Paris, Day 6: Place des Vosges and Musée Carnavalet

Originally published on January 12, 2014this blog post series is an undergraduate short-term study abroad trip in Paris, France in partnership with Salve Regina University and AIFS Abroad. The blog post may have been edited for clarity and updated with relevant travel information and links.

We ended up in Le Marais on Saturday to see La Place des Vosges and Victor Hugo’s apartment (Maison de Victor Hugo). After being in Paris for almost one week, it’s become quite clear that Le Marais is one of the go-to places in the city for everything—shopping, eating, and sightseeing.

After visiting Victor Hugo’s apartment, we walked around the area and headed to Musée Carnavalet. There were good historical exhibitions with interesting cultural artifacts. I want to go back to see the temporary exhibit, Roman d’Une Garde-Robe, in partnership with Palais Galliera, La Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.

We grabbed lunch in the Jewish district, then headed back to the FIAP. A successful first Saturday in Paris…
