A trip to Paris France

             What Would I do In Paris,France for a day?


   First I would go to a cute little cafe called Cafe De La Paix
which serves the best croissants and watch all the painters and paint there. Then, I would go see Paris' most famous monument the Eiffel tower and shop till I drop at all the cute boutiques there. 
    
    Last I would go to the most magical place where dreams come true, DisneyLand. I would ride all the rides and spend whole  day with my family talk about our whole experience in Paris. We would then go back to our hotel Le Meurice and sleep the night away until tomorrow when our adventures begins again.

 

 

  

Le Meurice

    The Le Meurice is one of Paris' most prized treasures with a rich history. Dating back to 1771 the genius behind the hotel, Mr. Charles-Augstin Meurice,  used his own coaching inn to fly them to Paris ( which back then was a 36 hour flight). He created the second inn in 1817 which was a huge success. Sadly Charles would die three years later at the age of 40 years old. Though the creator had died the hotel was a booming success. Many famous people came like in 1855 Queen Victoria stayed at the hotel.
   

    In 1905 Arthur Miller (the head of the hotel manegment company) and his director- Mr. Schwenter remodeled the hotel which cost about 8 million dollars. In 1914-1918 the hotel was shut down and turned into a hospital for wounded soilders during WWI. Picasso (the famous painter) and his wife , Olga Kolklova picked Le Meurice as the place for their wedding.

   With a beautiful history and rich design Le Meurice is an amazing hotel and amazing sight to see. (Sight I got the information http://www.hotelsite.com/France/Paris/Le-Meurice-Dorchester-Collection_1226556/history.html)

Eiffel Tower

   The Eiffel Tower is an amazing french monument with a fabulous history on how it was made. Today you will know more about one of France's most beautiful treasures the Eiffel Tower.

       

    Alexander  Eiffel is the man who is behind the Eiffel Tower ( with the help of his workers of course). The magnificent creation was finished in 1889. But it is Maurie Koechlin who came up with idea and design of the Eiffel Tower .The creation was to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution. Now the building stands beautiful and tall as it did in 1889 with millions of tourist attractions in the structure who wouldn't love the Eiffel Tower
