Nini: *I grab your hand and kiss your cheek* Ready
Ricky: *we start walking* can I bore you with some history of the place?
Nini: I'm all ears
Ricky: English or French
Nini: Mmmm French
Ricky: Le jardin des Tuileries tire son nom des usines de tuiles qui se trouvaient à l'endroit où la reine Catherine de Médicis fit construire le palais des Tuileries en 1564, aujourd'hui disparu.  Le célèbre jardinier du roi, André Le Nôtre, lui a donné à partir de 1664 son aspect actuel de jardin à la française.  Le jardin, qui sépare le musée du Louvre de la place de la Concorde, est un lieu de promenade et de culture pour les parisiens et les touristes, où les statues de Maillol côtoient celles de Rodin ou de Giacometti.  Les deux piscines sont idéales pour la détente.  Le musée de l'Orangerie, dans lequel les visiteurs peuvent admirer les œuvres de Monet, est situé au sud-ouest des Tuileries.
( The Tuileries Garden takes its name from the tile factories that stood at the place where Queen Catherine de Medici had the Tuileries Palace built in 1564, which has now disappeared.  The famous gardener of the king, André Le Nôtre, gave it from 1664 its current aspect of French garden.  The garden, which separates the Louvre museum from the Place de la Concorde, is a place of stroll and culture for Parisians and tourists, where the statues of Maillol sit alongside those of Rodin or Giacometti.  The two pools are ideal for relaxation.  The Orangery Museum, in which visitors can admire works by Monet, is located to the south-west of the Tuileries.)
Nini: *smiles* That was amazing
Ricky: I guess I'm kind of a history nerd
Nini: Well that's freaking adorable
Ricky: what about you? Any weird hobbies?
Nini: I like to sing sometimes
Ricky: you can sing?
Nini: Mhm, and write songs
Ricky: that's so cool! I want to hear one!
Nini: Not yet. That only happens on date number two
Ricky: then I guess I'll have to wait
Nini: *smiles* What was your first impression of me?
Ricky: "eh bien elle n'est pas d'ici"... well she's not from around here *laughs a little*
