Republic Square
It's a site to be seen, beautifully lit at night, can be seen from far away and has beautiful water falls upclose. It is also nice to sit and have a coffee there and hear the clock ring every 15 minutes.
There are several important buildings here, hotel, government and the National Art Gallery, which is where I went today. In addition to its permanent collection of European, Russian and Armenian art, it hosted part of the Armenia-France exchange with many French-Armenian painters (Jansem, Carzou notably) represented. It also had in a room by itself, a painting of Napolean by JM Gros, on loan from the Louvre museum, along with a cutting of his curly bang (!)
The Gallery has several floors and is worth a half day visit.
Tomorrow afternoon, I am meeting more writers.
