A Few More Things From Paris




 I saw so much in Paris, I wanted to show you a little more.  This is the famous Moulin Rouge (red windmill).  Inside is a theater where they put on a dancing show.  We went to see it and it was amazing!  


Near the Moulin Rouge is Montmartre.  In this part of Paris, on top of a very high hill stands Sacre Coeur.  Sacre Coeur is a large cathedral built in the early 1900's.  After you climb a lot of stairs, you are at the highest point in Paris...and so are a lot of other people!  You get an amazing view of the entire city from up there, so people gather to watch the sunset here every night.


One day, we heard a lot of noise coming from the street by our hotel.  When we went to see what it was, we found ourselves in the middle of a giant parade!  Hundreds of people in all kinds of costumes were part of the parade that celebrated Carnival (a yearly celebration).


We also went to a wax museum.  This is a museum where artists make wax sculptures of famous people.
They look so real!  Here are some pictures of me with Pele, Obama, and Elton John.




Paris is full of so many fun and beautiful things.  Everywhere you go, you are amazed by what you see.  Here are some more pictures I took.









Finally, here a a couple videos of the castle of Versailles.  The first if of the Hall of Mirrors inside the castle.  The second is of a fountain show outside in the gardens.
