Every spring the association of art galleries in Saint Germain- Art St. Germain des Prés- has a weekend event to promote the galeries of the area. This year the theme is La Vie en Rose avec Ben. From May 19, starting at 6PM to Sunday May 22, over 70 galleries will participate and they run the gamut including contemporary art, modern art, modern design and furniture, decorative arts, photography, and jewelry. These are some of the top galleries in Paris so don't miss this event if you are an art lover. For sure the Champagne and wine will be flowing at many of the venues so drink up and drink in all the fabulous art. The galleries are mostly concentrated on the following streets: rue Mazarine, rue de Seine, rue Bonaparte, and rue Guénégaud.
