Today we woke up and were driven to the Biologique Recherche factory. They are a cosmetic company that specializes in facial care. I learned a lot about their company and how it works. They don't advertise at all and their growth has been over 100% since 2007.
Next we went to the Invention museum called Musee des Arts et Metiers and saw all the inventions that the French had created.

| Cray 2 |
This was a invention I remember reading about a few months back, and is a supercomputer that was the fastest in 1985. The laptop I am using is about ten times more powerful than this and I think it is really interesting to see how processing speeds have increased in just a few decades.

| The Statue of Liberty replica |
This is a scaled down replica of the Statue of Liberty that the French made for the United States for the centennial anniversary of the US. It is interesting to know that one of the major monuments and symbols of the United States was made in France
Afterwards we traveled to Musee D'Orsay which had a lot of art works from many famous authors. The first wing of the museum had a few morbid artworks of the end of the world and hell, but the remainder was regular classic paintings and sculptures.
Then I went into the museum across the street which was filled with medals and awards of the French. In English I think it was called the Legion of Honor, and the White House was modeled after it.

After the museum we went to eat at a nice restaurant and I have three portions of steak, a lot of bread and an excellent desert. It was a great way to end a great day.
