Salut!
One of the two classes I'm taking this summer is Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. My favorite part about this class is that we go on one or two visits every week. Here are some pictures from a couple of our class trips...
L'Opéra Garnier
Yes, this is a library! I never knew they had libraries in opera houses...

Opera houses also house a lot of art...
...and statues.Les Tuileries et le Musée de l'Orangerie
For another visit, we took a stroll in the Tuileries gardens (which I think I've posted pictures of before), and then made our way to the Musee de l'Orangerie. There, several of Monet's famous Nympheas (Waterlillies) paintings are held, as well as a lot of other impressionist works...and even some modern ones, as you'll see.

Oh, you know, the Eiffel Tower just magically appears from time to time. Those are the moments I have to pinch myself and re-convince myself that I'm really living in this breathtaking city...
Les Nympheas...
...and Judy
some modern art that caught my eye...
The Parisian metro. What a trip.
if only everyone I encountered on the metro looked this cute and vibrant...
