The weather was cold and gloomy during much of our Paris weekend trip but since we were there primarily to see the Orsay Museum (and for the Blogger luncheon), we didn’t mind. We spent the entire day in the Museum, taking our time to see every exhibit. This is the first of two videos I took at the Orsay (or Musee d’Orsay). We ate lunch at the museum restaurant which gave us the option of a Menu. A Menu in France is a combination plate which gives you several choices depending on what you want to spend. Usually, a menu gives you three options: a choice of appetizer, main dish and dessert; or just an appetizer and main dish; or a main dish and a dessert. With my sweet tooth I tend to go with a main dish and dessert. Anyway, the Orsay restaurant Menu ran around 18 euros which is alittle on the expensive side for lunch but not terrible, and it gave us the leisurely look in the museum we wanted. Plus we had the pleasure of the beauty of the decorated restaurant hall with muraled ceilings and statues. So consider this an option if you’d like to see all the exhibits at the museum which can’t be done in just a morning or afternoon (unless you have your running shoes on).

The music is perfect to show the wonders of Musee d’Orsay.
