Paris. December, 2005

This is Paris Week here on SLS. Allons. If you’re racing to catch your train to Orleans or Blois or Tours, better make sure you know which station to run to. Because the Gare d’Orsay, the main station to handle these journeys, was shut down ages ago, and ages after that turned into the beautiful Musée d’Orsay, which opened in 1986. So instead of a conductor asking for your ticket, you’ll have the plaisir of encountering Manet’s Olympia, Millet’s Gleaners and several of Cezanne’s Bathers. Even Whistler’s Mother, a trip in itself.
