One more museum!

Walked to the Pompidou Center this morning to take in the 6th story view of the city.    The Pompidou does look weird with its modern architecture, but the art collection is great.     Escalators are in "tubes" on outside of the building.    Jackson pollack, Andy Warhol, and more.  Time to say goodbye to this wonderful apartment and city

Muse de l'orangerie and d'orsay

I wanted to see monet's large water lily panels, so we walked to musee de l'orangerie at one end of the Tuileries.   L'orangerie also houses some cezanne ,Picasso ,Matisse .  It is Paul Guillaume's collection.    It was starting to rain for the first time this week so I got to use my umbrella while waiting in line at the d'Orsay.   I hadn't seen everything the first time through.   Visited the impressionist exhibit .  Walking sure stirs up the appetite!    More French food and wine!

The Paris flea market

UEvery weekend for one hundred years!   But, no photos!   So I'm at the entrance to one of twelve galleries.   The architectural salvage was my favorite. I found a green ceramic fireplace mantel perfect for my house.   There's everything from impressionist paintings to Eiffel Tower key chains

Dinner at le Boui Boui

No baguette and cheese tonight!  Plat du poisson, chocolat caramel

ITook the train north of Paris to chateau chantilly.  It's last resident the duke of aumale created the museum to house his art collection. He was also a horse lover and built magnificent stables which now house the chantilly horse museum .  this is the stables!

Strolling Paris

The E Dehillerin kitchen store is just a few blocks away.  If they don't have it, it doesn't exist!  Check out their website .  the Paris shopping arcades were made by enclosing 2 buildings with glass rooftops.   Great bookstores, specialty shops and of course bistros
