Musée d'Orsay...

We had a day off from the Olympics last week so we thought we'd go and take in a bit of culture. Innit.
 
Housed in Paris's glitzy former Gare d'Orsay, the Musée d'Orsay sure has some big hitters - one masterpiece after another.
 
The place is a French museum of the Fine-Arts devoted to the period ranging from 1848 to 1914 - containing the largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world; Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin, and van Gogh. 
 
Stuart and I were dizzy with French delights.
