European travel notes on (9)

10, Paris (1)

Today's destination is Paris, this is the last of this tourist cities, by car to more than 600 km/h.

Geneva from SEO method is close to the border, before you know it, we have entered the territory of France. Car window, although still thick green scenery but has become a big block of farmland. It is said that France is Europe's cereal production. Afternoon local time clock, bus stop at a motorway service area, ready for lunch. Zhang guide has 6 euro per person for food, to our own solution to lunch. Service area of the restaurant is large and clean, buffet's taste is not bad, next to the supermarket to buy 2 euros to ice beer, although slightly exceeded the standard for dining, but this experience is very interesting.

4 pm and a half minutes left and right, the car into the little town of Fontainebleau.

Here are the Paris region, distance from the Centre of Paris is only 55 km. The tranquillity of the beautiful small town, located in the depths of the forest. Countless more than a hundred years from the tree, oak, Birch stretched luxuriant thick branches to form a vast green sea. No wonder the Fontainebleau forest, known as France is one of the most beautiful forests. Our goal is France's King Louis VI construction of hunting palace, and later was Napoleon I as the first Palace, now France National Museum of the Palace of Fontainebleau. Palace front is a large square area, stone paved channels is a bit old, dilapidated, channel on green grass. Palace for a two to three floors of the building, roof with a row of circular roof laohuchuang, corner stands a small bell tower. Ash blue Spire, pale yellow walls, rustic and elegant, very resistant. Palace in the center of the gate, was a horseshoe stone steps. Napoleon's exile, from here out of the Palace, came to the square to kiss goodbye to France flag, his guard. Therefore, this square is also called bid farewell to the square. Reportedly, the seat of the Museum, while not Fontainebleau and the Louvre, but is also a vibrant artistic treasures. Especially famous is that there is a Chinese pavilion, by Napoleon's Austrian Virginie Queen presided over the construction. Museum in exhibiting paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, gold jewelry, ivory, jade and other thousands of pieces of art treasures, most of the exhibits of the Winter Palace from China. Unfortunately, we came relatively late, the Museum has xieke behind closed doors. Only palaces in the corner of the bathroom also in business, each person every time 0.5 euros.

Fortunately, the Palace's Garden does not close the door, or tickets.

We enter the garden, around the Palace into a circle. The Palace's outer wall and the side corner corner, there are many fine marble statue, out go go for a walk, I feel also very good. The Palace is on the right side is a European-style garden with fountain Fountain Square, quite satisfactory lawn green trees. On the other side of the Palace, towering trees around the middle of green space, the name of the Fontainebleau relies on a set of spring water sculpture. Black marbles into hunting goddess Diana, a farm girl dress, hand caressing a fawn barefoot, beginning with the foot ring 4 head hunting dogs. The following square marble base, each side with a little up the Horn on long deer, mouth spray spit at the spring water was. It is said that in the year 1137, when King Louis VI, it is because I saw this spring, and ordered the construction of the hunting palace. "Fontainebleau" means "beautiful water". Just, do not know now deer mouth spit out, or not at that time that spring.

From the garden, in the car park to see many blacks selling souvenirs to tourists.

The most striking is that their hands into ebullient model of the Eiffel Tower, the largest price 10 euros a, the smallest one euro can buy 6, 7. It is said that these souvenirs are made in China Yiwu. Production of Chinese people in Asia, Africa, Black Brothers retail, Paris really is an international metropolis. We spent 3 euro, bought a moderate-sized Tower, next to a little girl, with 1 euro buys seven small.

Leave and to walk through the car remained in the boundless green sea.

Although located in Paris, Fontainebleau entered the only way, but not in the tour schedule travel guide. This place is a guide to individual recommended attractions, everyone has a little extra money. Probably need around point road. In fact, if the money and the actual cost is not too great, Fontainebleau's a definitely worth a visit.

Enter Paris, is the local time of 6 p.m. and a half minutes, the street is a bit of a traffic jam.

However, soon to see from the Windows of high standing in the deep of the Eiffel Tower and the bustling streets of Paris, let us forget the traffic jam. Bus stops, 20 minutes later, we have stood at the foot of the Eiffel Tower of Paris Mars square.

