The Luxembourg Gardens

Salut mes amis!
     The past few days have passed so quickly! I am almost done with my first week of classes and my 21ST BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW! It really has been a great week! Tomorrow for my french class we have a field trip so we will be discovering historic Paris through the 5th Arrondissement! There are only 5 people in my beginning french class, so the individual attention is great. Our teacher is so sweet as well, she is parisian and her name is Dominique. On Tuesday we visited the Butte Charmont Park which is about 2 blocks from our hotel. It is absolutely stunning!!

The view from the tower at the top of the hill!

Rose, Sam and Becky in the tower area!

Me, Sam and Becky!

We spent a little time there and then went to the Luxembourg Gardens! They were packed with people because of the nice weather!


How we felt trying to get there by metro...







We had a picnic at the Butte Charmont park later that night! Yesterday we went to the museum of Parisian history, it was a really interesting visit for my perspective on Parisian life! Hopefully i'll figure out how to upload the pictures from my phone soon! After that, I spent the night in relaxing which was EXACTLY what I needed after such a busy few days! Today we had class and then came back to the hotel before shopping for a bit and then hanging out on our balcony outside of our apartment. Tomorrow night is my birthday party, I'm so excited! I'll have pictures up within a few days and then we are headed to Bourdeaux for the weekend! Great things to come, thanks for reading!
