Georges' outdoor terrace on the 6th floor is a fabulous spot for a drink with a
view, though it's not so great for dining. The inexpensive mezzanine cafe on the
1st floor is also unmemorable. Walk instead to
Café La Fusée
or
Dame Tartine
for
an affordable lunch or well-deserved postmuseum aperitif.
The full-monty Pompidou experience is as much about hanging out in the busy
streets and squares around it, packed with souvenir shops and people, as ab-
sorbing the centre's contents. West of the Centre Pompidou, fun-packed place
Georges Pompidou and its nearby pedestrian streets attract bags of buskers,
musicians, jugglers and mime artists. Don't miss place Igor Stravinsky with its
fanciful mechanical fountains of skeletons, hearts, treble clefs and a big pair of
ruby-red lips by Jean Tinguely and Niki de St-Phalle.
