Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer



Colette is going on the trip of a life time.  In fact, she’s orchestrated a significant part of her life in order to be able to take this trip.  But, it may just be the death of her.

Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender is an opportunity to explore Paris, history and life through Colette Iselin’s eyes.

The problem? Those eyes are seeing the ghost of Marie Antoinette and she seems to want Colette dead.
Colette’s trip itinerary is listed below.  Each site has a link to a short tour of the area.  Chose the attraction that appeals the most to you and research it’s more colorful history. (ghost sightings, murders, general debauchery and mayhem)

Itinerary

If you could travel any place in the world and spend a week, where would it be?  Why?

Put together a full travel itinerary.  When would you go?  How would you get there?  What sights would you see and when?

What is your budget? Include the cost of transportation, admissions, hotel, food, and souvenirs.

If you were going to make this trip actually happen how would you have to budget and prepare for it?

If you choose France, don’t forget to learn a little of the language from sights suggested here and here.

Marie Antoinette was a true fashionista. If you were a fashion designer at the time, what kind of dress, or shoes would you design for her?

Or, perhaps you’d rather research the guillotine.

Let’s talk actual ghost sightings:

Now, put on a pot of Mathilde’s Pot au Feu and try your own hand at ghost hunting with the help of Ghost Hunting for Beginners or The Everything Guide to Ghost Hunting.

Personally, we’re saving up for one of these ghost hunting starter kits.
