On Thursday night I went to meet Ross, Simon, Zoe and Hillary at the Grand Mosquée de Paris to enjoy some mint tea and tajine (meat stewed with prunes, almonds, onions, veggies and served with couscous). Unfortunately we were unable to go into the mosque, as it had already closed, but the restaurant is still beautiful and the food was delicious.
The roses in the garden are HUGE!
Firstly we wandered through the outdoor exhibit, which includes many famous statues including 'The Three Shades'.
We then went to the very back of the garden and enjoyed sitting by the pond for a while. I also found some ducks :)
We then went into the actual museum, which is in an old house. My favourite pieces were The Martyr, the hands, and a portrait by Van Gogh.
Definitely worth a visit!!
After dinner we went to Jake's apartment in Le Marais for a few drinks before heading home for some much-needed sleep!
Then on Friday I went to visit the Musée Rodin, which I never got to with Mum and Chelsea given that it turned out to be closed on Mondays! It was incredible, definitely one of my favourite museums in Paris. You walk in and find the most beautiful gardens, with the statue of 'La Penseur' (i.e. The Thinker) right in the middle.
