Art at the Musee d'Orsay

To delve a little deeper into my Paris trip, The Musee d'Orsay is a wonderful place to lose yourself for the day.

Just around the corner from the museum is the restaurant, Le Telegraph, which boasts 'art nouveau' stained glass.

We had a lovely meal which started with smoked salmon

 Off to the museum to see the wonderful works of art!

More masters....

Berthe Morisot's 'Le Berceau'

Finally, an ode to 'food'

Monet's 'The lunch'

A Renoir classic

Dance at le Moulin de la Galette

Van Gogh's 'self portrait'

Given that the museum was originally a train station, it has a fabulous huge clock that is open to visitation

Ironically, you can see the Louvre from d'Orsay's balcony!

 If ever you are in Paris, the Musee D'Orsay is a perfect day's outing!
