Mrs Janet Moran Hello, Just back from Paris and wanted to say I sneakily LOVED looking at the reaction of horror on my family's faces as we saw the queues outside the Musee d'Orsay as we arrived on Sunday - only for me to brandish pre-booked tickets for us to glide straight through at Door C!! Thank you for making me seem like an administrative heroine!!
