Since we got to the art museum too late yesterday we decided to go there first today. We get to the Musee de l’Orangerie and there is a long line waiting to get in the museum. They have 2 lines, one for people with tickets/passes and the long line we are in without tickets. They are only letting in people as others come out and, of course, the line with tickets goes first. Needless to say it took about 45 minutes for us to get inside the museum, then we were able to buy the tickets. At least we were inside as it was very windy and cool outside. This museum is an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist; Paul Cazanne, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet (one of my favorites), Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, and a few others.
The d’Orsay Museum is on strike so I’m sure that was one reason the lines were long at the Musee de l’Orangerie.
After the museum we took a break to rest from all the standing and walking. I’m looking over the map to see where we should go next
We decide to go to the Paris Chinese Area. We get on the subway and go to the end of the line Olympiades. As you come up from underground you can see the tall buildings of the Olympic Village of the 1975, 1987 World’s Fair.
As we move on down the street it becomes evident we are in the Chinese area. It is not so spectacular as San Francisco but we had fun walking around and we did have a nice meal at one of the many restaurants.
