French themed Day Outing

I love to go on adventures with my daughter who is 8. Recently she has been harboring a Paris obsession, so I decided to plan a France themed outing for us.

For extra fun, dress French by pairing breton stripes with slacks or a skirt, sport oversized sunglasses, ballet pumps, and hey - red lipstick! But really anything classic will do!

Then get in the mood by listening to some French Pop music in the car!

Here are some ideas to find a little Paris in your city:
1. Check out Impressionism or other French art at your local art museum by French artists such as Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro.

2. Lunch at a French cafe or Creperie. My daughter loves Nutella Crepes!

3. Find a bakery that sells Macrons. (This was a true adventure!  Two Macaron bakeries were out of business when we arrived and the French Cafe didn't have them. But finally, we prevailed at the Sweet Hut Atlanta).
