L'Orangerie is best appreciated when you take someone there for the first time. We know this because my brother, Simon, took us to this small museum in 1992 - not telling us anything prior to our visit! We live with the magic of our encounter with Monet's water lilies every day now.....only enhanced when - like today - we bring our friend, Bronwyn, to enjoy this extraordinary delight. Jim says it is like.."seeing water lilies in a dream and you know it is not a dream...." something like that.
