Slow day today. We had booked haircuts so walked up the road to the salon. Good job all round, then coffee and a meander in the main street of Maisons-Lafitte. Back to camp - vehicle checks and interneting.

Set off late but arrived OK at the Musée de l'Orangerie. Set in a corner of the Tuileries Garden. All that remains of the original Palais de Tuileries. Interesting building - concrete block construction INSIDE the original old palace building. Lots of natural light, unlike some galleries we have been to. Collection of impressionist paintings by Renoir, Matisse, Derain, Rousseau, Cezanne, and Marie Laurencin. Upstairs, 2 large oval rooms, purpose built in 1927, with 4 masterpieces per room of Monet's Decorations de Nymphéas murals (water lilies) Each mural totalled about 80 metres in the 4 murals. Painted at Giverny on easels on wheels and moved to Paris! All well worth the visit.

Sat on the side of one of the lakes in the gardens, enjoying our last views of Paris. Worth another visit. Overall, people very helpful and friendly, except the "Calvados lady". So lucky we mainly dodged the rain, too.

Home to camp. Set off for the WW1 battlefields tomorrow. Only 3 more days for Rob and Rob.
