Bonjour
tout le monde!

Today was a big day! Today
was the day I finished my last walk, walk #13, which was in the seizième
arrondissement (which is essentially just one of the neighborhoods in Paris).
This walk was very long but I loved it! The walk started at the Allée des
Cygnes, a long narrow artificial island in the middle of the Seine.

At the end
was a miniature statue of liberty, but we could only see the backside. Then we
walked around this little park and a couple of houses.

Then we went into la maison
de Balzac. Balzac was a famous French author and this was where he wrote some
of his famous novels.

After, we walked down the
rue de passy, and went into the Jardins du Ranelagh. In the Jardin du Ranelagh
there was a statue of Jean de la Fontaine, a famous French author who wrote
many children’s poems that are very famous in France.

After we went to the Musée
Marmatton Monet. I LOVED this museum. I loved seeing Monet’s paintings, and it
was perfect timing because the next day I would be going to Monet’s house.

After we went into Paris’s
biggest park, the Bois de Boulogne. This park is huge and gorgeous, with ponds,
trails, trees, flowers and more. We actually took the wrong direction and
walked for a very longtime in the Bois de Boulogne, but it was so pretty that
it didn’t matter.

Overall, I was very glad I got to walk around the Bois de
Boulogne, and Monet’s paintings made me so excited to go to Giverny!
À Bientôt,
