Elijah writes - these cheeses are so so yummy. I like the gold one the best. Its flavour is cheddar cheese. you have to be careful unwrapping them so that they don't go mushy...

The beautiful Place des Vosges - Victor Hugo's view for a time...

Elijah writes - the photo above was Victor Hugo's bedroom. Its amazing to think that this is actually where this amazing person slept in here. 

He had to go away from France for a long time... Napoleon made him do it.

Hamish writes - I found some cool decorations on the top of short poles on our walk from Victor Hugo's house to Pompidou (a museum of modern art). There was a cat, a man with headphones, a man with a top hat and others too... 

The Stravinsky Fountain was colourful and fun... a bit of whimsy in a city full of grandeur and formality

Sending a little love to all the people we miss in Australia...

 

Two buildings with interesting exteriors. 

Pompidou below is inside out and the building above is really unusual with its intricate metal façade  

We loved the Paris passages with Christmas lights and interesting and sometimes quirky shops...
