Musee D'Orsay
I spent the morning in the flat, working. It was okay because it was raining outside. In the early afternoon (around 12:30pm), we walked to the Musee D'Orsay. There was already a line, but Carol has a membership, so I was able to at least get to the ticket office without waiting in line.

Monet and the Sun King
... Monet allegedly picked such an out of the way spot when he saw the property advertised for sale as his train went past. As we had an organised tour we were able to avoid having to queue to get in and went straight to the entry to the gardens. Their are two principle garden areas - the lilies water garden which is Japanese inspired, and a flower garden called Clos Normand which is right next to the Monet homestead. All are ...
