We woke early this
morning; a good thing because Jenny’s phone was down on volume and we didn’t
hear the alarm when it went off.
We had plenty of time to
pack, take the garbage down and get our bags downstairs to wait for the cab
from Bolt (Uber) to the train station luggage drop (in a backpacker hotel
opposite the station).We bought our ticket for the airport train so we wouldn’t
have to do it later and then caught the metro to the Musee d’Orsay. There was a
short queue of about 15 minutes, because of security. After being closed yesterday it was quite crowded but we really enjoyed the Renoir exhibition and
then the Impressionists on the 5th Floor. It’s changed a bit, with
there being no access to the outside rooftop walk anymore.
We loved our time there, about a couple of hours, and then went across the road to a café for lunch.

By the time we’d finished,
it was time to make our way back to pick up our bags and work our way to the
train, quite a feat with finding elevators (ascenseurs). We stood up for the
trip to Charles de Gaulle 2, about 25 minutes and soon found our way to the
Emirates check-in, which took quite a while. Even though we were 4 hours early,
the check-in was open and there was a bit of a queue. We were through security
and found our gate area before too long and settled at Maccas for some food to
keep us going until the flight (a snack and then breakfast on the plane).
So now a last walk through
the French shops before we leave Europe.
