Books About Paris

Every year, my family goes to another country during the December holidays. But... we have a family tradition that every year, my sister and I will not know where we are going until 2 weeks before we leave! Then, our parents will get us books and we will do research on that country and make PowerPoint slides about that country.

The reveal for 2023 was France! We went to the Alps and Paris, but in this review we will mostly talk about Paris. The parts I loved most about the trip was going to the Louvre (Loove), The Palace at Versailles (Versigh) and eating French pastries!

My sister was 7 when she read these books and I was 9.

On to the books about Paris:

Who Was Marie Antoinette?

I don't think this was really a guide, it was more of a 'learn about this person' type of book. I loved it though. I learnt a lot about Marie Antoinette and I kind of feel sorry for her, as she was exucuted purely because the French did not like the royals. I feel like she should have paid more attention to the peasants though. I love learning about the history of royals and their downfalls, for example, King Henry the VIII and his 7 wives. (I think it is 7. I am not sure).
