Ahhhh Parreeeeee Non?

This will be my final day in Paris, and I am unlikely to do anything as I am sick. 
Overall I liked Paris, it was what I expected. Great food. Great sites. Snobbery. Though, I will warn you the city smell is less than inviting, most places reak of urine and sometimes of animal waste. Dogs are prevalant in Paris, meaning that everyone has a dog. The unforunate part is that many will not pick up after their animals. So watch out, our tour guide had said that it was not uncommon to be injured by slipping in dog crap. I wonder how to explain that to your boss when you need to recover? 

The Parisian people : I honestly cannot say whether or not they are snobs and rude. The service people are generally rude, they don't work for tips and they take their time to do everything. They don't seem to be in a rush like we do back home. I have met some really snotty French people. One thing to note that they barely smile at you, even if you smile at them. Maybe I met a lot of sour faced people, but thats what I encountered, and I think I am pretty friendly. 

I went to 
- Notre Dame 
- Tulleries 
- Eiffel Tower in morning and at night 
- Champs Elysee
- Louvre (The thing is gigantic) 
- Versailles (Ohhhh Versailles! Totally worth the effort) 
- Angers ( a town about 2 hours French train ride= 4 hours Cdn train ride)
- All the patisseries in the area (like Tim Hortons they are EVERYWHERE). 


It may not look like I did a lot, but Versailles was a whole day event as well as Angers. Both totally worth the effort and well funds. 

Angers is totally underrated and worth a visit for a day. It lacks tourists, which means there are NO English people around, but that means NO English people around. It's rather great, you actually feel as though you are in Paris. I thought Angers was like I expected Paris to be, except smaller. There are several churches there that peep out of the line. The streets are narrow and most of them are old. There are 11th century ruins that are now the David Anjou Gallery. I just went and looked at them. Truly wonderful. The view from the fortress was amazing. There were a total of like 5 people in the fortress, and it was only 5 EUROS! Really wonderful. Though warning, the river Maine is absolutely disgusting. Its brown. From on top. Its bloody brown. 

FYI, McDonalds here totally tastes the same. Except they serve Perrier and beer. 

Chips : Bolognaise
Pop: They don't have ROOT BEER!
