Paris: the last hurrah before Avoir
Ah, the power of Monet. Here I am in the grassy park near the Musee Marmottan. The museum has an astonishing collection of Monet's works. A lot of the later pieces reside here including some of the weeping willows and the Japanese bridge pieces. Having seen the original in Giverny these meant just that much more. They are displayed downstairs in what is now a gallery in art historian Paul Marottan's beautiful home in Paris. The work was so amazing and powerful it was like eating or drinking too much. We literally were ill afterwards. We had to get a bottle of Perrier and share it and come back to earth. Wow, what an experience....there are so many amazing museums in Paris. We also visited the Cluny aka, the museum of the middle ages, which has the Unicorn tapestries on display. How stunning in person, after seeing their picture so many times to see them was like coming home.
