Weekend in Paris (lots of pictures, WATCH OUT!)

Middle of March I got the opportunity to play tour guide in Paris to some friends. Not that I could tell you about the good restaurants or cafés- my qualifications are that I have been there a few times already, I can speak French (and therefore try to avoid tourist treatment), and I know how to open the metro doors. It was cold and overcast, but despite the weather it was a blast, really. Every time I go I feel like I get to know the city a tiny bit more, and I am always struck with how beautiful it is.








Tintin! :D




One of my favorite bands- there were posters up all over the metro :)




Europeans really love their Swatches


Expensive but warm coffee break- totally worth it






Two happy lil travelers ^_^








Some awesome sculpture near the Louvre


















This really tickled me... Parisians... at work.


Notre Dame




















Our hostel


Sacré Coeur

I do apologize if that was a picture overload, but it's kind of impossible to go to Paris and not be inspired to shoot everything you see!

Next stop, Madrid and then London! Two weeks of spring break is perfect for us exchange students :)

A la prochaine...

  1. Hi Sarah! I'm not sure if you still keep up with this blog, but I just stumbled across it because I'm going to Lille 3 next semester! I'm from North Carolina too- I go to Western Carolina University. I just read through all of your entries, but I would kind of like to know more about your time there. I haven't talked to anyone else who has been there before, and I am full of questions. (I found this as I was looking for pictures of Résidence Triolo, just like you were before you went, and I was so happy to see a picture of your room!) I have really enjoyed looking at your pictures and reading your posts, and if you don't mind (and if you see this) I would really love to ask you some questions about Lille!
