The Orsay Museum is not as famous as the crowded Louvre, but much more enjoyable. It’s in a beautiful former train station and holds a wonderful collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. We focused on Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh. There was much more to see. We’ll have to come back.
The weather is hot. Sitting outside at a cafe is too hot, with the sun beating down. Sitting inside is stifling, as the heat comes in the open doors. The worst is being in a laundromat, but then we couldn’t figure out how to use the combination washer/dryer in the apartment and we’re running out of clean clothes. So that’s where we were. Luckily, there was a great gelato place nearby.
