Some scenery in books is so breathtaking that you wish you could see it in real life. Well, fortunately with Anna and the French Kiss, you CAN see it in real life.

Like I said in my review, I went to France about two years ago, and it was absolutely amazing. So, I took quotes from Anna and the French Kiss and paired them with my photos of the actual places. I hope you enjoy them!

Visual Tour of Anna and the French Kiss

“…I have ridden the elevators to the top of La Tour Eiffel…”

“…I have walked the viewing platform of L’Arc de Triomphe…”

“I still want to ride one of those Ferris Wheels they set up along the Champs-Elsees.”

“The art museum is called the Louvre and it’s shaped like a pyramid and the Mona Lisa lives there along with that statue of the woman missing her arms.”

Venus de Milo (aka Lady with no Arms)

“We turn a corner and – there it is – the River Seine. The lights of the city bob in the ripples of the water.”

“And there, as we’re turning our attention back toward the river, I see it. Notre Dame. I recognize it from the photographs, of course. But if St-Etienne is a cathedral then it is nothing, NOTHING compared to Notre Dame.”

“La Jardin du Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Gardens, is busy today…”
