Blog 2: Ile de France

Places I would like to see/visit:
1. The Eiffel Tower because it is an interesting part of Paris' history. Also, it is a beautiful and popular monument.
2. Notre Dame de Paris because it is an important and old piece of history, and I also want to see what Quasimodo's home would've looked like.
3. La Seine because it is a beautiful river and will be a good view and relaxation spot.
4. La Galerie des Glaces because it seems like a really cool museum.

Dishes I would like to eat:
1. Escargots because I've heard a lot about eating snails in France, and I want to try it.
2. Le Brie because I want to try France's king of cheese.
3. Cuisse de grenouilles (frog legs) because I want to try them, and people say it tastes like chicken.
.
Activities I want to do:
1. Take the train from Paris to London
2. Do a pose with the Eiffel tower

A historical person:
1. Napoleon Bonaparte

An event:
1. Mardi Gras celebration

Blog 2: Ile de France

4 Places:
1. I would really like the go to the Louvre. The glass pyramid seems very intriguing and beautiful, especially when you're under it and the sunlight filters through.
2. Musee d'Orsay seems beautiful. Impressionism art is the line between strange modern art and old fashioned century art.

Musee du Louvre

3. Amusement parks are never boring, it's interactive and there are many activities, so I would go to Le Parc Asterix.
4. La Tour Eiffel is the iconic French symbol (besides the fleur de lis). It looks beautiful, especially at night, and the streets around it seem dreamlike even in pictures.

3 Foods:
1. Escargots -- I'm actually very interested in discovering how they taste. Seeing as they're seasoned with butter and garlic, they can't be bad, though the texture might be strange.

Soupe a l'oignon

2. Souffle -- Savory foods are the best foods, and souffle sounds delicious.
3. Soupe a l'oignon -- the traditional French onion, which I already love, so in France it would taste even better.


2 Activities:
1. I would like to sail boats in the La Jardin du Luxembourg. It seems fun and relaxing, especially with family or friends.
2. I want to go hiking in Fontainbleau. Hiking is an activity my family and I do a lot, and doing it in France might make things more interesting.

1 Historical Person:

A Parade on Champs-Elysees

1. Louis XIV, or La Roi Soleil. I want to know what he did during his reign, how much people liked him, whether he was a good ruler, and why he's called the Sun King.

1 Event:
1. There's an allusion the the Champs-Elysees in one of my favorite songs, and attending one of the parades that happen along it would make me very happy. I'd also get to learn more about the French culture.
