Favorite thing: Beeing two times in Paris, to my shame I had no time to visit Louvre,but,thanks God!I've spent half of the day in musee d'Orsay - real treasure for those ho like paintings. Here you can see paintings that dozen times 've seen on the cards or books :Mane,Dega,Van Gog, Renuar,Gogen. Museum works 9:00-21:45.Ticket near 10$.62,rue de Lille. Very difficult it was to keep from making photos, but the flash is prohibited here.
Fondest memory: Hope you are not a lazy traveller and like long walks on feet,but if you become tired,don't worry!Paris has well developped metro system and tha train will bring you quickly anywhere.

Favorite thing: Visit the museums..atleast Louvre and Orsay. Even if you are not very artistically inclined..a visit to these museums will definitely bring out the connoisseur in you. The picture on the left shows one of the sculptures in orsay..amazingly life like.

Favorite thing: You absolutely must visit the Musee D'Orsay, Paris' impressionist Museum on the left bank.
It's quite overwhelming.
Fondest memory: Buying a baguette early in the morning form a typical baker and taking back for breakfast.

Favorite thing: Musee d'Orsay,I don't know why that the clerk didn't ask me to buy a ticket and let me enter the Musse d'Orsay.
Fondest memory: The carved statues are so delicate.

Favorite thing: Visit the Orsay Museum!
A former railway station, this is a great museum with a collection that ranges from 1848 to our days. Along with the Louvre, it's a definitive must see!
