Bonjour!
I arrived in Paris yesterday morning around 8am. I’ve packed for 3 months (optimistically) so getting from Charles de Gaulle to the apartment where I’m staying with my friend Nora was quite a trek. By noon I was all settled and my new strategy for jet lag actually worked! This new strategy being to stay up all night before my flight, then sleep the entire 9 hour flight.
Nora had to go to work, so I set off the explore this familiar city. My first stop, as always, was Montmartre, my favorite part of town.
I came back around 6pm and took a short nap, and then went to the theater to see Woody Allen’s latest, Blue Jasmine, which was by far the most depressing film I’ve seen in a while. But it was in English, which was a welcomed break from spending all day reading my French-English dictionary.
I’m here for a little over a week…what are you suggestions for things I should do?

I love that you’re taking us along on all your adventures! I recommend visiting Cimetière du Père-Lachaise, which is Paris’s famous cemetery. You could spend a whole day there walking around and visiting the graves of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and countless others. It’s strangely very romantic! I’ve never done the Versailles tour but maybe that’s worth checking out? Also, shopping in the Latin Quarter is a must. So many cool bookstores, boutiques, and tiny parks to sit in and watch people go by.

Thank you so much! I will definitely do these things! I’ve done Versailles before, but everything else would be new for me.
