Well folks, another great day. Got up, had a great breakfast, walked to the Musee D'Orsey. This is an impressionist museum and to my tastes topped the Louvre. It is in an old train station and has more art that I recognized than I have ever seen in one place - Monet, Van Gogh, Manet, Degas etc. It was gorgeous. (I don't know art but I know what I like) Then had a lovely supper at the museum, part of it used to be the railway hotel and we ate in a ballroom. We then finished the museum and walked toward the Eiffel Tower. Along the way we came across an open air market that was magical. It was dusk, the lights had just come on and included christmas lights. This was a real market fruit, cheese, meat etc (as opposed to junk) and it was filled with families buying supper. After wandering there, we made our way to the tower which was covered in fog up top so, because of that and the crowds, we decided to go up another day. Kept on walking (man are there ever a lot of hawkers at the tower) along the river and ended up back on the champs d'elysee. One of the things my beloved is interested in is fashion and quite by accident we ended up walking up the street with Chanel, Gucci, Dior and all the other major designers. These are stores that we wouldn't even be able to enter much less buy anything at but they were sure impressive. Had some supper, checked out the Citroen Showroom and Maserati and headed home on the Metro for tea. Again, feet are sore but what a great city.
