Today started off with a visit to Place de la Concorde where I saw the Obelisk, the Jardin des Tuileries and the Musee de L’Orangerie. I almost skipped out on these, I would have been missing out on something really special. The museum was definitely worth the trip. It has just recently been reopened after a restoration. It holds panels of Monet’s water-lily series, known as the Nympheas. The museum also has the Walter-Guillaume Collection of impressionist art. I was so excited to see an original Modigliani. He is one of my favorite artists and I was grateful to see his artwork up close. Although the museum was busy, it was very peaceful.
