Well, Paris was definately an interesting experience and totally not what i expected. The city is beautiful and has so much history to it, but what i did not expect was the SMELL. Everywhere you went, even the nicest restaurant, it smelled like pee. I think French people don't have the concept of a toilet, seriously. Also, no offense to the French because they are really kind (mostly), I don't understand how they get a rep for having the best food because they DON'T! They eat the most disgusting things and you would throw up right now if I told you half the horrifying things I encountered there. I did figure out why the French are so skinny. It's because they are afraid to eat anything so they stick with bread. By the way, the bread was amazing! And the best food that I found in France was, surprisingly, Italian food. I went to most of the museums and my favourtie by far was the Cluny Museum, which has the largest collection of medieval artifacts in the world. I also went to Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, the Louvre, Le Musee d'Orsay, and the Loire Valley (which was my favourite thing). On my trip to the French countryside I went with a tour group and saw 3 chateaus that were magnificent. I saw Ambois (my fav), Cheneauceau, and Chambourd, which is famous for its size and the wine. What was really cool was there was a lot of artsy parts of Paris where I was able to escape the high fashion parts, and there were hip little bookshops and people playing guitars on the streets. It was all together awesome.
