Tuesday. Paris.
Imagine around one million people on the streets of Paris from dusk till dawn, trying to catch a glimpse of a several dozen art installations, sound and light shows, concerts and performances. That's Nuit Blanche 2008 for you ("nuit blanche" being "all nighter" in French).
I was among those hordes darting all over Paris on foot, by Métro and eventually, by vélib'. While some of the items on my itinerary made for interesting viewing (pictures below), others definitely looked far more enticing in the brochure than they actually were; or they had absurdly long lines to get in, so I didn't even bother. By the end of it all, I was tired, hungry, thirsty and wondering whether all that running around was worth it.

Monnaie de Paris: A sound and light installation (75006)
