Musée d’Orsay

There was a line for the admission, but with the magic passport. I could actually enter the museum right away, skipping the line. I just to wave my passport for the guards in the front.

Why is the museum looking so weird from the inside? That’s because this place was built as a train station in the past, but then it was remodeled as a museum.

Of course I need to take advantage of my passport and use it for other museum admission.

Arc De Triomphe 

I thought I could make it to here before it closed but I was dead wrong. I took the wrong direction of the train and had to walk to another side of the platform. I missed the last admission :'( I will be back tomorrow!
