AMIENS, FRANCE: The Gothic Cathedral
this is probably the best place in France that I would love to see over and over again. The Cathedral in Amiens is amazing,
because of its overwhelming
architecture. It is so vast and it contains so much art and even history, that everysingle place that I cast my eye on is so
perfect. There are also very few tourists in this place, so it's worth the time to check out. Unfortunately, this place is
in the middle of nowhere and is about 1.5 hours away from Paris.
This cathedral is far better than the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, but however, if you wish to go at the top of the
cathedral, be sure to drink plenty of water and that you're not afraid of heights. It's quite a hike.

NICE, FRANCE
An okay place to go. The beach is rocky not sandy, the water is cold, the sky was suppose to be blue, but it was gray when
we visited.... I think I rather freeze my hinee in San Francisco.
