This week, I walked from the Pantheon to the Philharmonie. We walked along the Seine and past people playing pétanque, a lawn game that you might know as bocce. For the game, two teams of two take throw metal balls the size of large apples at a small wooden ball, about the size of a ping pong ball. The team whose metal ball is closest to the small ball at the end of the round earns points.
I've stayed within Paris for most of my journey, but I've started practicing hiking with my big backpack for a walking trip coming up in May. I'll be walking from Le Puy en Velay toward Spain with my family!
I took the metro and RER a few times. This Sunday, I walked to the Centre Pompidou, French the national modern art museum, from the Luxembourg Garden, which took about 30 minutes.
I visited the Vasarely Sharing Forms exhibit in the Centre Pompidou this week. Vasarely's artwork is almost dizzying, with its vibrant colors and shapes. Who's your favorite artist?
