It is truly impossible to describe the feeling(s) one experiences when you come so close to the famous masterpieces housed in these two museums. It is simply overwhelming. Equally as fascinating to me is the opportunity to "people watch," and listen to words of others as equally overwhelmed as myself, in other languages!

The grand hall at the Orsay.
