YAY! More blog friends! Hahaha... Hey, I know you guys pretty much have your trip all set up, but are you planning on making a trip to Versailles while you're in Paris/France? My one day at Versailles was, without a doubt, the BEST day in my whole 3 weeks in France. We did the garden fountain tour which was AMAZING, but the castle was closed for repairs. In spite of the fact I still have yet to see the hall of mirrors, I will always remember that day because it was almost like walking back in time... Ok, now I'm just sounding weird. Long story short, Versailles is a must see, even if you just go there for the tour. It's like an hour and 45 min drive south from Paris, I believe.
Oh, and there's this amazing Monet museum in Paris. It's kind of off the beaten path, but my host family took me there because I LOVE Monet. Not a must-see if you don't have time, but it was definitely a highlight of my trip. It's called Musée Marmottan-Monet. I looked up the address and metro stop on their website: 2, rue Louis-Boilly, 75016. Métro: La Muette (9). Anyways, if you're in the area it's really cool.
OH I'M SO JEALOUS!! Congrats on such an amazing opportunity guys! Can't wait to hear all about it! Be safe, have fun, update often!!!
