A portrait of Émilie du Châtelet in the Cabinet of Enlightenment in Musée Carnavalet! 💙
(She was opposite Voltaire's portrait on the other side of the room. Unfortunately, there wasn't a plague or anything with her name on it, if I didn't know her or wouldn't recognise her portrait I wouldn't have known who she was:( that should be fixed!)

some fun things that me & my cousin did in paris while he came to visit:
- visit the catacombs of paris. really cool! not only do you get to see walls of real human skulls, there’s also morbid poetry by historical figures to go along with it :)
- attempt the world’s first 2-person celeste speedrun à la piano four hands (spoiler: it’s not very speed)
- compare the prices of every boba shop in a 200m radius around us before the disillusioned realisation that they’re all equally overpriced hits 
- we still got boba tho🤭
- in a pull&bear we spotted a pink baseball cap that said “great fan”. we chose to interpret this as referring to an electric fan of considerable size
- a running joke is created
- went to the galeries lafayette: came for the windowshopping experience, stayed for the magnificent ceiling dome (got the pic from google)
- visit the musée carnavalet, a museum of the history of paris. it’s probably one of the best museums in paris: free entrance for all, 4 floors worth of artifacts dating from antiquity to the contemporary age, some really really famous and historically significant pieces, especially of the french revolution era, like THE déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen(!!) the garden is super lovely as well
- walk through the bois de boulogne forest to the arc de triomphe, then proceeding to climb it—you get a pretty nice view of the 12 radiating avenues and a bunch of paris landmarks
- go on what was probably the most useless supermarket run ever: i got a pack of sandwiches and my cousin got a pack of gum that literally cost the same price. guess which one we ended up eating for lunch that day (somebody call bella hadid)
- waited in line to enter the “quirky” and “legendary” shakespeare & company bookshop. im lowkey salty that it’s no longer niche and probably tiktok famous now cause 2 years ago the idea that you’d have to queue to get in was completely absurd
- on a positive note: we hogged the piano for like 20 mins lmao. one pedal was busted but they had the sheet for tchaikovsky’s june so it’s a slay for me 💅
- oh we also played the piano in the aforementioned supermarket. cause it’s totally normal to have a piano lying around in a supermarket here
- bought matching plushies at miniso! we of course named them “great” and “fan”
