Bonjour
tout le monde!

Today was a beautiful day and I was able to do walk number
14. This included Musée Jacquemart-André, the gorgeous Parc Monceau, and the
Musée Nissim de Camando.
This walk started at the Musée Jacquemart. This museum is
privately owned, so it is the only museum so far that we actually had to pay to
go into. This “museum” was essentially a tour of the private residence of
Jacquemart-André and his wife. These two people lived an amazing life. They
were art collectors and often toured the world, especially Italy, to get new
art. They lived in such a beautiful place, and I was very thankful to have an
audio-guide to learn all about it.

Next, we went to Parc Monceau, a park that I have wanted to
go to since I got to Paris. I love parks here in Paris, and this one is my
second favorite (just behind Jardin de Luxembourg). There were beautiful trees, ponds and flowers
and the park was decorated by “ruins” which were put in when the park was
built.

After relaxing for a while at the park we went to the Musée
Nissim de Camondo. This was such a gorgeous house, and it was really
interesting because we were able to see bathrooms and the kitchen. Normally we
just see bedrooms and sitting rooms. Overall, I liked being able to look into the
lavish lives of the rich and famous of the 18th century, and Parc Monceau
was absolutely gorgeous.
