What a treat! An extra day in Paris. We left Germany and blazed to the airport to return the rental car, having added an extra night to our hotel. Isis Hotel in the CDG airport. Nice enough, midrange place, but poorly staffed for the crowds they had.
So we had seen previous ads about the Van Gogh exhibit at the Musee d'Orsay and Richard had said how lovely the gardens were at the Musee Rodin. We combined both in our final day.
With "The Thinker" as the only Rodin scultpure that I was familiar with, I was unsure what to expect at the Musee Rodin. But the grounds of the former hotel were delectable and the outdoor gardens were awesome. And it was perfect that there were impessionist art works including Van Gogh, as well, but it was the outdoor sculpture garden that made this a delightful stop.
The Musee d'Orsay was a wonderful gallery of Van Gogh as well as other Impressionist artists, and I loved the "train station" setting. All in all it was a wonderfully decandent art day.
