Paris


The first week of the second program through the Learning Abroad Center ended with a trip to Paris.

We caught the train early on Friday morning and after ditching our bags we headed out into the narrow, quaint streets.

Paris wasn't all just sight seeing and taking in the romantic air of the beautiful city, we were there to visit the Musée de l'Immigration. It is a great museum, and after spending 3 hours there we still only saw a fraction.

We got lunch at a small cafe, where we met the nicest, best crêpe maker. We couldn't just get a crêpe salé we caved and also got a sucré :)


We also visited the the Institut du Monde Arabe which is filled with beautiful artwork and the tiniest Korans in the world with amazing calligraphy.

.

On the last day I made sure to see the Eiffel Tour, Arc de Triomph, Champs-Élysées, the Luxombourg gardens.


It was a very quick, busy, exhausting weekend but very enjoyable !
