I (Peggy) will be writing the blog today since Steven has gone home for his mom's birthday (Happy birthday!!!)
It's been a very long week for the both of us. It all started this weekend...
On Saturday Steven and I visited a few things and one of them was Galeries Lafayette, very famous in Paris for shopping.

On Sunday we decided to go with all the Belgians to the Sacré Coeur. It was a little bit cold but great! We walked the stair to the Sacré Coeur and after that we visited Place du Terte where a lot of Parisian artists show their art. You can also let one make a painting of you. Very nice and warm atmosphere!
Next we went to the Moulin Rouge. Next to the Moulin there was an English pub and we sat outside in the sun to get a drink. Really great!! This is what we love about Paris! Here are some pictures!

So as you can see we've had a great weekend. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as we both do!
Wednesday February 20 a historical day for the media in Paris: Metro celebrates his 6th birthday!! And guess who were invited!!! (I love MPG!!)
So Wednesday evening, after celebrating Laurence's birthday we took off for a second birthday party. Almost next to the Champs Elysée we saw large group of people standing outside. But the outside is nothing compared to the inside! This is what Paris is all about :)
Al lot of people, free drinks, free food and great music! It coudn't be better... A lot of people of MPG were there but also Marijke, a former Plantijn student who stayed in Paris after her internship with, yes... MPG!
Here are the pics:
