Every minute was perfectly spent. Our guide whisked us straight to the jewels of Impressionism and made them sound interesting. Grand buildings, famous works in the Orsay’s grand hall, all were bright and shining.

Our guide’s task was to strip it all off, stories behind the brush strokes of each Impressionist painting. It was also interesting to see what the original train station structure had been turned into.
