The Francelator's tips

How to stay awake on Nuit Blanche:
~ sleep all day, or loll around in a café, and save all your museum-going for the all-night open hours
~ go dancing in the brisk October air at one of many outdoor concert installations
~ change your setting by getting on the all-night Metro and see another part of the city ablaze in the night-long festivities...
~ check out my Picks for the lesser known cultural musts in France, like La Cinémathèque Française in Paris...only for the clued-in!!!

Fab. I like the angle and yes Culture is everywhere in France if you pay a little bit of attention.
A fun video that makes me want to take a TGV right now...

Video - I had to work on catching pronunciation of French twrms and SOME of the hurried English. In any re-make, please SLOW down and enunciate clealry. However, the video is creative, imaginative and informative ABOVE ALL.
