The Jeu de Paume is a Paris museum famous for once having hosted the greatest collection of French Impressionist art in the world. That collection is now part of the immense Musée d'Orsay, but the Jeu de Paume is still an active musuem located at the northwest corner of the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.
As if I needed to invent a reason to visit Paris, my favorite city, the current exhibition at the Jeu de Paume is a collection of 120 images by Lisette Model, a pioneer of the art of street photography. This exhibit will be on display through June 6, 2010. Admission to the Jeu de Paume is 7€. The museum is open every day except Monday, and hours are from 12 noon until 7 p.m. (9 p.m. on Tuesday).
Where to stay near the Jeu de Paume? Hotel de Crillon is just 0.2 km from the musuem and Le Meurice just slightly further - 0.4 km. For the best rates along with added-value amenities including complimentary full breakfast daily, upgrades, and even a free one-way airport transfer with three night stay, contact a Virtuoso travel consultant.
P.S. — Thanks to Chocolatine France, a Virtuoso onsite in France, for alerting me to this great opportunity.
