Dans Ma Rue

So what have I been up to these past two months? I think some photos with captions will suffice.

Nocturnes de Notre Dame de Paris - in the late evening you can watch a short film in the Notre Dame after it is shut. It's a very interesting film about the architecture and history of the cathedral.

Les Quatre Temps in La Défense is a massive shopping centre with all your needs: From New Look and Zara to Auchan and Toys'R'Us.

Bois de Vincennes - There's lots of things to do here for the family. There's the Château de Vincennes and the Parc Floral de Paris where we did some climbing and rickshawing.

Saint-Ouen has the biggest antiques market in Europe and there were lots of adorable treasures to be found!

Hallowe'en was spent with lots of Erasmus people in probably one of the best clubs I've ever been to: Palais Maillot. I was supposed to be Cho Chang because of my Asian descent.

Lac Disney - Here we watched a sound and light show with fireworks to remember the gunpowder plot.

Catacombes - Due to complaints and disease, cemeteries all over Paris were dug up and the bones transported to Denfert-Rochereau to lay them to their final resting place.

La Roue de Paris is placed at Place de la Concorde near Christmas time each year.

And now I'm revising, but tomorrow is my last exam then we are having an International Erasmus Christmas Party (where we bring food from our nations) and then heading home on the Saturday. Here's how Christmas is appreciated in my street.

Joyeux Noël à tous!
