admire the views, but also visit their collection. Their exhibitions are contemporary and always pretty surprising. 

If like me, you love shopping, then don’t forget to stop by the museum shop, which is full of quirky stationery and beautiful books that always make unique gifts.  

The cultural hub offers a 180-degree view of the French capital.
