Travelled by train again, not stopping in Paris but continuing on to Versailles.
It was very crowded and we shuffled around the interior including the hall of mirrors at the prevailing speed. Totally over the top expression of wealth at the time, no wonder there was a revolution.
We left there and caught a train back in to Paris to visit the Musee d'Arte Moderne again. This didn't go terribly well as they were closing the permanent collection early to allow for the award of the Marcel Duchamps prize for art at 7 in the evening. We didn't get to see the exhibitions of works by the four nominees therefore and have no idea who won, but we did get into the exhibition of work by Simone Fattal, a Lebanese artist who has lived in Paris and the USA. Chunky sculpture referencing Babylonian legends and abstract painitings.
