Parisian Girl

     I am officially counting down the hours until our departure from Lacoste to Paris!  The air is filled with a campus-wide enthusiasm among students and staff itching to board our train and get our butts to the city.  For most of us, this will be our first time to a place as magical and grand as Paris.  My pulse is racing.  I'm ready to be there! I have already mentally prepared myself for a week of little sleep, the tastiest junk food on earth, and the most amazing adventures of my life.  I continue to be extremely grateful for this amazing opportunity my parents have allowed me to have, and I can't wait to discover all of the wonders Paris has to offer! 

Some things I'll be up to in Paris: 

• Harry Potter 7 Part 2 ~ Le Grand Rex (the largest theater in the world)
• Musee d'Orsay
• Lunch at the Rococo Room (restaurant inspired by the infamous Marie Antoinette)
• Eiffel Tower
• Arche de Triomphe
• Luxembourg gardens
• Musee du Louvre
• Musee Europeenne de Photographie
• Centre Pompidou
• Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson
• Notre Dame tour and mass
• Versaille (I'm most interested in the Marie Antoinette dress collection)
• Revolution Square (where Marie Antoinette was beheaded)
• Marche aux Puces de St. Ouen (largest flea market in Paris)
• Ile St. Louis ~ Berthillon (Best sorbets in Paris)

PLEASE leave me a comment letting me know if there is something I must check out while I'm there.  I only get 6 days in Paris, and I want to make them COUNT. I'll share every detail when I get back to Lacoste! Until then...
