Hello, I wanted to talk about fashion and art in regard to French culture.
I have been in France for almost three months and continue to learn new things every day. One of my main reasons for studying abroad here was to take full advantage of all the museums, including those dedicated to fashion, art, sculpture, history, etc., that are available to EU students. I have visited over 15 museums so far and still have a long list to go. Recently, I went to the Grand Palais, located in the heart of Paris, and was able to see the Dolce & Gabbana exhibition there. Though this exhibition wasn't free, it was offered at a reduced price for students, which was exactly what I wanted, being someone really into fashion and culture, which can be expressed through art.
Though I don't want to spoil it for those who might want to see it in the future, I will say that each room had its own ambiance, and when you walk in, you get a different feel for what’s happening. I would really recommend that if you're studying in France, or any country really, to take advantage of the free opportunities you have as a student, because there are so many hidden gems that you can access for free.
