4 Places:

1. The Eiffel Tower; It is very iconic, photogenic, and an ideal location to have a picnic or just relax with friends.

2. The Musée du Louvre is the world's largest art museum and also very beautiful. I am interested in learning about pre-historic forms of art.

3. Le Parc Astérix; Knowing more about French culture is intriguing and interesting.
4. Le Château de Versailles, because I like the concept of the "infinite view."

3 Foods:

1. Pain au chocolat; I eat them very often here in the United States, but it is a French food, after all. If I enjoy consuming them here, I bet I'd enjoy them even more in France.

2. Crème brûlées; My favorite dessert ever, hands down. The creaminess of the custard and the crunchy texture of the sugar is hard to beat, and just like pain au chocolat, I'm sure the French make it well.

3. Steak frites; Two delicious entrées beautifully paired together. I enjoy eating steak and fries a la carte, so it'd be interesting to see how the French make it.

2 Activities:

1. Horseback riding in Fontainebleau; When most people picture France, they picture a busy, bustling city filled with markets and apartments, however, there is a really nice part of France for adventurous individuals who enjoy spending time in the wilderness as well, and horseback riding is an activity I enjoy.

2. Boat-sailing in La Jardin du Luxembourg; Although commonly perceived as a children-targeted activity, sailing boats is a fun activity to do at La Jardin du Luxembourg, and also a great place to spend time with friends and/or loved ones.

1 Historical Person:

Though I know many things about Napoléon Bonaparte, I want to know more since he was such a monumental individual who affect France in so many different ways. He is an iconic figure that nearly everyone knows about.

1 Event:

I'd like to go take pictures at Champs-Elysées since it has a great view of L'arc de Triomphe.
