In this thread, I asked for opinions and plans about what to do in Paris and Toulouse. Thanks all for your responses, I actually searched for those places, printed the thread along with the webpage (paris.org), and that was my guide during Paris.
In Toulouse, I visited different museums and strolled along the Garonne as advised. Very pretty, it was market day, and that Sunday they also had a parade of all the cities and towns in that area, each with typical song and clothes! I also stumbled upon a church in the middle of a mass, and I stayed for a while. Since I visited churches, I did not take pictures of them. I also got lost trying to find the bus station, but nothing that just following a bus wouldn’t solve. 
Paris was great! I quickly learned how to use the Metro, although I’m sure I took some long routes because I didn’t pay attention to some stops. But at least at the end of the day, I knew more than the teacher who supposedly knew everything about the city :rolleyes: . Concerning churches, I only went to Sacre-Coeur and St. Chapelle. In Sacre-Coeur, I climbed to the top and took a couple of pictures of the city. It was great, but very cold that morning and I had forgotten my jacket. I visited Pere Lachaise and walked around looking for the tombs of Piaf, Morrison, La Fontaine, and Abelarde and Heloise. I didn’t take a map with me, so I memorized the streets and divisions and every time I saw a tourist, I would ask in mangled French if I could please see their map to guide me. Everyone except for one rude couple let me see it. In some cases, I even knew enough French to help some people locate the graves! And I also found a sort of guide, that help me found the graves of Chopin and Piaf. Along the way, I also saw the tombs of Camille Picasso, Moliere, a young French soldier dead in WWI, a tomb honoring the Spanish soldiers in WWII, and different tombs honoring the French who died in concentration camps. Very great, I was there for two hours.
I next went to the Musée d’Orsay, and they had a great exhibition on daguerrotypes. I also toured the upper floor and had a nice time looking at the paintings. Interesting enough, when I bought the ticket to the museum, they didn’t even ask me if I was a student, they immediately charged me reduced ticket. Woohoo! Same thing happened in St. Chapelle, which was my last stop, and not as pretty as I would like due to the lack of sun. Still, I stayed there for almost an hour, trying to understand the stories. I was not successful, for the most part, even with the guide they had.
In terms to eat, thanks to whoever said crepes with Nutella and coconut. Oooh, that was yummy! Just made crepes, very warm, with lots of nutella and coconut shavings… melting in my mouth…
That night the group went to the Eiffel tower, and we watched the lights… a very pretty spectacle!
On other things, British Airways serves decent food for being an airline, and their bathrooms were clean.
Here are some pictures of the trip. Unfortunately, one of the cameras fell and broke, and every picture taken after that didn’t come out. In the other camera, I only had a handful of people pictures, and not all of them came out great, either. I decided the scenic views lost in the broken camera are just a sign that I have to go back to Paris and Toulouse and take them again.
