Things aren't good in Paris, probably the worst year so far, that said, that didn't stop us from still going out for a few pictures. The first time out was to see the Palais de la découverte:

After that Grand Palais' expositions on Toulouse Lautrec and Greco. We started with Toulouse Lautrec:

After the expos, we took a few pictures outside, and some more when we came back to see Palais de la découverte the whole day:

We then went next to the louvre for the little Xmas houses:

We then finished up with pictures around the louvre and walked out nearby streets to a subway station that was meant to take us home, but didn't because of the strikes:

On my last day in Paris, I went to the Google office for a bit (few people were there because of the stupid strikes), and then went to walk nearby Printemps and Hausmann department stores for their Xmas decorations and terrace views:

I then had a show by the eiffel tower theatre, took a few shots while there:

And then, I had to walk quite a while before I found an open subway station to get home. Sigh...
