After a stroll through the Sunday market underneath the Metro line outside our hotel, we headed off to the Orangerie (only fitting after all the fruit we saw at the Market!). Students saw the penultimate water lily series by Monet, two sets of four 360 degree murals. Then the Paul Guillaum collection of late 19th century, early 20th century work on the lower level. A beautiful day in Paris. Some went back to the Louvre in the afternoon, others to the Arc de Triomphe. A big concert event was held down by the Eiffel Tower tonight celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel. Rain moved in and dampened the festivities evidently. Tomorrow we visit the Pompidou Centre and the National Museum of Modern Art. It's a fabulous collection.
