4 places I would like to see/visit:

Eiffel Tower- Tour Eiffel is an icon of France and displays architectural wonder. I have read about it in books, seen it in movies and just about everywhere. It is a symbol of Paris and France and I want to see it myself.

Cathedral of Notre Dame- The gothic style architecture is amazing and I have learned about it in World History. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is also full of history and I want to visit this other symbol of Paris.

Champs-Élysée- It is the most famous and beautiful avenue in Paris and is known for its high end shopping. I would like to experience night life in Paris.

Musée d'Orsay- It is the home of many famous paintings such as Starry Night and Van Gogh's self portrait. Impressionism is probably one of my favorite artistic eras and Musée d'Orsay is home to many other famous impressionist paintings. 

 3 dishes I would like to eat:

Ratatouille- After watching the Ratatouille movie, my brother and I were inspired to make ratatouille. It turned out fine but I want to try something more traditional and made in France. 

Crêpe- I have had many crêpes in the United States but I am pretty sure they are not traditional. I love crêpes and I want to try a traditional one. 

Escargot- I love escargot and I have had it many times at French restaurants but they probably taste better in France so I want to try them. 

2 activities I would like to do:

I want to go horseback riding in Fontainebleau because I am pretty good at horsemanship and I want to experience France while doing something I love. I would also like to climb the Eiffel tower because it is a great workout and I can also get a good view of the city.

Joan of Arc

1 event I would like to go to:
