CHAPTER 13

CONTINUATION...

DAY 3: Today also we get up early in the morning and have breakfast at the hotel only.  the first stop for today is Musée d'Orsay. This splendid collection of Impressionist art is beautifully presented in an expansive space (formerly the Belle Epoque-era Gare d'Orsay railway station). The collection represents the work of all the masters of Impressionism. The artists range from classic Impressionist masters Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, and Pierre-August Renoir to Post-Impressionist artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, and Vincent van Gogh; the Pointillists (Georges Seurat, Paul Signac); and Bohemian artists like Toulouse Lautrec.

Some of the museum's most famous pieces include Claude Monet's The Magpie, Gare Saint-Lazare, Poppy Field, and Luncheon on the Grass; Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait and Starry Night; and Renoir's Dance at Moulin de la Galette, which depicts a festive party scene in Montmartre. The Orsay Museum is among the best places to visit in Paris to get an overview of Impressionist art history—from the gentle brushstrokes of Monet to the wild, colorful scenes of Gauguin.

Next, we go to  Rue Mouffetard. Situated in the fifth (cinquième) arrondissement of Paris, Rue Mouffetard is one of Paris's oldest and liveliest neighborhoods. These days the area has many restaurants, shops, and cafés, and a regular open market. It is centered on the, at the junction of the rue Mouffetard and the. Its southern terminus is where there is a permanent open-air market. At its northern terminus, it becomes at the crossing of the. It is closed to normal motor traffic much of the week and is predominantly a pedestrian avenue.

we stop to have lunch in between and go back to the hotel as we are going to Luxembourg Gardens in the evening and i prepare what question I want to ask people. I send some pictures to Jaanvi and also my parents and talk with them for sometime before I have to get ready to goo again.

our last stop is Luxembourg Gardens. The Luxembourg Gardens are the best-known park in Paris after the Tuileries. The gardens were laid out in the 17th century when the Palais du Luxembourg was built, but they were given their present form in the 19th century by the architect J.F. Chalgrin. The central feature of the park is the large octagonal fountain-adorned pool, which is flanked by two terraces lined with statues, orderly geometric rows of flowerbeds, and manicured shrubbery. This part of the park exemplifies the French classical style, with many chairs spread about for visitors to use.

I interview a lot of people and most of them are very nice. I and Aarav have a nice dinner and go back to the hotel to take some rest and well-deserved sleep.

DAY 4: Today is a very exciting day as it is valentine's day and we are going to be doing some live broadcast and some of them is already recorded. as usual, we eat breakfast int he hotel and I get a message from Jaanvi wishing me happy Valentine's day and she hope I get a boyfriend at least by next valentine's day.

the live broadcast will be on their youtube channel and during the night it will play on tv. the first spot of today is none other than Eiffel Tower.  it is The most visited tourist attraction in Paris. Visitors can take an elevator or walk up the 360 steps to arrive at the first level (at 57 meters) and 344 more steps to the second level (at 115 meters). The outlooks from both the first and second levels are spectacular. To reach the top level, at the dizzying elevation of 276 meters, requires an exhilarating elevator ride from the second level. Visiting the top level is one of the most thrilling things to do in Paris, but it's not for the faint of heart.

we interview some people near the Eiffel tower and some of them very so polite. the interview takes about 2 hours and i met so many fans during the interview which is a great start for the day. it was hard to communicate with some people as I know only a little french.

the next stop of today is the Place of  Vosges. In the charming Marais district, the Place des Vosges in Paris' oldest public square, spaciously laid out an inharmoniously uniform style. This elegant square provided a model for other squares such as Place Vendôme and Place de la Concorde. we interview some people here also and I didn't forget to record clips for my vlog.

The last stop on the trips is Parc de la Villette. Covering 55 hectares, the Parc de la Villette is the largest landscaped green space in Paris. The park is brimming with attractions, including

children's playgrounds and the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie (Museum of Science and Technology). The park is also a  home to the Géode IMAX theater, the Zénith de Paris performance venue, and the Philharmonie de Paris concert halls. An outdoor film festival takes place in the park from mid-July to mid-August.

we go back to the hotel and I pack all my stuff and recheck if I left anything or not and I go down in a hurry as we have to leave for the airport. before going I thank the filming crew for their hard work these four days. I and Aarav board the plane and relax for another 10-hour flight back to India..
