Places I Hope to See

The Lourve

Sadly, I missed out on seeing the Lourve on my two visits to France. Home to some of the world's most famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa or The Wedding at Cana, the Lourve is France's most famous museum.

Nice

A city in the French Riveria, Nice is home to stunning architecture and beautiful beaches. Though I've never made it particularly far outside of Paris, I've always hoped to spend some time in the south of France.

Cannes

Also in the south of France, Cannes is a small town on the French Riveria, made famous as the location of the Cannes Film Festival. I have always wanted to venture to the south of France, and have a dream of someday attending the Cannes Lions Film Festival. In fact, the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia facilitates a study abroad program every summer in which a handful of students are sent to Cannes for the festival. I intend on applying to this program in the future, and hopefully seeing Cannes for myself someday.

Normandy

Normandy is a region of north-west France. Characterized by its rolling hills, beautiful beaches, and magnificnet castles and structures, Normandy is a gorgeous region of the French countryside. Personally, I believe that Normandy provides a lovely contrast to the bustling city of Paris at the heart of France and the lavish beach towns to the south. To me, Normandy exemplifies tranquility and history.
