The Musee D’Orsay contains a powerhouse of art that is actually more impressive to me than the art in the Louvre. Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh, Gaugin, Cezanne. Amazing. This museum is well worth a visit when you are in Paris, across the river from the Jardin des Tuilleries and the Louvre. I bought a ticket to also see the Musee Orangerie, which I’ll go to on another day. The restaurant on Level 2 is awesome, set up in a stately mirrored room adorned with gilt and frescoes that would be at home in Versailles. You will be waited on attentively while you sit and absorb the amazing art your eyes have feasted on, and the food is really good. Outside is chaotic again today as the transport strike drags on, roads are blocked due to more expected protests, the police are out again in force, and pedestrians are looking fed up. It is hard to see how this will end as both sides have their heels firmly dug in, but it must be hard for the workers who are losing days of pay. Public opinion is mostly in favour of those on strike, with people saying what they are fighting for is important and they should continue. Tomorrow will be significant because the Government is expected to present the proposed reforms (all of this union action and the proposal isn’t even out yet!), so things will either flare up or calm down. I would prefer the latter.
