Montmartre & Barbies!

Today, we took a walking tour of Montmartre. This neighborhood is located on a hill, where you can see a beautiful view of Paris! This city is filled with art, history, and a few beautiful churches. The movie Amélie was filled here in Montmartre. We were able to eat in the very cafe where she works. Also, the famous Dalida lived here! Additionally, many famous and not so famous artists lived in Montmartre because it was a cheap place to live.

You know you're in Montmartre when you see this many stairs

Some of us went to the Barbie exhibit. I felt 6 years old again haha. The exhibit displays Barbies from different moments in history, as well as Barbie doing different activities and jobs. The objective of Barbie was to allow young girls to “imagine their future as women outside motherhood and family life.”