It can be said that as a child, I was told by the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Then read the information, the use of 700 tons of iron and steel, 250 000 rivets, drilled 700 000, design sketches have 5300, up to 300 meters of steel and iron giant, in the construction of the Assembly, is a successful, no errors, just feel like a legend, the people I longing.

The lower portion of the tower is 4 huge concrete base, extended from the base and surface 75 ° angle of thick steel frame, in the middle of converge, extending upwards and thin narrow until becoming shrugged into the heavens of the Eiffel Tower.

From a distance, the tower is beautiful, tall and straight. I always think, Tower silhouette is like a group into the sky of the curve, I do not know the Eiffel engineer design inspiration, and this way of thinking.

Four concrete base intermediate is an area of Plaza, no fences, casually walk through under the tower.

Standing at the bottom of the central square, you will be up from the bottom of a sigh, think this towers more than imagine its majestic and magnificent. You can see, we were already well known in the country name of some steel products, such as angle, flat bars, channel, and so on, where almost all can find that only the specifications.

Zhang bought tickets, we import from a concrete base of the door, take the tramway-elevator, along the 75 degree

Angle steel frame, went straight to the second floor of the tourism platform. The Eiffel Tower in sight-platform has three layers, from the ground 57.6 m, 115.7 m and 276.1 meters, each layer and take the elevator and stairs that have a different fare respectively. We arrived at the second level platform, lift ticket price per person € 7.7. Go to the third tier platform, to interchange the vertical lift, fare is EUR 11 per person. In fact, if you want to watch Paris style, second-tier platform is the best place to go.

Second tier platform consists of two layers, the place of beyond our imagination.

Here are the shops selling souvenirs, restrooms, elevators, and even a need to eat dinner reservation of sightseeing and dining room. Everywhere, crowded with tourists of all people. Not the sensations, you're really hard to imagine that look like a pierced steel frame, which can be had room for so many things.

We and everyone else, around the viewing platform to a circle.

Although it is more than 7 p.m., Sun also did not fall, visibility was good. Paris skyscraper, standing here, the entire city. You will feel, huge Paris, almost all surrender at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The best recognition is flowing through the tower at the foot of the Seine, turquoise blue, voyage a few ship snow-white yachts. The River, two long arc palaces, surrounded by a green shade Sensen, Palace Square and one of the top of the platform. It is said that the square in the center of the pond, with Paris's largest fountain. Of course, now days it is too late, after a sprinkling of time. The place is named Charolais Palace, the platform is a panoramic shot of the Eiffel Tower. Follow the direction of the longitudinal head towards the horizon of many skyscrapers are springing up. That is, and the Concorde, the Arc de Triomphe Champs Elysees Avenue, in line with a strong smell of modern industry of Paris La de Fang, new district. In addition, we were impressed by is a far higher than other construction of onion large dome, in the sunset light, flashing in the reflection of gold, but I just don't know what it is. Later in Paris two days, did not go there. Or only clear after returning home, the place called Galeries, Napoleon and his relatives buried bones, or is well worth going to. Because it is a bit early to Paris, ignorant ignorant understand, how long is renowned for its many places, such as the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, etc are not found, or does not have to go find. gu Just looked at four, took some phase, followed by Zhang import rush Tower. Now nearly at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Away from the Eiffel Tower, Zhang guide lead us, walking through a few streets, came to a House is located in the alley in the restaurant.

Restaurants in bustling, out in the Chinese, it is designed to do business with China tours.

Eaten dinner, of course, is to the hotel.

Really strange is that it is at 9 o'clock, the Sun of Paris are not fully down, the setting sun is still in. The car went along the Seine, 5 minutes, stop at a company called APGIA Hotel door. The whole journey, this is a unique two-day hotel. Hotel conditions better, even more importantly, the location on the edge of the Seine. Of course, this section of the Seine near the bustling downtown area has been very far, River buildings nor surprising. Even so, settled, we stayed in the river for a long time, looked at past cruise, enjoy the surrounding scenery, scattered until sunset, night, back to the room deep rest.
