I have yet to go, but soon my ticket will be bought to see a new show of Monet's! I believe there is a quote that says "once you see one Monet you've seen them all", which is partly true. His countless paintings of Japanese waterlillies and churches at all hours of the day, but in Paris I hope to see another side of the artist. A hope to see the real painting through my eyes and not just a reproduction.
I did once see the Monet waterlillies at the
Musee de l'Orangerie, and they were gorgeous.
The expo at the
Grand Palais, should be a box office hit with 160 screens all dedicated to Monet, and it includes the 2 hour wait in line. Plus, do not miss out because Grand Palais expos are not something to miss out, the last few years have been quite successful: Picasso and Renoir.
To get a real sight of the old Paris, and French life, take a 8-12 euro stroll, and it will be well worth it!
Now showing till January 24, 2011, and tickets can be bought at Carrefour, or FNAC in advance!
