why i wish i was under 26
upon exiting the metro, i saw a sign. i took a picture of it with my cell phone, but the picture is pretty much just glare, and i can't seem to get it to my computer anyway, so i'm just going to tell you about it...
the poster informed me that since april 4th, those of you lucky enough to be under 26 get to do something that i don't.
what is that you ask?
get into a bunch of museums for free, of course!
not that i'm bitter.
you can find a list of them in french at www.culture.gouv.fr
the only thing i'm NOT sure of is if this applies to ALL "yoots" or just those of the EU.
so if you head to one of these museums and get in for free, send us an email and let us know! i've been nosing around some forums, but there seems to be some debate about whether this applies to the rest of us that don't belong to the EU.
(UPDATE: apparently, those of us that do not have EU passports are still eligible for free entry as long as we have a 'carte de séjour' or 'titre de séjour' (indicating you are legally living in france) and b) you fall within the 18-under 26 age bracket. i'm not sure that this is actually the case, but it's worth a try! )
