GB: Paris Day One: Photo Set 4

The first photo is of a building being renovated. If you look closely, you can see they covered part of the building with a tarp or something, but they painted the tarp to look like the front of the building. From where we were standing it was very hard to tell that it was a painting and not the actual front of the building.

Next, we have a few shots of a museum by the garden (musee l'orangerie) that solely houses eight of Monet's water lily paintings in two rooms. It was pretty tranquil and a fun stop.

The last photo is of the first room you go into. Monet designed this plain white vestibule area to be a place to decompress from being outside it Paris before entering the two rooms with the water lily paintings. We, of course, blew right through it on the way in, but then read about it in the pamphlet and took our time to I guess re-compress on the way out.
