Went on a day trip to Paris for Tony's birthday was fabulous day but very long we were up at 03:00 and not into bed until 01:00 so 22 hours awake
Louvre saw the Jan van Eyke The Virgin of Chancellor Ronin which is just amazing , the longer you look the more detail you see
Then onto the Musee D'Art Decoratifis which was fascinating until it got to the 1980s!
Lunch in our old haunt behind Rue d'Hyacinth with classic French surliness when asked for water which rather got thumped down
Stroll back through Tulleries to Orangerie then onto Musee D'Orsay which is my favourite the building is amazing and I love the collection
Whilst not the biggest Van Gough fan I adore his La nuit etoilee that they have
Coffe in the cafe as was starting to droop then back to Gard du Nord where we bought Champagne and Pringles for the journey home
Fabulous day :-)
