Something I would really like to see. <BR/><BR/>Guess if I'm ever making the journey over - I'll get in touch with you and TBNIL and you two can give me some guided tours.<BR/><BR/>Sigh...........<BR/><BR/>(I'm sure TBNIL has some 'different' spots to see.)aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968347335729666539.post-67515722691261958802008-10-02T15:09:00.000+01:002008-10-02T15:09:00.000+01:00Of all the things I saw in Paris, the Musee d'Orsa...Of all the things I saw in Paris, the Musee d'Orsay meant the most and stuck in my head the longest. It's so much more manageable than the Louvre, and the building itself is so charming. And there were so many rooms; it was like wondering around in a delightful maze. It's one of my favorite memories, and if I ever get another chance at Paris, it will be number one on my list.<BR/><BR/>(Number two will be the Sainte Chapelle, another awe-inspiring experience)<BR/><BR/>Ahhh, we Americans have the Grand Canyon, etc, but nothing man-made that is so inspiring.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194692997497027787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968347335729666539.post-5107816710909196052008-10-02T09:18:00.000+01:002008-10-02T09:18:00.000+01:00I love all of these things... especially the view ...I love all of these things... especially the view from the Sacre Coeur. Amazing. Great top three, Brett, all of them would be in my top ten.<BR/><BR/>If you fancy an alternative 3, my tips would be :<BR/><BR/>instead of the view from the Sacre Coeur, try the view from Georges - the brasserie on the top of the Pompidou centre.<BR/><BR/>instead of the queues at the Musee d'Orsay, try the smaller queues at the Orangerie - home of Monet's waterlilies.<BR/><BR/>and then instead of the Catacombes - head out to Pere Lachaise to see where the most famous Parisians are buried....travelling, but not in lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063643541653145954noreply@blogger.com
