Musee de l'Orangerie Paris

Paris is easily our favorite city that we have visited so far. There is something so relaxing and mellow and enjoyable about this place. Many people complain that Parisians are rude to Americans, but we found just the opposite to be true. This was the place we have felt most welcomed and comfortable since our arrival in Europe. Sara is already very …

Ok - to answer a few questions. No, I didn't get the bunny, I've been too busy with high culture, thank you. Besides I am not sure I can find the shop again. No, I didn't photograph either the vanilla slice, nor the patisserie shop. Yes, I did go for a prowl around the gift shop of the Louvre, and for such a big place, I expected a rather more …

Today was a day filled with art. First we went to L'Orangerie which is mostly Monet. It is such a calm and quiet place that you almost feel like you are in his gardens. After lunch we took the Louvre. We caught a peek of the Mona Lisa. (You just can't go there and not see that one.) We also looked at Greek sculpture. There was one that was …

Wow, Paris! You have surprised and delighted us on our return to you, from the first moments we arrived and parked in the underground garage near the apartment we are renting. We were definitely frazzled and a bit discombobulated, but the clerk at the parking garage offered us the use of his phone to call our rental agent. No dealing with payphones …

Premier voyage de l'année 2013 : trois jours à Paris fin Janvier, pour bien fêter la fin du premier semestre à l'université et pour mieux commencer le deuxième.

Nous avons pris l'Eurostar à Londres en fin de journée (nous = mon copain et moi). Nous avions trouvé l'hotel par hasard sur internet et avions réservé en espérant que les photos …

Today just about took us out! We got back to the apartment at 12:30a. Yikes! First, and most importantly, we missed a day of ice cream/gelato the other day. Crazy, I know! So, today, we had to make up for it by having ice cream twice. After trying to order ice cream in French (I don't speak French, but Bryn is tutoring me) and then …

Today was our big expedition day, we had decided we would go to Giverny gardens with Giverny. The last thing on my to do list was to go to the Musee de l’Orangerie, the home of Monet’s Water Lilies. The girls didn’t really have any interest in seeing this one so I decided I would bust it at before 9am and go as soon as it opened. …

We set off from camp and did a big shop to stock up on food before arriving in Paris. We had looked up directions from Google Maps and checked the route on our GPS just to make sure we wouldn't get lost heading in. However, we would have been better off just planning the route ourselves! Both directions said to get off at a particular exit which …

After a hearty breakfast of cheese omelets and fresh OJ sitting at one of the outdoor tables at Cafe du Marche, we hiked a bit to catch Bus #69. We got to the bus stop and were examining the map when a little old French lady came up and proceeded to tell us we were going in the wrong direction for Musee -- in rapid-fire French. We caught a few …

We arrived in Paris in the evening and headed straight
out into the city! Seeing the sites at night had been recommended by many
so straight up to the Arc de Triomphe via the Champs-Elysées, which was adorned with an enourmous French flag due to the French presidential elections the previous weekend. The usual traffic nightmare circling …
