As busy Fashion Week came to an end, week four in Paris was the perfect time to take a step back and reflect on my experience. As my time in Paris came to an end, I wanted to explore the city one last time. My program included a few free days, so it was the perfect time to do some sightseeing. In just a couple of days, I visited the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacré-Cœur, Champs-Élysées, the Louis Vuitton Foundation to see the Museum of Modern Art and much more. Every museum and monument in Paris is so beautiful.
My last week was also a great time to think back on the time I spent in Paris and everything I learned abroad. I learned so much about French culture, history, language and much more. Living in Paris for a month really gave me a new perspective.
I went in with an open mind and came out with so many unforgettable experiences. I learned some French and improved my photography skills through my two photography courses. Being immersed in a different culture really gave me a new outlook on life. I was able to try new foods, learn a new language and see a new culture. Studying abroad in Paris, France was the most incredible experience and I am so thankful for the opportunity.
