Finally in Paris. After a long but comfortable TGV ride from Milano to Paris, I went to the Laundry to smell fresh for my remaining days in Europe. The next day I started
in my favourite museum, the Musée D'Orsay, which features entirely French art from 1848 to 1915. If you want modern art, go to the Pompidou Centre museum,
but I'm thinking you really don't. After D'Orsay, it was off to the gothic Saint Denis Basilica, where every French King or Queen has now been buried, and then to the
Moulin Rouge to book my educational experience for later in the trip. |
