Musee D’Orsay and Latin Quarter

We started the day with the long awaited and wanted visit to the Musee D’Orsay. We entrusted the guiding duty to our old friend Rick Steve, but I found his tour of the museums highlights to be quite light. In addition, despite the timed entries, the museum was quite crowded, to the point that it was hard to enjoy the paintings. Finally, we didn’t love the fact that all the artists were mixed up together, while we felt that the likes of Monet and Renoir would be better off in separate rooms. So, after 1.5 hrs, we left a bit unsatisfied. We will just have to come back one day, hopefully off-season and with a regular audio guide. We then did a VoiceMap tour of Latin Quarter which was very nice. And we capped the evening with a milonga upstairs of a large restaurant La Cardinal. It was quite packed and tight (I guess crowded was the theme of the day) but we had a nice time dancing.Baca selengkapnya
