The future & Hair sex

About mid-August, I started touring culinary/pâtisserie schools in Paris. Le Cordon Bleu, Gregoire Ferrandi, and other top names. I decided that I should probably take photos to document the squalid campuses and otherwise :)

Ecole de la Boulangerie et Pâtisserie, Bercy
Really beautiful "campus" next to Bercy Village & Parc de Bercy -- :)
The registrar was not very helpful or beautiful though. . .



Ecole de Paris de Metiers de La Table
Located in the 17th, this campus seemed cold and sterile to me, but George liked it. I'll say that the neighborhood is nice, very corporate and whatnot, but it didn't really speak to me.





Ecole Mederic, Lycée Jean Drouant
Also located in the 17th, this school is quite quaint, though also unhelpful.
I could tell that French administration is going to be a blast to deal with. A BLAST.









After touring schools, George and I went to see the new edition of Avatar.
My first time, his fourth time (?).
You can see who out of the two of us is the biggest nerd.
It was a special edition with special scenes added.
Scenes like hair sex.


I'm going to miss being able to spend time with Georgey and being a metro stop
away from beautiful things -- but all that sentiment I'll save for my final post of photos for my bon voyage at the bakery --- my flight is in 5 hours and my shuttle to the airport in one hour. . . .
I'll be saying my goodbyes to this city very soon.
