THE ART
"The Louvre is the book in which we learn to read"
-as told to a young artist by Paul Cezanne
Musee du Luxembourg
While we opted not to visit the Louvre this trip, we were lucky to find a temporary Cezanne exhibit at the Musee du Luxembourg chronicling the artist's time in Paris.

No photography allowed so we picked up the catalog of the exhibit
Musee de l'Orangerie
Another intimate museum within a garden is the Musee de l'Orangerie, located on the edge of the Tuileries overlooking the Place de la Concorde. Filled with impressionist masterpieces.
Renoir
Musee Rodin
Auguste Rodin's work is displayed in both the Hotel Biron and the surrounding gardens. The exhibit also contains some paintings from his personal collection, including Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh.

Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature
The Museum of Hunting and Nature, located within the Marais, was a serendipitous surprise! Was not aware of it until a few days into our trip and while it was a departure from the artists mentioned above it was a whimsical treat, one of our favorite stops. Besides, I knew my escort would love the guns and dead animals.
I was equally enthralled by the dog and sporting paintings. Stunning.
SKETCHING
Filled with daydreams of plein-air painting in Paris, I was only able to steal a few minutes to doodle. Until next time!
