The first trip I took was in October, as part of a field trip with my European City in Lit and Film class. We visited the Bonne Marche department store, Gallery Lafayette, Musee D&#8217;Orsay, and the Marais District of Paris, where we learned about Jewish culture and history in the Parisian landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend, I took a train to Paris to visit my family, who&#8217;d come all the way across the world just to see my face. We went to Disneyland Paris and watched an episode of the new Gilmore Girls.<\/p>\n<p>And now, I venture this weekend with my Medieval Art and Architecture class, led by the lovely and extremely enthusiastic Yumna Masarwa, whose energy and personality I hope I never forget for as long as I live. We&#8217;ll visit Saint-Denis, Notre Dame, and my favorite of all Parisian Gothic structures, Sainte-Chapelle, reliquary chapel to King Louis the IX in the 13th century. I&#8217;m ecstatic to finally see the remarkable stained glass I learned so much about in Dr. Dennis&#8217; intro&nbsp;art history course roughly a year and a half ago, but I&#8217;m also ecstatic that with each trip to this magnificent city, I experience something completely different from the last trip. Paris is vast enough to make you see its Haussmann-ed streets in a new light with every visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This coming Friday, I will leave for my third weekend trip to Paris.
