After a great little sojourn to the Loire Valley, I spent the rest of the weekend getting to know Paris a little better. It was nice because I've gotten to know some people on my program better, so we all went around the city together. I live in a really great area of Paris, as my apartment is about a 10 minute walk from the Bastille. The Bastille area is known for its great crêpe places and bars. I've discovered a great crêperie that sells crêpes for only 2 euros. Great deal and they're absolutely delicious too!
On Saturday, Chelsea and I spelt in really late but we finally left the apartment and went to the Hôtel de Ville, walked up and down the Seine and walked around the french equivalent of Macy's, called BHV. All of the positive stereotypes about France are true. The city is so old and romantic, all of the buildings are so charming. Check out the photos below!

Abbie - this is such fun to read! I spent time in Blois many many years ago, visiting classmates who were studying there for the term. My clearest memory was that wine was served at lunch...It is great fun to follow your trip - it all sounds so exciting! --- XO Betsy
ReplyDeleteAbbie, you eat meat? Wow! I have been doing the same for the last month (mostly due to Australia's serious love of dead animals on the plate) and now in Jumby Bay, where you know Curtis serves the most delicious meals.
