Ville Lumiere

11/12/2013 - Paris

Today I walked through the Jardin des Tuileries on the way to the Musee d'Orsay. The museum, a fantastic building with French art from the 19th century, would have been enough for the day. 

I kept going, and made it by the Bastille to visit Victor Hugo's home in the Place des Vosges. Past the Place des Vosges, I walked through the streets admiring the old buildings, the cafes, and especially the lights. Paris is the City of Lights (Ville Lumiere), and nowhere else looks like it.
