David Hockney at Fondation Louis Vuitton, Société d’Équitation de Paris

 

Yesterday I thought I was headed to 🐎the races but I ended up at  DAVID HOCKNEY 25 at FONDATION LOUIS VUITTON. Go figure. Instead I hopped back on the bus, went 1 stop, & a nice walk through the woods.You can still get lost in Paris after 12 years.

Even the ticket is a keeper.
