Something new today--a visit to the Musée d'Orsay. It was opened in 1986 in the former Orsay railroad station and holds the largest collection on Impressionist and post-Impressionist art from painters such as Degas, Renoir, and van Gogh. Hint: there's a discount if you book tickets at 6:30 pm or later.
"Juene Elephant Pris au Piege" (Young Elephant Caught in a Trap), by Emmanuel Fremiet
