• 1st day in Paris

    May 24, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Flew 14 hours overnight to land in Paris Wed morning about 7.30. Got to the hotel, L'Hotel du Collectionneur, by about 10.30. The lady who picked us up for our hotel transfer told us about a gallery near the hotel, the Musee Jacquemart-Andre. Seems that about 1913, a bloke with lots of money decided to buy major artworks and build a house to hold them. The works include some from Gris, Gaugauin, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso and others. The whole place is amazing. We walked there and also had a scrumptious lunch in its little cafe.
    Having a little time left before our 6.00 pm meet and greet drinks, we walked to the Arch de Triomphe. After the drinks we asked the concierge to recommend and book us a restaurant. It was about a 20 minute walk with a beautiful meal of Rockling.
    Tomorrow morning it's the Eiffel Tower and at night it's the Moulin Rouge.
