A Visit to Paris

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria, but everyone calls me Vicky. I am 8 years old and I want to tell you about my recent trip to Paris. It was sooo exciting!

Paris is a beautiful city in France. It is famous for many things, like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. But, do you know who Alice Maher is? Well, she is a famous artist from Ireland, and I got to see one of her amazing sculptures while I was in Paris!

My family and I visited the Jardin des Tuileries, which is a big and beautiful garden in Paris. Inside the garden, there was a special exhibition with Alice Maher's artwork. One of her sculptures was called "The Watcher," and it was so cool! It looked like a big, mysterious creature made out of branches and leaves. It made me feel like I was in a magical forest!

The sculpture was so big that I could walk around it and touch some parts of it. It was like nothing I had ever seen before! I even took a picture with it to show my friends back home. I think they will be really jealous!
