My third week in Paris was rich with art and history as we explored the many museums the city has to offer. On Wednesday, we visited the Louvre and saw the famous Mona Lisa portrait. On Thursday, we got to observe the works of Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet in the Musee d’Orsay. On Saturday, we took the train to see the intricate designs in the Palace of Versailles. As a whole, this week taught us that France has a very deep history and culture. The style of French art and architecture has evolved through the years from Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance to contemporary and modern art. As future nurses, understanding a country’s historical and cultural roots is essential in the healthcare setting.
