Hi I'm Blaise Miller.  Because my school is an international online academy, I get to travel around the world with my family.  I've seen so many places, and I'm excited to share fun trip ideas.  One of my favorite souvenirs is to get a charm to remember each place I've been.  I've put mine on a necklace.&nbs

VIP Room Theater

Situated right in the heart of Paris in front of the garden of the Tuileries, this club of 2000 M2 belongs to Jean Rock, celebrated owner of 3 VIP ROOMs (Paris - Saint Tropez - Cannes).

Every celebrity who passes through Paris visits the VIP ROOM.  It's THE place to be seen!

The musical programming of the VIP ROOM is rather eclectic: from the R*B to House with bend by the techno.

Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Marie Antoinette?  Well you might think I am referring to something glamorous but actually, this former palace turned prison was where Marie Antoinette spent her last days.  Many people before guillotined were imprisoned in this Gothic structure.  This historical sight is one that all French history enthusiasts should see and it has a great exhibition in the rooms that were used as prison cells.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

This famous cathedral is located on the Île de la Cité. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture.  It is an important stop for any teen sightseer.  Some of the most important moments in French history have taken place inside the cathedral.  It is also where Victor Hugo based The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Columbus Café: Study Time in Paris

It's exam season for many Parisian students, which means it's time to hit the bibliotheque, take the cap off the highlighter and crack open that unusually large text book. Well, maybe if it was a couple of years ago the bibliotheques would be swarming with students but we're in the age of Powerbook laptops, and Wi-Fi internet access. Columbus Café has enough seats to huddle together for a group study session and enough chocolat chauds or jus d'oranges to keep you energized.

Fafi: She's Got it!

Today graffiti is an artistic style, both respected and learned. And don't think that NYC is the hometown of graffiti, no, there is a new graffiti tigress on the block and she's a Parisian.

Truth is, she isn't that new. Fafi is the name of the game. She was born and raised in Toulouse, France where her outrageous female cartoons were first noticed in 1994. Her color palette is wild and just as blazing as Rainbow Brite.

Fafi has created a new species of female cartoons. Her little spitfires are voluptuous and full of attitude.

Once her work was noticed she continued to spread the paint all around the world: Europe, USA, Japan, and China. She takes with her a team of graffitists called, Fafinettes!

It's a Fafi world out there. Her recent work can be seen in the designs for LeSportSac, Adidas, Coca-Cola, numerous fashion magazines, and the new Mark Ronson music video; where she created a Fafi-ed Lily Allen character that seems to be a play off of the seductress, Jessica Rabbit.

More importantly, Fafi is giving power to the women.

This is one of the most amazing department stores in the world.  It is always cutting edge with the designers it carries (both international and homegrown French designers).  There are plenty of floors to explore and tons of styles to pick from.  They have everything for both men and women: clothes, accessories, cafe, and a new floor opening dedicated to souvenirs.  Also a fun thing to go to is their weekly fashion show at 3 pm on Fridays.  Some of their merchandise can be a bit pricey but they do always have great sales.  While shopping at Galeries Lafayett
