Daunou Opera Paris

... käytäville. Muuttomiesten piti tulla perjantaina siirtämään työpöytäni ja huoneessani olevat kaksi tarpeetonta hyllyä, mutta eipä ketään näkynyt. En voisi sanoa olevani yllättynyt, koska minua pyydettiin ensimmäisen kerran muuttamaan kiireellisellä aikataululla huhtikuun alussa ja vanhat huonekaluni ovat edelleen samassa huoneessa. Ensi maanantaina olisi taas reissua tiedossa eli Skotlanti kutsuu. Viikko kuluu Glasgow'ssa, jonne on luonnollisesti luvattu sadetta ...

... the Pantheon which is "France's secular temple" where important Frenchmen such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Victor Hugo etc. are buried. Saturday we went to Le Bon Marche, the first department store in the world (according to the French). It is so beautiful, I almost wish I had brought my camera - unforunately I didn't buy anything, I was still getting used to the Euro! I can't even describe how many small boutiques and clothing stores there are here. They all seem so ...

... Dame Cathedral is one of those places that you see all the time in pictures, and people had told me that it doesn't really live up to how you think it will be.   And I am telling you that those people were on drugs.  Serious drugs.  Because I freaking loved Notre Dame.  Maybe its because I am a Disney freak and kept thinking I was Esmeralda.  Maybe it was because I had fun picking out my favorite gargoyles.  I don't know, but I loved this place.  It is so beautiful ...

Bonjour from your Guest Blogger aka Mimi. Mommy and Daddy took off for a romantic evening in beautiful Paris, leaving me with les enfants for some fun and good ol' fashioned spoiling. Oh la la... We started out with a cool book called Paris Mini, showing some of the places we planned on seeing in Paris and little art projects for each. The book inspired us so much that soon we were creating the Arc de Triomphe and the Tour Eiffel with our Monster chips. Then we put together a cool ...

... The taste of Parisian water (both tap and bottled) · Cigarette stench of my apartment · People replying in English when I try to speak to them in French · Too many sleazy men

... Paris has got the "Stade de France" where there are the football and rugby games. This stadium can host about 80 000 persons. This stadium hosted several concerts. (Jean-Marie Bigard, Johnny Hallyday, Céline Dion, Georges Michael, The Rolling Stones, ...) The Da Vinci Code movie has shooted in the "Louvre" and in Paris' streets

... across a couple of homeless blokes who were relaxing in a doorway, drinking quite a nice looking provincial bottle of rosé. So there you go - in Paris, even the bums drink good wine. Day 4: 30+ degrees, clear skies. Given the coverage of Paris on day 2, we decided to take the tip out to Versailles. Now being master of the Paris Metro, I whisked us out there in a jiffy and we walked around the absolutely madly ornate palace where Marie Antoinette used to live ...

... to the Latin Quarter for our dinner when all of the sudden, all the streetlights, houselights, lamps, signs, flood lights, and safety lights went out, and what sounded to me like an air raid siren went off. Even the lights that were so effortlessly highlighting Notre Dame behind us were out. Literally, on the other side of the street, everything was fine, normal... Odd... We found out today that the possible bomb threat and the lights out weren't related. There was no bomb, someone just ...

The cities I visited included: Beautiful, Romantic Paris, France Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette's colossal palace and vast ...
