Today was another spectacular day in
the city of love, which truly lived up to its name for some. We began with a
rather long trip on the Metro system that was good training for our legs as we were soon
climbing flights of stairs up to the Sacré Cœur in Montmarte which was another spectacular church and demonstration
of the overwhelmingly great French architecture.
Some of us enjoyed trying
l’escargot (which was delicious!!!) for the first time in a beautifully set
French café while others got some of the many artists in the area to draw their
portraits.

We then wandered down to the red light district and saw the world famous Moulin Rouge amongst other interesting shops and entertainment business’.
Most of us then headed to The
Louvre to truly experience the art France is famous for, which was amazing and something
that can only be experienced in person.
Some of us then headed to The Musée d’Orsay which was even more
astonishing and even though Alex ended up exploring both The Louvre and The
Musée d’Orsay by himself and William Buffham lost the group in both museums the
spectacular artwork was enjoyed by all. From the impressionists work in The
Musée d’Orsay to the Mosaic tiling and of course the Mona Lisa in The Louvre it
blew all of our minds.
But after everything that happened today the ‘Red
Beret’ went to Mrs. Radcliffe for not realizing that the shower temperature
could be changed from cold after three days.
