Musee d'Orsay and Organ Recitals

On another sunny and warm day, I returned to the Musee d'Orsay to view the galleries which I hadn't time to see before, especially more Impressionists and Neo and Post Impressionists, and also to go outside on the terrace looking across the Seine to the Olympic balloon and the Louvre. One gallery had early examples of "Look at the Camera" including Charlie Chaplin as The Kid.
I went to St Germain Des Pres and then to St Sulpice for the 16.00 recital by Daniel Roth on the Cavaille-Coll organ. The church also has three murals by Delacroix.
After a quick dash to the Metro, I managed to get to St Eustache for the 17.00 organ recital.
The restaurant at Front Populaire was closed for a national religious holiday so I went to Le Comptor de la Gastronomie on Rue Montmartre for an alfreso dinner of onion soup, cassoulet, and strawberries. The restaurant was near Les Halles which has been redeveloped into an underground Westfield Shopping Centre.Baca lagi
