No bus today, all transport by Metro or on foot. We trek across town to visit the Mur Vegetal near the Musee du Quai Branly. This is a return visit for me to see this giant wall of plants covering the side of a building. It's been in place since '04 and looks like it's filling in nicely, much fuller than last year.
Next we keep walking, to the Parc Andre Citroen. Deja vu again to this site too. I didn't mind though since there's so much to see.
Too bad the water wasn't running again. Lots of water features, but not much water, and a large section cordoned off for work in progress...again with our trip curse of construction and no water. Oh well, the picnic made up for it. We stretched out on a patch of grass and enjoyed baguettes, fruit, veggies, cookies, olives and more. I should picnic more often. 
Musee d'Orsay was the final official stop of the day. Can't take pics in there though, and a large portion of their collection was not open for display. Again with our ongoing curse. It was nice to see some of Monet's works though - knowing that we had plans to go to his home in Giverny the next day.
Walk, walk, walk and see the city - Notre Dame, the Louvre, impressive gothic chapel Sainte Chapelle, and the Seine River. We cap off the day with a nice dinner outside under a rising moon. Oo la la.
