Vive la France!

6/16/2013

Today, I woke up and went to Jardin Atlantic with my friends to have a picnic and finish our leftovers from the previous night. Jardin atlantic is a rooftop garden at an old train station. It was quite nice and there were even tennis courts in the park as well. This garden was in Montparnasse so we then decided to go check out the tallest building in Paris which was just a block away. We climbed to the very top, and once again saw an amazingly beautiful view of Paris. We then went down a level to have a couple drinks while taking in the beautiful view of Paris. After that we decided to go see Musee Carnavelet which is a museum dedicated to history of Paris. After the museum, we walked around le Marais which is where the museum is located. This is a very rich but was filled with people, both Parisians and tourists. We stopped and rested on the street and listened to some street performers playing instruments. This area is so busy because it’s one of the few places where clothing stores, cafes, and restaurants are open. For almost all other areas in Paris, everything is closed on Sundays. After relaxing, Magdalena and I decided to go to Palais Tokyo. This is kind of like a convention center building, however nothing was going on a time so we just walked around and left. It was still very cool to see though! We decided to go to a restaurant around Champs Elysee where we ate Japanese food!
