Paris

Bonjour/Hello

We are in France. In France, people speak French instead of English, so we are learning to speak a little French.
These are our most used words.
Merci -Thank you
Sil vous plais - please
Parlez vous anglaise - Do you speak English?

We stayed in Paris, the capital of France, and ate croissants for breakfast, and jambon et fromage baguettes (ham and cheese rolls) for lunch. Some French people eat special snails for dinner (we saw some one eat them, but we didn't. We had beef bourginon (beef with onions and mushrooms in a special sauce).

Some famous buildings that we have seen are:

 The Eiffel tower

 The Arc de Triomphe (we climbed the stairs inside and looked at Paris from the top)

Awesome.

 The Palace of Versaille

 This room in the palace has mirrors all way down the hall and heaps of chandeliers. All the walls and ceilings are painted with beautiful paintings. There was also an art display in the palace. There was a huge shoe made out of cooking pots, and a pink helicopter.

We don't have a car in Paris, so we are using trains to travel around. Some of the trains run underground through tunnels and some run above the ground. They travel very fast. We are hiring another motor home and travelling around the north of France and down to the Loire Valley (where there are lots of chateaux (French castles).

Have a great week.
Au revoir.
