The Internet has not been readily available here, so now on our last night I will give you a quick rundown of what wehave been doing. Hopefully I will actually be able to expand on this soon!
Sunday - Les Invalides - a government-run institution/ that also has a chapel and museum. Napoleon is buried here. Apparently his dog and horse are also stuffed and on display, but I unfortunately missed that! The Rodin Museum - Rodin works and some of his private collection.
Monday - Day trip to the cathedral at Chartres
Tuesday - Day trip to the palace at Versailles. The palace was huge and beautiful, but the grounds were amazing! We rented bikes and rode around.
Wednesday - Museè d'Orsay - lots of Impressionist work, more recent art (think VanGogh and Monet) tiring but fun
Today - Notre Dame and the Louvre - yep, two big ones in a day!! Saw Mona Lisa, the Nike, tons of other stuff, prayed in Notre Dame, and still got to shop on the Champs-Elysse;
Whew! Tomorrow we go to the Picasso museum and the catacombs then take the night train to Germany. Long week. My time is up; I'll write more later!
