Paris {Day Two}

4.16.2009

"Jardin des Tuileries"

On Wednesday morning, we visited the "Musee de l'Orangerie"... It's a small museum but it has two large oval rooms that house the eight panels of Monet's 'Waterlilies' (Which you can visit virtually online)... A huge and stunning work that took him over 30 years to complete...

Also at the "Musee de l'Orangerie", an original by Renoir

Eating lunch, overlooking the Eiffel Tower in the "Champs de Mars"

Yes Jess, we're actually there... 

"The Eiffel Tower"... We climbed all 688 steps with hundreds of other people around... And enjoyed the wonderful panoramic views of Paris... A lovely second day in this enchanting city!
