Jardin des Plantes and Musée D'Orsay

My first full day in Paris began with a trip to the Jardin des Plantes. If you don't share my enthusiasm for gardens, scroll past the next set of pictures.



I then made my way to the Musée d'Orsay along the left bank of the Seine.
This is not a large life raft, but the Arab World Institute.




The Seine.











Notre Dame. Note the locks attached to the bridge in the foreground. The custom is for couples to attach the lock to the fence and throw away the key, signifying a love that will last forever.

Which way to the Eiffel tower?


Musée d'Orsay. The next few pictures are from the top of the Musée d'Orsay looking north across the river.
