In addition to longer, more detailed posts, I will also be posting lists of activities that we did on each day. These posts will be kind of boring, but they are useful for me in keeping a record of my trip.
Day 1-Travel day
- After a layover in Brussels, I finally made it to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.
- Took the RER B to the Cité Universitaire de Paris, my home for the next month.
- Settled into my dorm, Maison Deutsch De La Meurthe.
Day 2
- Coffee and croissants with friends for breakfast
- Lunch at the Café du Rendez-Vous
- Tour of Sainte-Chapelle, a High Gothic style chapel built between 1242 and 1248 and a part of the royal Palais de la Cité.
- Boat tour on the Seine
- Dinner at Crêparie du Cluny
Interior of Sainte-Chapelle
Day 3
- Bought my French SIM card–yay for 4G!
- Architectural and historical tour of the Quartier Latin
- Visited the Musée national du Moyen Âge, aka the Musée de Cluny. The museum houses the famous tapestry, La Dame à la licorne, as well as a Roman frigidaire. This building was originally used as a Roman fort and then as a medieval chapel.
Keep an eye out for more pics! Too tired to post them all today…
