Friday

this past weekend was VERY busy.

we were studying Romanesque and Greco-Roman Paris on Friday. We stated at the OLDEST church in Paris. It was right next to Notre Dame. Notre Dame DWARFED this church in size and ornateness. It was a very simple but beautiful church. They still hold services there. I would love to go back on a Sunday for a service. I wouldn’t understand a word they were saying but it would still be be a great experience.

After the church we walked to the Louvre. On the way there we saw a production of a movie. I do not know the name of the movie but we found out that its Russian director and its about a couple during WWII. They were filming on the Seine.  I did not recognize any of the actors. But ill make sure to keep my eye out for a period movie set in Paris during the second world war!

The Louvre was AWESOME! its so big though! I have to go back when I have more time to discover.

we spent a really long time at Venus de Milo. I really find this art interesting because of my Freedom in Rome class from last semester. I could have spent HOURS just in that one wing.

I had to leave the Louvre early to get to my cinema class. I was a little disappointed to take this class at first. I didn’t want to spend my time in Paris watching movies while I could be experiencing Paris for myself. But the class actually turned out to be really interesting.

We watched “The Beat that my Hear Skipped” its about a French gangster who’s really interest is becoming a concert pianist. If it is available in the US, you should rent it!
