... the way. I ended up at the St. Michel fountain, where I actually ran into one of my friends and we decided to have dinner together. We went to Bercy, which is the section of Paris renowned for its wine. It was a cute little street, complete with cobblestones, and the meal was absolutely delicious. Thursday- This was my last 6-hour day of class and my friends and I wanted to celebrate afterwards. We went to this fondu restaurant near Montmartre where they ...

... in their museums were strictly no photography. Jobs I Now Have New Found Respect For the People Who Perform Them: - the person who puts together broken greek vases. I played with this little magnetic one in the Scottish musuem, and I had the possibility of cheating, and a duplicate to work off it. Also, it was made for a child. I still struggled. - the person who looks at Greek statues and goes "yup, that's Zeus". I thought that Zeus was typically depicted with a beard, and was ...

... huge theater with marble and murals and mosaics everywhere you look. As for the ballet itself, the music is basically a random selection of Chopin pieces and the story is based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas about a courtisan and a man who falls in love with her. The costumes, music, and theatre were all brilliant. The choreography was a little off here and there in my opinon. There seemed to be a huge focus on lifts (guys lifting girls ...

... left, we followed this around an 180 degree corner, so we are now going back the way we came but with a bit of a hill between us and the original road... we now go down a hill (that later we get to go back up.. get the picture?) then Voila! we found it....The grounds were wonderful, the Chateau delightful from the outside, Chateau D'If (his writing retreat, small but near main house) a fantasy picture. This whole thing was a fantasy of his and he did a ...

I have always been interested in France. Also in the most beautiful villages of France. One of them is Gerberoy. Close (300 km./180 miles) to my home we went to visit it. It was desolated and abandonned until Henri-Eugene le Sidaner decided to reside there. He was a painter and other artists came and restored the village to its beauty it is now.

... distance of our hotel. A helpful local offered us some advice and we then headed off for another Metro line, made an interchange and eventually got off at the Bastille Metro station from where we walked about two kilometers back to our Hotel, making a pit-stop to sample the Curving Fries at our local McDonald's for one last time. Exhausted we dropped in to bed for a night of rest before an easier day tomorrow with our flight to London tomorrow night at 9:40pm.

... French. "No, it's not mine." "And it's too big for me," she explained, putting it on her ring finger. "It must be a man's. What do you think I should do with it?" "Why don't you leave it here on the cobblestone wall," I offered, "maybe he'll come back and get it." Perhaps I'm a hopeless romantic thinking that this poor man is distraut that his wedding band is missing. "I think you should take it." she says, shoving the ring into my hand. "I don't want it ...

... Mueum d`Orsay. When we came there, we found out it was 17:05 and the museum was just being closed. Well disappointed, we decided to walk along the river and try to find Palace de Invalides, where`s Napoleon`s tomb. It was really warm and nice weather and we were chilling for a little while on benches in front of the palace. We saw a nice sunset there but it started to get cooler so we decided to go for a dinner. Susana wanted to see the Eiffel tower by night which me and ...

... and I was served a very nice French dinner. But the people in the carriage were stuck up and unfriendly. This train cost an extra 26 euro on top of my eurail pass. I'm staying at the Doisy Hotel, a few hundred metres from the Arc De Triomph. Talk about a great deal for 45 euros a night. I have my own shower AND bath and breakfast is included. The room is a good size and the hotel's communal areas are very well decked out. I can highly recommend it ...
