Boris in Paris

Ooh la la! Paris is never disappoints. Musicians in the subway, dogs on leads, and a boulangerie (bakery) on every corner. 

The Eiffel Tower was as impressive as ever, but Sebastian has talked about that. I will tell you about the Mona Lisa in the Louvre and Sacre Coeur in Montemarte. 

The Louvre is the world’s largest art museum. It is beside the Seine River in Paris. More than 9 million people visit it each year.

The Louvre was once a palace until Louis XIV moved to Versailles, and the Louvre became an art museum. You can find Egyptian antiques, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, paintings by the Old Masters, and crown jewels and other artifacts. 


The most famous painting there is the Mona Lisa. The painting is also called La Gioconda or La Joconde. She was really beautiful. She was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. There have been lots of stories about her, but her story is quite simple. She was the wife of a silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo, but her real name was Lisa Ghererdini. She and her husband were from Florence in Italy. 

We also visited Sacre Coeur, in Montemarte. Sacre Coeur means the the Sacred Heart of Paris and it is the second highest point in France, after the Eiffel Tower of course! If you look carefully, you might see a man playing a harp on the steps. 

Pablo Picasso used to paint in Montmarte and he used to pay for his lunches with a drawing for the owner. There were many painters there today as well. It is one of my favourite places in Paris so far.
