What main languages are spoken here?:

The main language spoken is French. However, because there are so many tourists it is easy to find a different language. There were English pamphlets and exhibits in each museum. Every restaurant also had servers that spoke English. 

What type of money is used here?:

Here they use the Euro just like in Aix-en-Provence!

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

The cost of a bottle of water in Paris depends on where you buy it. If you buy it at a convenience store in a less touristy area, it will be about $1.15. If you are in a touristy area and buy water it could be up to $6. This price difference doesn't stop at water either. Almost everything is more expensive, or trop cher, in the areas with more tourists. 

What was the best meal this week?:

The best meal I ate in Paris was on my very first night. I was with my best friend and we were meeting someone she knows that lives in Paris. We went to a café near the Notre Dame. I had the perfect view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance. I ordered pasta with red sauce, pesto, tomatoes and parmesan cheese. The pasta might not have been the best in the world but the view and the company made it the best meal!

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to a lot of street performers this week. The main musicians on the streets of Paris play violin or accordian.
