Great Impressions at "L'Orangerie".


Today (Monday 27th April) we again wandered to the Louvre area / Jardins de Tuileries as we planned to visit L'Orangerie ...


Some interesting art work along the way ... a bird in the hand.

Monsiuer Honey being "cheeky" ... "What another photo?"


The entrance / doorway to the building where we would very much like to live in Paris!

                     


           


Entering the Jardins de Tuileries...



At the Musee de L'Orangerie we wandered through Monet's "Water Lillies" ... What a wonderful sight!

The Musée de l'Orangerie Is an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings. 
It is most famous for the eight "Water Lillies" murals  by Claude Monet.
The vestibule was designed by Monet.

It also contains works by Cezanne, Matisse, Modigliani, Picasso, Renoir to name a few.





Our afternoon was spent strolling through some other areas of Paris ... lunch at a café on Rue Cler which was finished off by the most delicious "Tarte Citron".





               
                     

Les Invalides ...


Our walk back home took us along Blvd. St. Germaine and along the Seine ...
by the end of the day I had stepped 19,500 times covering 12.5 kilometres  






The decorated Hotel de Ville...

Tomorrow is our last day in Paris ... where will we venture to?
