Paris, Je t'aime Part 2

And so my story continues.
On Sunday, we slept late.  
LATE!!!  
9 a.m.!!!!  
It's a miracle and the Catholic Church should be alerted immediately to chronicle this event!

After a huge breakfast (what's wrong with us that we like to stuff our faces when the food is free??  I never eat 3 portions for breakfast!!!), it was Champs Elysees Clemenceau's metro station and a walk across one of the bridges (I've forgotten which one) towards the Grand Palais and Petit Palais.  
It was Petit Palais we visited, mostly because we love the art there and best of all, it is FREE.  



They also have a great cafetaria and clean WCs, always a bonus.

Here is an impression of some of the art:


A real Monet! 




 My favourite:  Fernand Pelez's Les Saltimbanques,
and


Morot's Good Samaritan

Afterwards, we had good cappuccino and espresso under the museum's colonades.


Rest, calm, happiness.



Then a long walk in the rain along the Seine, towards the Eiffel Tower where my camera's battery finally surrendered.  
We went back to the hotel.
Checked out.
Got in the car and drove home.

Sigh.  
I can only sigh.

Visit Paris.
Save all your money and GO.
It's worth it.
Really!
