We’re back from France! We saw everything from the snowy mountaintops of the Alps to small cafés lining the streets of Paris. If she could have, Sofia would have stopped in every café to try the sweet treats, like crêpes and profiteroles (cream puffs)!

I like all the parks. There are hundreds of green spaces in Paris. I like riding my bike in the park, especially when my friends are there too.
I like to play a game that’s like what you call “tag.” We call it chat (which means “cat”). The person who chases is the cat, and everyone else is a mouse.
Over the summer, I visited my grandparents who live in the south in a town called Aix-en-Provence. That is a very old town with lots of historic buildings. We took a drive to see lavender farms. The fields of lavender smelled so nice. Purple is my favorite color, so I took a lot of pictures!
Sometimes we visit Aix-en-Provence in December when there are Christmas markets and pretty decorations along Cours Mirabeau, the main shopping street.
