The Musee d'Orsay (Orsay Museum) is another great museum in Paris. The Musee d'Orsay was built in 1900 for the Paris Universal Exhibition at the old d'Orsay Train Station on the left bank of the river Seine. The river Seine splits the heart of the city in two. The Left Riverside sits to the south of the river, the Right Riverside to the north. Several bridges link both river banks and the "Ile de la Cite" and the "ile Saint-Louis", the two islands in the town center. You can find nice restaurants on the river and you may have a romantic sun set over the river Seine.
