Today I enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Le Perroquet, the restaurant of the Casino de Paris, with my new French friend Isabelle. The prix fixe menu is very reasonably priced at 20 euro for three courses. You have two options to choose from for each course. I had the artichoke for starter, fried chicken with polenta and to finish a duo crème brulee; a traditional crème brulee and one with strawberrys mixed in it. This was actually much better than I had thought it would be.
After our lovely lunch we went to the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris to see a temporary exhibition of the works of the British artist Peter Doigt. Above I have placed a picture of one of his paintings. He uses a lot of nice color combos and I like much of his work, but I found the paintings with a monochromatic color scheme a bit boring. On the other hand, what I especially like is when he paints the sky. He captures lots of different blue colors and the way he paints the stars in the sky is very nice. I would recommend anyone who has an aversion against modern art to review his work, since its very rich with ideas and symbols.
