Vive la France!



Written by: ѕнαуиα♪

Recently, I've been to France. I was extrememly excited when I saw that Ameba Pico had made a new French area. I'll tell you all about the French area new to Pico!

Clothes:
Out of everything in Pico (and I do mean thing, not people), I'd have to say the clothing is my favorite. Although it's not nearly as cute as Ameba Pigg's, it's a lot more affordable. They have some new clothes in the two French Areas.

(Pleaseee, Pleasee Pico! Lower the price! I'm begging you!!)



Areas:
The two areas in France are Champs-Élysées and Paris Café. If you stay long enough in Champs-Élysées you'll catch an outdoor fashion show. "The Designer" will walk out in the end with two of his models, and a store will open with some of the clothes you've seen.

Ameba Pico has put a lot of attention into the details of these areas - from the clothing displays in the boutique windows to the little 'Café Bistro Merci' sign in the picture to the right. →

If you attend the café, you MUST take a seat. The waiter will soon come and give you a glass of water. You then, click on it and you'll have a nice refreshing glass of H20 (my little science geek side, so impressive, right?).



Food:
If you've been to France you know that their food is magnifique. And as you can see, Pico was focused on impressing. Chocolates, croissants, French coffee, crème brûlée, etc.).

A package of ten is 270 gummies, five for 140 gummies. I have bought everything they have ... I love it! It's so unique! What other game do you play that you can have some French coffee and some crème brûlée as a snack? Sitting inside the Paris Café having a little snack on my break from blogging.



As you can see, you have to get your butt down to France! Who knows the possibilities that can come next!

P.S. You get Gummies and a Star Collection star for viewing the fashion show in Champs-Élysées and getting served water in Paris Café.

Bienvenue en France!


Bonjour, mes amis!

On Friday, March 18, one of western Europe's oldest countries has become part of our Pico world. FRANCE is finally here for all of us to enjoy, MAGNIFIQUE!!!

L'Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a renowned avenue in Paris, France. It is well-known for its cinemas, cafés, and luxurious boutiques. Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous (and prestigious) streets in the world!

Strolling down l'avenue Catero and I enjoyed breathing in the afternoon air as we viewed the beautiful Romanesque architecture that adorns both sides of the boulevard.

We took in the many museums that Champs-Élysées leads you to - the most famous of which is Musée du Louvre (the Louvre Museum), where you can find the timeless and very famous 16th-century portrait of the Mona Lisa by the unmistakable Leonardo da Vinci.

On our tour of Champs-Élysées the many churches, cathedrals and châteaux were part of our must see landmarks.

Along the way we came upon a variety of classic French boutiques and shops where French fashion, interior and a variety of traditional food and drinks can be purchased.



Vocabulary for shopping:
Here are the French words for common types of shop to help you on your shopping trip around the Champs-Élysées:
