Sustainability in Paris Museums

By Austin Ogden

Alas! We are in Paris! The first night we were in Paris we wandered our way to the Eiffel Tower for two hours in the rain. About halfway to the Eiffel Tower we stopped, took a break, took a group picture and were back on our way. Eventually we walked up to the masterpiece and just sat there in awe. Although we were soaking wet, every step was worth it in the end.

After walking around the Eiffel Tower, we took another group picture and then went and got crepes (which are the best crepes I’ve ever had).

The next day we went to the Musée de Quai Branley, which is a multi-cultural museum that exhibits artifacts from non-western countries. While we were there we studied how well they used elements of environmental, social and economic sustainability. Later that night, a few of us went to a cafe right by our hotel and had some of the best food we’ve ever experienced. I had a Penne Alfredo pasta with truffles.

Overall, the first two nights in Paris were a success!
