The city centre is currently a maze of closed or temporary roads (sometimes even closed to pedestrians) while a large new shopping and residential centre is being developed.

Albert Dock is very difficult to reach at the present and the new main bus station is virtually out of use because most of the buses and passengers can't get there. You won't be seeing the river from the Pier Head because it is closed off for construction of a canal right in front of the landmark riverfront buildings, which also means that they cannot be seen in their proper perspective.

It's a shame but I'm posting this warning because too many people are raising false expectations of the 'experience' to be had wandering the city and to disappoint visitors' expectations is not clever.

The palace has just re-opened in Feb 2006 after extensive restoration. It is a wonderful collection of art; paintings and objects. Although not quite as stunning as Musee d'Orsay, it is the setting in such a light and airy building with such wonderful architecture that makes this an experince to surpass d'Orsay. Free admission although special exhibitions (which occupy around 10% of the site) will be charged.

After many years of visiting Paris I would rate the Petit Palace as the place I would most wish to return to.

This is going to be one of the most popular places to visit in Paris so go there now before the news gets around and the queues form.
