Musée d'Orsay

Friday's schedule was built around a visit to the Musée d'Orsay. Depending on one's interests, this is potentially the best museum visit in Paris. I say that because it is packed with wonderful art from the mid-nineteenth century until 1914. There are so many famous paintings and painters -- an embarrassment of riches.

We did a structured visit to certain paintings, then had time to wander the permanent and temporary exhibitions. After a group lunch in the cafe, the group dispersed to various museums across the city.

You will see from the photos that gorgeous weather had taken over, making us forget the relatively cold and wet conditions during the first few days we were in Paris.
