Musse de Orsay and Arch of Triumph

Inside of Musse de Orsay

Cool Art Nouveau Door Way


Arch of Triumph. They say if you don't come here, you haven't been to Paris


View from arch. Can you see picture frame building?


Me on top of the arch.

Today as a group we walked the the Eiffel Tower and did some sketches. We then went to the Mussee de Orsay. It is the art museum with paintings, statues, sculptures, photographs, furniture and more. It had this huge arched glass ceiling that was really cool. Then a group of us went to the arch de triumph (don't really know how to spell in in French). I think it was like 280 steps going up spiral staircases to get to the top, but it was way worth it! The view was fantastic. You could see the Eiffel Tower and just the view for miles and miles around. It was a windy and rainy day, but that is what Paris has been so far, so no suprises.
