So I am living in Le Marais, in the 3ième arrondissement right down the street from the Place de la Bastille, where the famous Bastille prison used to be, before the people tore it down during the French Revolution. Here are some pictures of my room. It's so French with the blue and white, I love it.

So we live super close to everything, 2 metro stops from Hotel de Ville, which is a block or two away from Notre Dame. Me and Erin decided to wander around the neighborhood on Saturday, and guess what we found? This: La Place des Vosges. It's the oldest planned city square in Europe, so pretty!
Plus, it's now a beautiful park in the middle!
And....Victor Hugo lived there while writing Les Miserables. So we went and saw his apartment, it's now a museum. And we got to use our student art cards for the first time, they are seriously magic. The guy looked at them, a little puzzled at first, then said "ah! oui, oui!" and handed us our free tickets. I didn't think they would actually work!
