La Cinèmathéque Française
Located at 51 rue de Bercy The Cinèmathéque Française is housed in the former home of the American Center. A building designed by Frank Gehry.
Here is a page with a little information about it.
When we were in Prague last year, I very much wanted to go see the Gehry building known as Fred and Ginger but completely spaced it until near the end of the last day of our visit, by which time it was too late. I hope I will not make the same mistake this time.

Rick Steves’ Audio Tours
Rick Steves’ is finally producing Audio versions of the walking tours in his books. And lucky us, he’s starting with Paris!
The first two up are audio guides for the Louvre and d’Orsay museums along with maps.
They can be downloaded from his site here or you can subscribe to the podcast through iTunes.
Next up is are tours of Versailles and an historic Paris walk.
This is great. I love to do the walking tours in his books when traveling, and it will be so much nicer not to have to carry around the books and stop to read every few minutes. This way is much more inconspicuous.
