Ma première visite à Paris
L'année dernière, je suis allée à Paris avec mes amis. Nous avons visité la Tour Eiffel et nous avons mangé des croissants délicieux dans un petit café. Le soir, nous avons marché le long de la Seine. Paris est très belle et romantique. J'ai pris beaucoup de photos. Je veux retourner à Paris l'année prochaine.
