Musée de l’ouvre the world’s largest art museum and historic monuments in Paris

Today a group of us decided to go to the Louvre and it was and amazing experience. The commute from our hotel was super easy and fast. We got there around 1:30pm it’s was ridiculously crowded but fortunately the line was moved fast. It was only €15 to get in or €20 with the audio guide. Unfortunately student discount is only available for European students:( however it a place worth visiting. Let’s take a glimpse!

Salon de la Patisserie & Palais de la Porte Doree

Sunday fun day! My favorite day of the week, our 9th day in Paris and it is all coming along. Today was the last day of the “Programme du Salon de la Patisserie” so a few classmates and I decided to experience the world of French Pastries. The Salon was full of different booths from; “Le Macaron par Bruno Laffargue”, “French Touch” to “Le Cordon Bleu” and so much more. There was also a few competitions among the favorite local artisans as well as pastry classes. Not to mention the tasting and the goodies! It was a beautiful and amazing event.

Since it was such a beautiful day we also went to the “Palais de Doree” located at the Bois de Vincennes. The Palais offers three different attractions: ” Le Musee national de l’histoire de l’immigration” ( The National Museum of the History of immigration). The Palais history including its architectural style and the one we visited; “Aquarium Tropical”. Since it was a group of us we only paid 4.20 euro and the experience worth way more than that!

overall it was a fun and beautiful day. let’s take a look at the pictures!
