Okay, this is a bit geeky. I like architecture and architectural elements - particularly windows and doors. The IMA (translation: Arab World Institute) has the coolest windows ever. The windows are light-controlled apertures arranged in Moorish patterns. As the sun gets stronger, the apertures close down bit by bit. Not far from the Latin Quarter if you'd like to see something different and architecturally cool. A quick visit is all that's needed to appreciate these windows - but well worth it. Just an example of the cool things Paris can serve up.
