Day 19 - Tues 28 Sept - Paris






After a sleep-in and a leisurely breakfast in the hotel's lovely dining room overlooking an old style courtyard of sandstone and green creeping plants, we bussed it to Musee D'Orsay arriving at 12:00pm.  We experienced our first queue and took about an hour to enter.  The Musee is a magnificent old building modernised and well laid out for all types of art exhibitions.  Although containing a large number of people we were able to move about more freely and see all exhibits.  Sandra saw her impressionist art of Monet and Degas.  While on the western side of Paris we walked the full length and back of the Avenue Des Champs Elysses.  We finished off the day with french scones and coffee in a lovely cafe in the covered arcade "Galarie Vivienne" we had discovered on Sunday.  Although to balance our fine dining, we had Italian pizza and Bourdeaux wine for dinner.  Last day in Paris tomorrow and are feeling like we need a holiday!  Will have a restful day.
