His father is friends with the captain of the musketeers: captain Treville. He gave D’Artagnan a letter of recommendation so he can become a musketeer immediately. But on the way to Paris, a mysterious attacker stole his letter of recommendation and his money! He’s all alone and now must find the thief to become a musketeer.

But he won’t be alone. The three famous musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis will be there to help him.

I went to Paris last summer. It was beautiful. It really is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In Paris, you can visit the Eiffel Tower, but I think the streets and the people and all of the small places you can visit are the best thing about it. For instance, I visited the Cathedral of Paris. It was a beautiful building, very peaceful and calm. Then, I went to the library. There are a lot of books there! Finally, I visited the town square and bought some souvenirs at the local store. I couldn’t leave Paris without visiting the Palace of the Musketeers. I saw Athos, Porthos and Aramis walking in there with Captain Tréville. They looked very brave! It was the best part of my visit.
