Paris guidebook clock at Gare d Lyon?

It's actually at Musee d' Orsay, which is a former train station.

Fifth floor, Musee D’Orsay. When you look out, you can see Sacre Coeur.

Thanks, KD!

Go to the very back of the Musée d'Orsay upon entering and take the (somewhat hidden) escalators directly up to the fifth floor. The clock is there at the back of the building on the fifth floor.

And be prepared to get your pics in between the Instagrammers hogging the view.

People are usually pretty good at taking turns here but there are 'influencers' who try to set up camp and repeatedly pose and just generally make a nuisance of themselves. If this happens you may need to align with others waiting to make it clear to them that they are hogging the space and need to move on and one way to do it, is to get in the middle of their show.

Alas these boorish clods are found all over Paris with their silly outfits and dowdy friend with camera shooting pictures. We were at a concert at the Garnier recently and one woman in a red satin outfit was repeatedly descending the main staircase while her friend videotaped her --- many others of course wanted their pictures on that gorgeous staircase and oddly some people just wanted to be able to walk down and leave.

At Monet's house at Giverny which is generally quite crowded another had set up a tripod and was repeatedly filming herself gesturing and walking about in the house. And then later by the steps of the house with a dozen 'takes' of her coming down the stairs and giving a little speech.

I used to try to get out of the way for people taking photos but not with these doofuses.

I agree, Janet. Especially when they're covering the handrails for those of us who need to touch or hold it (I'm pretty young but have had surgeries on both knees and they're not great).
