L'Orangerie and other photos

This is a photo of my apartment in Les Gobelins. It is very comfortable and the Metro is not far from here, about a 5 minute walk.
















These are the Tuilleries gardens. They are very popular and contain a number of sculptures: modern works but also including ones by Henry Moore. The gardens are between The Louvres and L'Orangerie.









Here in the L'Orangerie is one of the water lily paintings by Monet. There are two rooms and each has 5 paintings this size. They are of the pond at Giverney that you saw in a previous post.
In other rooms you can see works by Cezanne, Manet, Pisarro, Sisley and other impressionist painters.






Another view of the Tuilleries gardens.












Here is a reflected view of the pyramid structure outside of The Louvre. It's a great place to relax after all of the walking inside. The old and the new work really well together.
