little walk in Paris.

Today I had a marvellous walk in the sun of France.
I started the walk by the musée d'Orsay. Its holds mainly French art dating from 1814 to 1914 especially a humagous collection of impressionist masterpieces by popular painters like Monet and Renoir.
This museum before was a railway station, and it was converted in 1986.
After the museum I crossed the main river of Paris la Seine and went to the "Jardin des tuileries" a garden. It is surrounded by the Louvre, the Seine, the Place de la concorde.
I had such a good time there looking at the kids playing with some boats in a little bassin.
From there I went to the Place de la Concorde, one of the major squares in Paris. The Place was designed as a moat-skirted between the Champs-Élysées (longest avenue in Paris with at the end Arc de Triomphe) to the west and the Tuileries Gardens to the east. Filled with statues and fountains, the area was namedh Place Louis XV to honor the then king.
Then I went the the Invalides, its a complex of buildings containing museums and monuments, all relating to France's military history, as well as a hospital and a retirement home forwar veterans, the building's original purpose. It is also the burial site for some of France's war heroes. It was very impressive, its golden dome was shinning in the sun.
Thus I on the way to the Champ de Mars ( where the Eiffel towar stands) I bought my baguette as a real french!

Talking about baguette my day was so long and I am starving.... baguette, cheese and wine are waiting for me!!

Talk to you soon,

Ciao
