On Thursday, we went on an excursion to Musée d’Orsay and admired the many artistic displays that the exhibits had to offer. We started on the upper-level floors, which emphasized works from the (post)impressionism era. Everyone took pictures of paintings from Degas, Pissarro, Rousseau, and Van Gogh like the tourists we were. The middle-level floors focused on the themes of naturalism and symbolism, which were clearly found in artists like Gaudi and Bernard. Collections of pre-impressionism were proudly displayed on the ground floor, featuring Monet, Renoir, etc. Because the museum was so huge, we were not able to see all of the works of art in one sitting, but we hope to return again soon. 🖼
Later that night, we went shopping at the local Monoprix. We all craved soft-serve ice cream, so we also stopped by the nearest McDonald’s and grabbed cones for just one euro! Since everything in Paris was pricy, we were glad to find something on a menu that college students could afford. Plus, the McDonald’s restaurant was really clean and had a bodyguard protecting the entrance: how legit is that!?! 🍦
WHAT?!? a bodyguard? seriously? wow. that's interesting... lol.
