First stop was Musee Rodin to see some sights that Pauline had read about in a Louise Penny book series. When we had arrived at the museum, we found a cute cafe right across the street where we could have lunch. Ohhhhh, that’s what vegetables look like!
After lunch, we entered the museum. You already know my skills for appreciating beautiful art are non-existent, so I mostly focused on the gardens and taking pictures of pretty flowers! I did take a few pictures of Rodin art, and I’ll put all of them below. It was a gorgeous building with a sprawling garden area. Spring is here! Also, my favorite sound is that of gravel under my feet, and they had a lot of it there, so I did a fair amount of walking.
Here I had a moment of, “pinch me, I’m in Paris!”
From there we thought we were going to the Musee d’Orsay, while first walking through the neighborhood on which Pauline’s book series was based. We admired the views along the way…
But the line to get in to that museum was suuuuuper long. So we opted to cross the river…
where we found the Jardín des Tuileries…
And the Place de la Concorde…
The Champs-Elysées…
And Ken and I walked all the way to the Arc de Triomphe!
After the Arc, we took the metro back to the flat, where I may or may not have “rested my eyes” (that’s what my Papa always said when he was napping!). Then we headed out to find a spot for Pauline’s birthday dinner. Pizza hit the spot!
Now we’re back at the flat, resting up for another day tomorrow!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAULINE!
It was another banner day indeed!
