Paris museum gets a revamp

Anyone who is thinking of moving to France should consider heading to the capital, especially now a historic museum is set for a revamp.

Paris' famous Orsay Museum is being restored to its former glory in a bid to highlight the building's architectural delights.

It has long been a favourite with art-lovers and tourists and has held some of the world's most prestigious pieces including work by Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin and Claude Monet.

Formerly a railway station, the building was transformed 20 years ago into a stunning gallery for Parisians to enjoy and now the new plans look set to make it even better.
