Cole Porter's Paris - Let's Misbehave.................

If you love the twenties/thirties era ( and I do..its where I should have been alive, if truth be known) it's music and its style, you can still find little reminders throughout Paris - its buildings, cafes and some restaurants and now there is a museum dedicated to the 1930's Paris located in Boulogne-Billancourt, a close suburb of Paris.  The Le Musee des Annees 30 ( the museum of the 30's)  of the 1930'a.
This area in the 1930's was one of the most dynamic towns in France. It was here just at the edge of the city, that film-makers Gance, Carne and Renoir and the architects Le Corbusier, Mallet and Tony Garnier came to live and work.
The museums has over 800 works of art. 
Open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 5:45pm. Le Musee des Annees 30.

Of course Cole Porter loved Paris and lived there off and on all his life and the 1930's was his greatest period of work.
So, let Cole Porter serenade you with 'Anything Goes".
