1931

One day on December 13th, the group had their photograph taken at the Eiffel Tower. They walked along the Seine River. Sightseeing through Paris, they went to the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Gare de Lyons, and drove down the Champs Elysees. Baba bought a new coat at the Galleries Lafayette. That evening, they went to the Madeleine Cinema to see the movie Trader Horn.

September, 1937

While in Paris, Baba took the women sightseeing, taking a boat ride down the Seine, visiting the Art and Technical Exhibition which was being held at the time, and also the Cathedral of Notre Dame. But wherever they went, there were always so many men about that the Eastern women had to pass by these places with their heads bowed and did not view any of the sights of interest. "It was more like sidewalk seeing than sight-seeing," as one woman put it.
