Slept in Sunday morning and checked out of hotel.

We planned on our last few ours in Paris at the Orsay and Orangerie art galleries. Where the Louvre has older artwork these two pick up over the past couple of hundred years.

They each had fabulous collections of Monet’s, Van Gough’s, Picasso’s, etc. and were enjoyable to see. It rained much of our last afternoon in Paris so we simply donned our rain gear and walked in the rain.

As we made our way back down to the Louvre we came upon the final laps of this year’s Tour De France.  The last days they get closer and closer to Paris and start making their way down the most famous streets.  That’s what they were in the process of doing that afternoon so we saw them pass by several times.

Orsay Museum was previously an old train station.

Neat restaurant in Orsay Museum. Note the huge clock faces you can see out from.

Late that afternoon we made our way back to the hotel to pick up our bags and then over to Gare Du Nord to catch the Eurostar to London.  On this high-speed train that goes under the Chunnel you go from the middle of Paris to the middle of London in 2.5 hours.  The very next night Chunnel authorities started having serious issues with immigrants jumping the fence and trying to hop on passing trains and trucks to gain entry into Great Britain. It has since become a real messy situation.  Glad we were able to avoid that.

By 8 or so that evening we were back at King’s Cross in London.  We stopped at a nearby pub for one last fish and chips dinner then caught the tube for Heathrow and the flight back home Monday afternoon.

Arrived at Heathrow Marriott around 11 or so that evening.
