Paris in “Midnight in Paris”
Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris captures the magic of the City of Light. If you spend a few days in Paris, make sure you wander around at night. You really can miss the whole experience of Paris, if you don’t go out at night.
Louvre
Notre Dame de Paris
Paris – Day 3/Brussels
Sept. 22, 2010:
Got up early and got a watch and an alarm clock before seeing the Louvre in the morning and afternoon.
That night I headed back to Brussels, because tomorrow I was heading to the UK.
I had some money troubles in Paris, I got that straightened out. Did some laundry.
Paris – Day 2
Sept. 21, 2010:
Early in the morning I saw the Eiffel Tower and Arch de Triomphe on Champs-Elyees.
Tried to go to the Louvre, but it was bizarrely closed on a Tuesday.
After that, I decided to go see the July Column at Bastille.
I jokingly asked if Moulin Rouge was made up, but the nice lady at the front desk told me it was an actual place. I was stunned in silence. I decided to go and see it for myself. Many people were taking pictures of the famous red windmill.
At the end of the day, I had dinner and walked around.
