There is also a part for adults. That is the art museum. It is small but you can still look at things! If you stay for lunch it would be best to bring your own because the prices at that park are a little high and there is no "good for you food" at the park. But there are still things to eat there!

In bakeries these kind of cookies are expensive. They are about 4 to 5 euros. And now I understand why.  I have made these and it is a lot of work. These are the basic steps:

Step one: You have to make the filling and to do that you have to mix together the flavors you want the filling to be, put it in a pastry bag and put that in the fridge.

Step 2: You have to make the cookie part. These are the ingredients: egg whites, ground almonds and sugar. You put all that into a bowl and mix ( you have to have really good muscles for this) and put it into the oven. It might sound easy but it isn't. That is why they are so expensive in bakeries!

This is a good place to bring children ( they will think it a really cool exhibit) but not kids in a stroller or kids that are under 3 ( I have experienced it when we went there and  Lise was 1 or 2 years old ) they might be scared or if you have a stroller have you ever tried walking down steps with one? It is hard! So don't bring a stroller either if you can't bring it down steps!

FACTS ABOUT THIS PLACE:

The bones in this place are the bones of people from france from late 1800s to early 1900s and most of them are full skeletons if they have not crumbled because that exact place is where the people were buried so it is not just a passing exhibit. It has been there for a long time. Well that is enough for now. Bye!

The artists paint a lot of paintings of a sunset behind this place's church thats tops look like whipped cream or a sunset behind the Eiffel Tower. You also might see some street musicians or once I saw a band. So you will definitely hear music around there. And there are also wonderful bakeries there. This is the first "Guess The Name Twist Treasure Hunt." It is so much fun! But one thing I wonder about is if you live there and you have a baby in a stroller than how do you get around? That is a question for you to think about. Bye for now!

Now there is a carnival and I'm sure Marie and Andre would not have wanted that!
