Paris Story, Perfumery Museum, and Chocolate Museum !

Yeah! Today was the first day in Paris, and we all decided to see the opera house. We took trains to the Opera house and we went in to get our tickets. When we were there somebody in the ticket booth told us the guided tours were all full, we still got our tickets and we made tour reservations for the next day. So we all went outside and we went to the next thing on our list, which was the Paris Story. We entered a small building, and waited until it was time to go into the theater to learn about Paris and how the city got its name. In the theater we saw a film that showed many beautiful places in Paris like the Eiffel Tower, Museum of Music, and so much more. Many times in the film there was happy scenes and the joy of laughter. However, when the Revolutionary War broke out many lives and many famous buildings burnt.  After the War the people of Paris helped raise money to build there theaters and cathedrals back to their original state. When the film ended we walked out of the building on to the street to the Perfumery Museum. At the Perfumery you got to smell lots of different flavors of perfume like coconut, pineapple, black licorice and lots more. 

Next we went to the shop and we looked around until we were ready to have lunch. We had lunch on the stairs leading into the Opera House. We were accompanied by a man singing, it sounded beautiful! We took a break and listened to the man sing. Lastly before heading home we walked to the Chocolate Museum. When you entered the doors you felt like you were in heaven it smelled mouth watering. My dad got our tickets while the rest of us had samples of white, dark, and milk chocolate. There was an activity sheet for kids to do and then earn a prize if you got it right. We took the activity sheet and we went on three floors and pasted stickers in the right place. We finished our sheets and we just made it at the right time because a guy was going to show us how the chocolate was made in shapes. The guy showed us how to do fill the plastics figures with chocolate and then cool for 15 minutes and then eat. For a treat the guy let us try Costa Rica chocolate and many other kinds. When he finished his presentation he showed us the exit and we went upstairs and handed in our sheets. My brother, sister and I all got it right so we got a choice of a chocolate lollipop. I chose dark chocolate. 
After we left we went on our train  to the hostel, to get our stuff and then took a train to go to our apartment. When we got to the apartment we settled our stuff and then we went to get our groceries for dinner and breakfast.
