Did you know that the street plan of our nation's capital, Washington D.C., was designed by a Frenchman? Read the following article by the Smithsonian Magazine: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/brief-history-of-lenfant.html
Then look at the following two maps. The first is one of Paris and the second is of D.C. Do you notice some similarities? Any differences? Post your thoughts in a comment and don't forget to respond to a classmate as well.
