Parc Phoenix and Musee d'arts asiatique July 8

A parc in an area with banks, offices, and near the airport--it has a big greenhouse with all sorts of exotic plants, an insectarium (which was really gross by the way), prairie dogs, lots of varieties of birds, etc.
It's quite nice for 2 euros--you can really take your time to walk around, there weren't a lot of kids even though the vacation has already started for them. There were some groups of kids from summer camps, but they were not annoying or anything.
The most annoying was just seeing a bunch of gross insects at a close distance. aarrgh... my goosebumps appeared again.

The Musee d'arts asiatique was a nice building, and must be very impressive for the French, but for someone like me, it was no surprise. There were several rooms with arts from Japan, China, Korea, India, etc. There was a large area for the history and art of Buddhism, and art related to Genghis Khan.
For me, it was a nice quiet place to cool off from walking a long way in the heat before I headed for the parc. Wahaha...
It was nice nonetheless.

Beautiful day, nice walk!
