Rouge, Rouge, Rouge

Mon Amour,
You are known for your crepes, your history with art, architecture and music.  I always dreamt of traveling to France and it came true this past summer. Stepping outside the train and reading everything in French was a culture shock. We stayed in Paris and I fell in love with the city. Everywhere I look I saw beauty, love, and romance. I can't explain it but I was struck with  love. The people, the scenery, oh and the food. Je te desire! I felt sophisticated and artsy. In a way it inspired me to continue my interest in film and traveling. Now I want to learn more about art, architecture and photography. Merci Beaucoup.



Now France is popular to a lot tourist from everywhere. There's music, art, and of course delightful food on every corner. The romance that the scenery has to offer is to get lost in it. Here are some places to visit:
  • Basilica of the Sacre Coeur
  • Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris
  • The Eiffel Tower
  • The Palace of Versailles
  • Louvre Museum
  • The Pompidou Centre
I don't want to get in detail why these places I recommend but I'll tell you this. Each one of them have a very interesting history that I will let you discover on your own.




A review of the Red Balloon by  The New York Times.



The movie that I selected was the Red Balloon directed by Albert Lamorisse. Monsieur Lamorisse was known because of his short films and documentaries. Sadly he passed away while filming one of his documentaries. He was won Oscars and other awards for his films. This particular one was the that opened the door to film making. His son played the part of the little boy. This film is about a relationship between a boy and a balloon. Instead of befriending a dog or cat the boy connects with this red abandoned balloon.
