They were much more liberal with pic-taking in Paris. Flash off, of course. We'd been to most of the "biggies" in Paris, but never the Orangerie. We passed our favorite Jefferson in Paris statue, tripped up the dusty path in the Tuileries, escaped Gollum with his ring, felt compassion for the owner of the pink phone leaning on its PopSocket, entered the oval fish bowls (Infinitiy has two rooms) and swam with the lilies along with everyone else. Wonderful! *

Paid 3 euros to take a peek. No pics in Spain (unless you sneak). Wish I had it to myself, but that's the modern world. ME x 30 or more. Still it was something I'll never forget. Not to mention the whole old town done up for Corpus Christi. Fantastic! [From Wikipedia]
