Our final day was a treat. Two new exhibits opened that very day at the Musee Pinacotheque, one of Hiroshige prints and the other of van Gogh's works inspired by the prints of Hiroshige. We had hoped to attend but were worried that we would not be able to get in on opening day. Anne worked her magic and scored 4 tickets, so Anne, Jeanne and we had a wonderful final day in Paris.
See Tom in the mirror?
See Tom and me in the mirror?
The museum is not much to look at, being in two office buildings made over for exhibits on the inside, and of course, no photos allowed. But after Hiroshige, to strengthen ourselves for van Gogh, we stopped for lunch at Fauchon, the ultra-chic gourmet haven. We had a lovely lunch, shared a single magnificent dessert, and returned to the museum for the second half of the show.
Finally, we said good by to Jeanne and Anne, made our way back to the apartment for our last evening.
Our cab arrived 7:30 the next morning in the pouring rain. The sun was not up yet, but the sky was a deep purple, lightening to mauve. How very French!
Au revoir...a la prochaine... (Good bye....until the next time...)
