Our main mission is to renew our Musee d'Orsay pass. Planned to be a quick in and out overnight trip but in the end we went mad and booked two nights. New hotel in the 6th arrondissement not far from our own very lovely 5th. Arrive late afternoon, drop bags, then a stroll and a drink.Read more
Running late. Coffee and croissant. Metro to Tuileries for the Orangerie. Long queue, possibly for the Modigliani. Flash our out of date pass which helps move us up a few places. Through security- so slow. Now stuck behind old lady who is renewing her pass in slow motion. And then paying by cheque. We finally get where we want to be but it takes a looong time. Painful.Read more
Bob heads to the Luxembourg Gallery for the Gertrude Stein exhibition. I'm not going so I stay at the Orangerie for a wander around. Pop into the Modigliani exhibition (quite busy). Not one of my faves - still quite interesting though. Have a stroll along the Rue de Rivoli spot the Paris Olympics mascot. Head to Metro to meet Bob for lunch.Read more
