Our first "Atelier de Stage" was on tuesday before classes, where we all split up into groups to have a professor go over the internship course details. It was a bit overwhelming! lots of work ahead...
And on a happier note, half of our group attended the play 'Le Malade Imaginaire' at La Comedie Francaise! (It was a scheduled event by BU and the other half will be seeing the play next Thursday) It was a bit tricky to follow all the dialogue, so depended greatly on the body language and the rest of the audience.., but had a nice time overall!
The play got out around 10:45-11 PM and we all decided to head over to the Eiffel Tower. The weather was so nice that we decided to walk. We went past the Louvre and through part of the tuileries where big groups of college students were sitting down drinking, eating, and listening to music. At 11, we could see the Eiffel Tower far away in the distance as it started sparkling. Of course, this only made us more eager to get over there. We walked down along the Seine for a while, where there was a similar scene of groups of kids hanging out. The atmosphere was so relaxing and romantic! My feet didn't quite enjoy our decision to walk, but every other part of me did! We finally reached the Eiffel Tower just at it struck midnight, when the sparkles went off again. It was so cool looking up at it twinkling, a sight I had only ever seen from afar.
The next day, a few girls and I decided to be super touristy and check out the Champs Elysées. The sky cleared up just as we got there!
We did a little shopping and grabbed lunch. Then, of course, we had to make a stop at Ladurée, the famous macaron shop. Yum!
