This is my last post since I’m heading home tomorrow. 

It was a big day, starting with the special Matisse exhibit at the Grand Palais. I love Impressionist art but Modern art, not so much. Afterwards, I walked down Av. Des Champs-Élysées to Place de la Concorde and continued through Jardin des Tuileries to the Louvre. I crossed the Seine and walked to the Jardin du Luxembourg, which is my favorite garden in Paris. Then, a quick stop at La Grande Épicerie de Paris, which truly defines the concept of a food shop. Next, lunch at Le Nemrod. I love a Croque Madame and their’s is very good. Ending this epic trip was a bus ride back to the quartier.
