MY TRAVELS IN THE WORLD:


1.Paris




Paris a special place. My parents lived there for a long time so I was anxious to visit it. Finally, I loved my visit in the City of Lights. I visit a lot of places:

-First, museums, I love them. In Paris, they are a lot of them: The Louvre Museum (is one of the world's largest museums, and a historic monument), Musée Rodin (which opened in 1919, dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin), Orangerie Museum (art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings), etc. All of them have an stunning collection with painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Eugéne Delacroiz, Jean Louis David, and many others.

-Then, monuments. Paris have lots of them. There are monuments of all kinds: of ancient ("Arc du Trionphe", Notre Dame Cathedral", etc" and modern times (Eiffel Tower, etc). The place I like the most was MontMartre because there is a beautiful church called Sacré Coeur and in the back, hundreds of painters want to do a portrait of you.

My favourite moments:

When I had lunch in one of those classic outdoor cafés, my visit to the Center George Pompidou and the City of the Sciences and Industries.

Last year, I saw a movie called "MIDNIGHT IN PARIS" directed by the genius Woody Allen ("Manhattan", "Annie Hall") and I almost cried with the intro scene of the movie. I miss Paris so much.
