We started off our day with the Musee D'Orsay. It is quite remarakable: if you like impressionists like Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Renoir, etc, then this is paradise. It's got the biggest collection in the world! We got the audio guides, but didn't even do all the rooms, and we still spent 4 hours. You can't take photos inside, so no pics to post here.
After that museum, we went across the river to the Orangerie, another museum, which is connected to Musee D'Orsay, but is smaller. It also has a great (but smaller) impressionist collection, but is most known for it's huge room with the wall size panels of Monet's waterlillies.
We needed a rest, so then went to Cafe Angelina, known for the best hot chocolate in Paris. It's hard to put it into words: all I can say is that it's as if a top quality chocolate bar was melted and you are drinking it :)
We rested up at the apartment after that, and went out to a neighbourhood bistro called "Cul de Poule", which was great!
