Louvre/Versailles.

The next day, Larissa and I dropped her mom off at the airport and found our next hotel. We also did some shopping on the Champs-Élyees. That night we picked up Loviisa from the train station and saw Hunger Games in English. It was a much better experience than when we saw it in French.

During our time in Paris, Larissa, Loviisa and I went to the Louvre for a day and Versailles for a day. As it turns out, if you have a student visa for France, you get into all the sites for free because you are technically a European Union citizen between the ages of 18-25 and they get into everything for free. Now that visa hassel seems worth it, doesnt it?

The Louvre was pretty fantastic.  It's really giant. It's one of those places you really can't do all in one day. Do a wing, come back later, do another. There;s just too much.

Versailles was seriously spectacular. As an 18th Century France specialist. (Meaning the one French Revolution class I've taken) I was really excited to see it in person. I've learned about Versailles for ages and it met all my expectations.

 Only seen this painting in every history book I've ever had.

 Hall of Mirrors. Love love love

 Oh Marie.

 Les jardins



Paris was truly spectacular. I loved every moment I spent there. Which must be the reason I'm leaving at 6 am tomorrow morning to go back :)

  1. Indeed, the Louvre is a great museum! You have so much to see there it takes more than a day to see everything! Your picture of the pyramid is great. It's always good to see people enjoying the Louvre.
