Rueil-Malmaison, France

I saw very very little of Rueil-Malmaison because I came down with a horrible cold.  If I wasn't at work I was in my hotel room sleeping.  Or at the grocery store buying pomme banane sauce because it was the only thing I wanted to eat.  My boss who was on tour with us for a few stops (and French) told me I was basically eating baby food.  But it was good so I didn't care.  

Luckily for me the hotel room here was awesome.

The bed side of the room had script wallpaper!
The other side had toile wallpaper!  So beautiful.

Even though I hate purple these lamps were so cute.  The purple part was sparkly.


Art!


Musée des Années 30 Fashion

The best part of the museum was 100% the fashion display.  It was hard to get good pictures of anything because of the way they were displayed, but I did what I could.

























Because of our short time and guided tour I didn't have time to really investigate everything like I normally would have.  So I took pictures of the guides in case I ever want to go back and translate the info.








Boulogne-Billancourt, France

Boulogne-Billancourt is just outside of Paris proper at the end of one of the metro lines.  We arrived there with very little sleep since we had to fly out so early on the day after a very late show and a dinner.  We stayed at this pretty seedy little hotel where my feet would have hung a foot off the bed-if the bed hadn't been shoved in between two walls.  My shower was really creepy as well.  We had a little time off in the city and one of our presenters organzied for us to go to the

Musée des Années 30 (Museum of the Thirties) which was quite a nice morning.  We followed that up with some crepes before heading back to the theater.  I didn't take any pictures of anything other than our museum trip.

This one was gorgeous.



This painting matched....
this chair!







I think we spent about 20 minutes trying to read the French on this one.







Gorgeous art deco room screen.


Babar!!
