On our last day in Paris we wanted to visit the Musee d'Orsay. We took the RER to the museum station, but when we got above ground we were directly in a mass of people with big flags and signs right in front of the museum. Apparently it was a demo of some sort and the museum was closed due to it. We fought our way through a row of police men in riot gear and the stalled traffic to the sidewalk along the Seine. We crossed a bridge with many signed locks along the bannister and deciced to join what was left of our time in Paris in the Jardin des Tuileries, sitting in the sun and reading and talking along with many tired tourists and Parians of break or students getting out of school for the day. After a picnic lunch we made our way to the Gare du Nord to catch our train back to Germany.
