Palais de Tokyo - not only opened from noon till midnight (except Mondays) but, undeniably, one of the most extravagant adobes of the contemporary art in Paris. Its robust shape (built in 1937 for an international exhibition, derelict for almost 25 years and reemerged in 2001 as a museum) and concrete walls somewhat remind a warehouse. However - may not the name of the place confuse you - it has nothing to do with Japan, in the same way as the restaurant Tokyo Eat, with its well balanced fusion style cuisine and absolutely democratic atmosphere. A futuristic interior in the style of the seventies - with lamps resembling flying saucers, and chairs with inscriptions - allowing to choose the one that suits your mood the best. For example, nervous breakdown or sex addict... even visit of the toilets is worth-while - winding stairs leads to the second floor, where in front of your eyes unfolds a plastic wall - covered with pictograms. And the door opens - as to Alice in the 21st century Looking-Glass House. A new experience guarantied.
