Day Two.. Musee D'Orsay, Champs-Elysee, Arc de Triomphe and Batman!

Today we visited the famous Musee D’Orsay located in the center of Paris. The museum is home to several famous works of art including paintings by Van Gogh, Monet, Tissot, Cézanne, Renoir, Manet, Degas and many more. After the museum, we walked to the Champs-Elysee where students enjoyed free time and had the opportunity to walk up the Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon to honor those lost in the French Revolutionary War. After a wonderful group dinner, we made out way to the movie theatre and watched "The Dark Knight Rises".. Then off to bed for a good-nights sleep before Versailles tomorrow!
