Today we toured Musee d'Orsay. We saw lots of sculpture, which I enjoyed because I've been doing a little sculpting myself. Sort of. Y'know... vent figure facial features. (Okay... not the same thing).
We also saw many famous paintings by Van Gogh, Cezanne, Degas, Carrierre, Monet, Pisarro and more I can't even name. The Musee d'Orsay is housed in a
beautiful 19th century train station that was saved from demolition in 1973. It's a spectacular venue for art and sculpture. And people-watching is just as entertaining.
Lunch was in the elegant Musee d'Orsay restaurant. The ornate ceiling and chandeliers were magnificent.The Eiffel Tower adventure has been postponed for a day or so. Maybe tomorrow.
