Musee D'Orsay part 2

Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art make up the bulk of the collection and that is what we came to see. Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Sisley and Van Gogh, amongst others, have their work displayed here. It is a wonderful representation of art from the second half of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century.

No photos allowed of the art of course, but I was able to take a photo of the original interior clock  and one through the exterior clock, with Sacre Coeur in the background, if you look closely.

Because we arrived at 4.30 on a Sunday, we had free entry, which meant we only had to queue for 10 minutes. Can't imagine what it would be like to visit Paris and London in the high tourist season.

On the way home we stopped for dinner at the Tres Honore Restaurant - pleasant ambience and delicious food.
