"The story of a Queen who lived like a Rock Star"

Récemment, j'ai visité...

Versailles.

high: quoting marie antoinette with darian and rachel as we walked through the rooms and rooms of marble and chandeliers 

low: freezing cold weather that made it impossible to visit the gardens

overall: not as good of an experience as Fontainebleau...but maybe another visit will change my opinion


Montmartre. (yes, again)

high: where to begin? talking with painters, finding a hidden vineyard, watching an old gypsy woman play the accordion, talking with Darian for hours beneath Sacre Cœur, eating gelato with Rachel, Amanda, and Fran. The list could go on and on. 

low: practically perfect day. But could've done without the p.d.a. on the hill. It's everywhere here.

overall: while touristy, Montmartre is magical. 'Nough said.



Musée d'Orsay.

high: more Monet, Van Gough, and Degas! That, and good conversation about literature with Macord

low: crowds of people...but still much more intimate than the Louvre

overall: i want to live there



La Tour Eiffel 

high: sampling all of the deserts that Melissa and I bought (we were even excused from class to do this!)


low: Chloe got her iphone stolen from right under our noses. Luckily, the police caught the culprits in the act. Whew. 

overall: i'll never get over how i can just do this whenever i want. i feel so blessed.
