With so much to do in Paris, I haven't had much time to update this blog. So I'll star from about a week ago and update with what I've done. The first thing to talk about is Place Vendôme. The thing is that Place Vendôme is not a touristy place. In fact, there's not a lot to do there...except if you're rich. Place Vendôme is home to
the Ritz, Chanel, Dior and various high end boutiques. It also happens to be the last area Princess Diana was in before she died and was also filmed in the movie
The Da Vinci Code. Compared to other areas of Paris, it's more or less deserted, probably because most people
can't afford to shop or stay there and that's the only things to do there. However, I wanted to see Place Vendôme because it is famous among Parisians. It's a status symbol in Paris to say you live, work or shop in Place Vendôme. So, I went with my friend, Christine, and we walked around for a few minutes then went to the next metro stop, Châtelet, where we could actually afford to buy things. As a sidenote, Châtelet is the largest subway station in the world. So, without further ado, the picture on the right is of Place Vendôme and on the left is the entrance to the Ritz, which I highly recommend if you have 900 euros and don't know what to do with it.
