France - 03/10-19/05

After England, I went to France. I spent the first part of France in Paris. I definitely loved walking around Paris, especially around the mall and going up the Eiffel Tower. Once I heard that it was cold in France, I decided to go to Chamonix instead of Nice.

After Paris, I took an overnight train ride to Chamonix. It was such a beautiful town with the French Alps rising right above you. There were insane views ofMont Blanc, Aiguille Du Midi, and the Mer de Glace. I spent the entire time skiing at Le Brevent, Le Tour, La Flegere, and Les Grands Montets, which was actually in Argentiere. Everything went extremely well except when I missed my train back to Paris, which obviously made me miss my flight back to the states. I left the next morning and slept one night in Charles De Gualle Airport and was able to somehow get on a flight back to Newark. My family met me for a few hours in Newark before I flew again back to Seattle.
