If the thought of "doing the Louvre" intimidates you, then the
Musee d'Orsay is a must see when visiting Paris. The moment you walk in you realize that in its previous life, this museum was once a very fine train station! Reopened in 1986, its collection of Impressionist paintings is impressive as is the sculpture that amazingly is displayed in easy reach, but I wouldn't suggest "touching"! I took a break and had a lovely lunch at the gorgeous turn of the century restaurant. All in all, a great way to spend the day in Paris.
Oh I know you've seen this clock a zillion times ( in every picture frame in Target, right?) but I just had to take one more shot.
A scale model of Paris that you can actually walk on. It is fascinating to see the "aerial" view.
Yet another famous clock. Here you get the feel of its prior life as a train station.
Lunch with a view!
