Paris

Today after breakfast we caught the metro to Tuilleries and walked ( my error) the wrong way! to get to Musee d'Orangerie. It was a humid day, sunny and later cloudy with a little rain around 4 pm.The highlight of this museum were Monet's paintings of water lilies. We took lots of photos and we bought a book of them. Also we saw many other artists' works, including Cèzanne,Matisse/ Picasso. Less known to me : Modigliani / Derain/Laurencin. We then went into the gardens and ate our chips and apples and fed little birds. It was rather warm now. We then walked to the Notre Dame cathedral via Pont Neuf. Only taking photos from outside we then walked into the Marais area to see what it was like. On our way we walked through the gardens of the Archives building. Finally found a metro station and 1 stop only returned to Bastille and to our accommodation.Read more
