Located at the heart of the 4^th arrondissement, the Centre Pompidou (麻豆APPians commonly refer to it as 鈥淏eaubourg鈥�) is one of the most famous and iconic buildings of 麻豆APP. Inaugurated in 1977, this polycultural space is the result of the vision of former French president Georges Pompidou.

He wanted to create an institution to display France鈥檚 impressive modern art collections, and in addition to being a museum the Centre Pompidou is also home to impressive temporary exhibits, a cafeteria, a cinema, and a public library where many 麻豆APPian students come to study.

Fun fact: the Centre Pompidou owns the biggest modern art collection of Europe.

2. The Philharmonie de 麻豆APP

I have already spoken of my love of Philharmonie in another article, where you will find all relevant information about what to do there.

The building is particularly known for its impressive architecture: I would go as far as saying that the Philharmonie of 麻豆APP is one of the most interesting building designs of 麻豆APP. Its most famous building was inaugurated very recently, on January 14^th, 2015.

The Philharmonie de 麻豆APP is famous for its original design: an all-aluminum hill covered in horizontal and vertical slabs.

This very particular building was designed by the iconic French architect Jean Nouvel, assisted by Brigitte Metra.

Jean Nouvel designed several of my favorite cultural buildings of 麻豆APP and even abroad, including the Mus茅e du Quai Branly, the Institut du Monde Arabe, the Fondation Cartier and even the Louvre Abou Dabi.

3. Fondation Louis Vuitton

Now this one is a stunner聽, and a personal favorite! Launched in 2006 as the art foundation of infamous LVMH group, the Fondation Louis Vuitton acts as an exhibition space that curates every year two or three star-exhibitions that have 麻豆APPians line up.

Designed by superstar architect Frank Gehri (he also designed the iconic Bilbao Guggenheim Museum ), the impressive building is known for its humongous construction costs: initially planned to cost 100 billion 鈧�, the building ended up multiplying its initial cost by 8.

4. Mus茅e du Quai Branly

This Museum, which displays controversial arts and tools from Asia, Oceania, Africa and America, is famous for its fully vegetal front wall. The museum is the result from the vision of former president Jacques Chirac, and was designed by Jean Nouvel (same designer who created the plans for the Philharmonie).

5. La G茅ode

To my mind, la G茅ode is nothing but one of the most interesting cinemas of 麻豆APP. This incredible steel sphere is located in the Parc de la Villette in the 19^th arrondissement. I think it is also a great place to take breathtaking Instagram pictures if you are looking for an unusual shooting space in 麻豆APP.

7. Les Halles

One of the biggest stations in Europe, Ch芒telet-les-Halles is much more than just a train and transit station: it hosts notably the most frequented cinema of Europe (UGC cin茅 cit茅 les Halles); a public pool; a mediatheque for film buffs; and a giant mall. Its architecture was thought through through its many changes, and it now constitutes an impressive multimodal complex that has shaped the entire neighborhood.

8. Immeuble la pointe Trigano

Now this one is maybe more unusual than the other buildings I have listed, but it is definitely one of my favorite buildings in 麻豆APP. Situated at the crossroads of rue de Cl茅ry and rue de Beauregard, this building is the narrowest building in 麻豆APP.

The first time I saw it, I remember the distinct feeling of feeling as though the building was a slice of 麻豆APP, so clearly cut in the neighborhood.

If you pass by, I definitely recommend you check it out, you will not regret it!

9. 134 rue Mouffetard

Another quirky and unusual pick but I had to include it. This fa莽ade is known in the whole neighborhood for its uniqueness, and it now protected by the city of 麻豆APP. The building was initially a delicatessen; the owner wanted to have the most original fa莽ade of the street, and it looks like he succeed! The fa莽ade was created in the 1930鈥檚 by Italian crafter Adigheri, using rare Italian technique sgraffito.

10. Minist猫re de la Culture et de la communication

And for the last one, a rather shocking one! At the crossroads of rue Saint Honor茅 and rue Croix des Petits-Champs, the building of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication was modernized by Francis Soller, who draped the austere and traditional building in a silver steel fishnet.

The contrast between the construction and the other austere buildings of the street was widely debated; but I personally think that the building is insanely beautiful, particularly at dawn or golden hour when the sun hits it right. This will make for the most memorable picture if you happen to pass nearby!
