Because vacations are fun, the French like to have a week-long break in February. This was a great opportunity for Mom and Pops to come visit France (at least, Aix and Paris) and me. We spent some time exploring Aix and Marseille before taking the TGV to Paris for four days. We saw it all: Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Notre Dame, Ste Chapelle, Arc de Triomphe, Musée Rodin, Eiffel Tower. . . AND I had really good duck a restaurant. Couldn't ask for anything more out of a vacation.
Blurry or artistic? You decide. As for me. . . well, I didn't want it to turn out this way. (Does that make it art automatically?) At the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Mt. Ste Victoire at the Musée d'Orsay. Apparently, Cézanne painted it at least 72 times. We visited his last studio (in Aix) before our trip to Paris, and Mom even got to touch his chapeau!
Oh Musée d'Orsay, how I love thee.
Be jealous--I got to see the one and only Georgia Kuss. In Paris. For those of you who don't know her, Georgia is a dear friend of mine from high school. She's studying in Paris this semester.
