Then we had a picnic on the Pont des Arts, which is a pedestrian bridge over the Seine near the Louvre. It was vraiment (truly) French with 5 baguettes, mirabels (a small plumb), cheese, nutella, and of course, cheap wine. Check out the beautiful sunset:
After the picnic, we walked over to the Louvre. It was such a perfect time of day to be there. Everything looked even more incredible than usual. And, to top it all off, there's a man who plays his cello there in the evenings. It's like something out of a movie.
That night we went to a caberet called the Lapin Agile, which a gather used to be a pretty happening place. We were basically required to go by our academic program in order to complete an assignment for Monday. I was always under the impression that cabaret involved a lot of half dressed women in fishnets. After seeing the middle-aged men and women performing, I was happy to see that cabaret has more than one definition. These performers sang old French drinking songs, which was fun for about a half hour. When we found out the show typically lasts until 2am, we left at our first chance. At least it's something I can add to my list of French experiences.
