14. Eighteenth-Century Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous.

I did this walk on a Thursday when most of Paris is at work or at school so it was really nice and quit. The walk started out with Jacquemart-Andre Museum. The museum was pretty small and cool. Every room looked good but I don't think it compared to Versailles so I didn't feel that impressed. We then made our way down Boulevard Haussmann and noticed that all of the buildings only had 6 floors. I couldn't remeber how many floors buildings normally have but I think what made this so unique was that every single building only had 6.

Notice the 6 floors?

We then made our way to the Monceau park which was probably my favorite park. There were children everywhere enjoying their recess for the day and many joggers. It was obvious that we were the only Americans/tourists there. This park was so beautiful and relaxed, we stayed on the bench for so long and it was lovely. After the park we headed to the Musee Nissin de Camando.

Flowers being planted, making my spring dreams come true.


I love the willow trees.

This museum is one of my favorites of the trip. I loved it so much, as a designer I was able to learn a lot. It focused in the King Louis and Marie Antoinette styles which are my favorites.

I loved the colors.


A mint green room.


All of the paintings were really pretty.
