Went to the Musee d'Orsee yesterday, absolutely GORGEOUS place. Built in an old train station, a station that's very much the style of DC's Union Station, but then some. Lots of statues, impressionist paintings, photos, just overwhelming. It's a must-see if you come to Paris, I hadn't seen it before. Bring your camera.
This the main view of the center part of the museum.
The museum has these massive clocks, in this one you can see Sacre Coeur in the background (Montmartre)
One of the many beautiful sculptures.
A store window, and reflection, in St.-Germain-des-Pres, on the way to the museum. The heads were in the window, the building is reflected.
