Monuments that Tell Stories of Paris

After being in Paris for a few weeks now, I feel that I have learned so much. The entire trip has been like a huge history lesson. I've decided that if I had grown up in Paris, I would be much more interested in history. Living in the US, it's hard to see a large historical site. But in Paris, you learn about an amazing historical event and then it's only a short trip to the actual location of the very event. This makes it so much more interesting.

This weekend I bought a book titled Monuments that Tell Stories of Paris. It's a children’s book, but it's amazing. It talks about a bunch of different famous monuments in Paris and it gives a short history of them. It's the best book ever. A lot of the monuments in the book we have already been to. Claude has taken our class to a few of these locations and what she has told us has been retold to me through this book. I can't wait to bring it home and be able to tell everyone about all the different places in the book. It's my goal to visit all the locations in the book before I return home.
