Finally....

OK, so yes I have been living in Paris now for nearly three months and I have only just started a blog, but I figure that as my three close friends from home have abandoned Facebook this could be the way to inform EVERYONE, at the same time, exactly what I have been doing.
So a recap…
Why am I in Paris?
With a desire to see as much of Europe as possible and pick up a language or two on the way, I figured I need to work my way around. Literally work. And so I have started life as an au pair in Paris.
I am currently on month 3 in Paris and to give a full update would be exhausting and so a list of the highlights;
  • Of course, the Eiffel Tower. At night. In full sparkle. At the top. On an ice rink.
  • The Louvre. But more so the Musee de la mode. A fashion museum that forms part of the Louvre.
  • Chinese New Year in the Chinese District.
  • Montmatre at sunset with a sorbet in my hand.
  • Le Marais - The shops, the streets and the food.
  • Breakfast in America. Our regular brunch haunt. No, it’s not traditionally French but oh yes it is good.
  • Musee d’Orsay
  • Musee du Quai Branley
  • A day trip to Chartes.
  • My Birthday.
  • A visit from Fran.
  • A weekend in Versailles.
  • The oceanosaures 3D show at the Geode. More so the 3D Haribo advert with the floating marshmellows.
  • The Catacombes.
  • The Henri Huet Photography Exhibition at the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie.
  • My romantic weekend in Brussels with Maggie.
It’s safe to say I have done a fair amount of sightseeing in Paris with my two like minded, museum loving friends.
