Paris - Day 4

Day 4: Opera National de Paris and The Musee D'Orsay
(weather: 2° to 3° C with light rain and snow)


On this day we visited the oft-under construction Opera House and the Musee D'Orsay for some French Impressionist action.  No pictures were allowed inside of the Musee D'Orsay, so you'll have to go check it out for yourselves (it is pretty awesome).  We liked the Opera House so much that we went back that night to see an actual opera, The Bartered Bride.  Our seats were very expensive and did not have an obstructed view, we promise.
