Paris

For centuries Paris has been a flourishing European cultural centre, the city's multicultural inheritance is admired in hundreds of museums, galleries and churches that grace nearly every part of the city.

Unfortunately I did not take along my best camera and neither was the weather brilliant to truly capture the cities cast of architectural splendour that gives the city its most luxurious appeal, however I am sure it is clear that my time in Paris was very much enjoyed.

Pieces of art found in private galleries or on open-air exhibitions clearly indicate that the colonial past of France and the contemporary immigration boom have left a permanent mark on the cultural consciousness of the city. Various experiences of immigrants from all over the world are inscribed in local art and architecture.

To start off our Parisian culture experience, we visited many of the museums to study the history of Paris as represented in the masterpiece paintings and sculptures. One of the best places we visited was The Louvre. The museum holds a vast collection of works from 13th to 19th Centuries, including works painted by such French masters as Achille Michallon and Jacques Blanchard.

Paris was truly beautiful to see, I already want to go back. I am especially missing Nutella Ice Cream…
