We’ve been in Paris for a week and have already accomplished two amazing adventures. I’ll share more details about what happened when I had to ask directions in French to Pére Lachaise Cimetiere soon.
In the meantime, it’s time to vote for our next adventures in Paris. Below are four imaginative adventures, all submitted by Dan Knight (thanks for the great suggestions Dan!).
Let’s look at our options.
Paris Adventure Options
Milestones on the Champs-Élysées. Tour the historical places and events that occurred along the world’s most famous grand avenue, for example the Nazi occupation march in 1940 and the World’s Fair in 1855. Then write about these events from the perspective of one of the stones on the street or trees along the avenue.
Marie Antoinette’s Dispatch. Follow Marie Antoinette’s journey from her arrival as the intended to Louis XVI to dispatch: Paris, Versailles, Le Petit Hameau, Sant’ Chapel, Place de la Concorde.
Vive la Révolucion! Follow the revolution storylines in either a Tale of Two Cities or Les Misérables. How do those events compare with the 1968 student strikes on the Left Bank and the 2013 car burnings by Muslim youth?
Caving in Paris. Explore the huge system of caverns, caves, and catacombs below Paris, left from when the Romans quarried the region for stone. Every once in a while a bit of Paris plunges into a hole (more information from National Geographic).
