Paris, France - Nuit Blanche Seat Location

The event "Nuit Blanche" is literally "White Night" but is known locally as "Sleepless Night".  The free event makes use of traditional and non-traditional art venues.  More info is here.

We went to Rue du Rivoli to see the parade.  The parade will be in three posts.  The first (this one) shows where we were able to find a place to sit and the next two will show the parade...although I can't explain what everything actually meant.  It was a fun event.

We sat on the wall on the "Hotel de Ville" corner, across the street from Bazaar de L'Hotel de Ville (a department store).  The building was lit in blue when the parade started.
