user experience

Paris - user Krista & Eric - 28/01/2008
We went to Paris for a long weekend and because there is too much to see in too little time, friends told us about the mobile cityguide of Paris We used it and was very handy! You always have your mobile phone on you in case of emergency so you don't have to carry a guidebook. After visiting a specific place we took our phone and looked through the list of descriptions of museums, restaurants and bars and we could easily choose what we wanted to do next. The speaken sentences were handy because a lot of frence people don't speak english ( and we donnot speak french very well). Also a lot of cabdrivers are arabic and only speak french.
Next time we will use it again!

EXHIBITION
Christian Lacroix, histoires de mode
8 November 2007 - 27 April 2008
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the creation of Christian Lacroix's Maison de Couture, The Musée de la Mode et du Textilr, the decorative arts have invited the designer to present his first monographic exhibition.

They invited Christian Lacroix to become the curator and historian he wanted to be when he studied art history at thethe Ecole de Louvre before embarking on his internationally acclaimed career in haute couture. For over a year, he immersed himself in the museum’s collections of costumes and accessories. The result is an atypical exhibition in which Christian Lacroix gives us his own personal vision of the history of fashion. For a few months the garments he selected from a heritage stretching back over several centuries will encounter the haute-couture creations of one of the greatest names of French fashion.
