Bonjour I had another lovely weekend here in paris. I can hardly keep
track of all the things that I did but I toured around by myself on friday
which was exciting. I just went around the Hotel de Ville near the Ile de
la Cite and walked around near the Notre Dame and then I explored up to the
Tuileries and and the Montmartre an artsy area and the Montparnasse and I
saw the Sacre Coeure and the La Madeleine and the Bastille and many other
little shops and charming cafes and theatres and parks. Florance took me to
a cafe chein noir and then we went out with some of her friends who are very
sweet and kind. They all helped me with my french and everyone was excited
to meet an american. The nightlife is big here and very diverse and
exciting with discotechs et cafes. On Saturday, Florance and I rendez vous
avec elle copain Alex a Champs Elysees and then we ventured into the opera
quarter. I saw the lovely Opera House and we looked around at all the chic
shops on the avenue like Vuitton, Chanel, Doir, Tiffany, etc. Then I went
to dinner at the house of some friends of Florance and we stayed out late
but it was a delicious meal of melon, bourdeaux vin rouge, le porc, et la
flan. Today I went to high mass at Notre Dame and then went to high brunch
at the Jacquemart Andre Museum which was so lovely_look it up on the
Internet; it is so beautiful with french and italian tapestries and frescos
by Boucher et Fragonard. Then we traveled around the area, the Tuileries
quarter and we visited the World Bar designed by Paul Smith. I also saw an
exhibit about Grace Kelly at the Hotel de Ville. We passed all sorts of
street fairs and markets and we visited le parc jacquemare. It has been so
wonderful so far, you haveto experience it to know, oui? Bonjour Je
