That's the line we were in outside
After waiting in line for about 30 minutes, we made it inside, realized that there was no line at all for the automated ticket machine, and cruised up to the sixth floor to visit the Kandinsky and Calder exhibits.
Both exhibits were wonderful, we loved the wire sculptures and the circus that Calder had done, and the colours in Kandinsky's paintings were breathtaking.
We took a quick coffee break at a nearby boulangerie before wandering down the rue Montorgueil.
Saturday Mom and Deb were on their own, visiting the market at Edgar Quinet, doing some shopping, and walking through the Marais, the Tuileries and visiting the Orangerie. They then invited us over for a delicious market dinner at their fabulous apartment.
I met up with them Sunday afternoon on the Champs Elysee, where we braved the hot temperatures to climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. It was a beautiful, clear day, and we enjoyed the spectacular views of the city, and the many rooftop gardens that we could spot.
After freshening up, we met for dinner at Chez Janou. We stuffed ourselves with their generous portions, and enjoyed sampling some of their many pastis.
Today they are visiting the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Grand Palais, and I think tomorrow they will stop by the nursery school in the morning.
Hard to believe their visit is almost over!
