French Southern Provence Riviera self-driving travel

In July, the Provence, the Sun exactly.

Large tracts of land with golden yellow sunflower thick, dark green vine waves like delay, deeply shallow purple lavender blossom out subtle sweetness.

The old town and the streets of lingering coffee and toast aromas, people in the open air cafe sunbathing just killing off half a day's time.

It is said that in France, from the North to the South is quite some diplomats, feel that they rely on rain-fed, sedentary.

However, every holiday, from the North and will be unable to control zone at his hard earned money, went to the South of the town Castle or the French Riviera squander their holidays.

The magic of the Provence ...

The diary of 19 in Europe--from Lyon to Paris

September 6, 2008 in Paris, Lyon and rainy

In Lyon, just a 12-day life finally over (use "finally", is felt lonely, Lyon's life, intends to merge, wrote the pickups like Memento). today, accompanied by my daughter to go to Paris and the Paris-stay six days later, on 12, sat Eastern Airlines aircraft flight! suddenly, I was very homesick! specifically, is Miss past familiar environment and in Paris-to stay 6 days would be palpitating. Paris this world metropolis, home-won Oh.

Say, daughter make today went to Paris, was also considered tomorrow is the first Sunday in September, in accordance with established practice, the Louvre is free on this day when my daughter asked tickets. the Louvre tickets to 10 euro, unexpectedly, and so we really went later, only to find that as long as six European! in order to save the people of 12 euro, we in Paris a few days to more overhead and lodging fees. daughter said, Paris stay a few days certainly value, you not only think of the cost!

The train was the afternoon of-large luggage days ago has been arranged. large luggage contents mainly in her daughter's clothes and shoes. There is also a book today to prepare is in Paris to eat something. lunch, put some remaining sauce, rice are packed away, because my daughter is about to return home, she said her this time don't want to cook by yourself. I also saw her bike on a cart basket, (bicycle has processed, this is a compact of hanging basket, due to practical, I later was unanimously praised by sages and jealousy), also it down all tidied away., actually a lot of luggage! luckily had small fan in Paris to meet me, lent me a luggage trailer, this trailer helped us very busy!

Daughter of colleagues speak good to send the results of calling us., he had something must go to the lab, so he doesn't have to send her daughter. behold, we come to a junction, colleagues already there-daughter told me that he is specifically to me, because he said over the phone, also wanted to see if your MOM, and your mother road it don't. colleagues brought a package of specialty chocolate Lyon-I say goodbye to shake hands with him, and let his daughter pass, he later came to China to play he is Arab-French, Chinese people are attracted to our guests who've told me that his girlfriend is also half of Chinese descent!

Lyon Metro estuary as a bench-trailer can't worry about using as, a man came and said to him take the lift to. original alongside ten to step away from a humble little house, the old man with a card swipe, door, elevating lift truck, Elevator stop, is the subway platform! even subway ticket are useless, inadvertently, we became evasion! want to come this elevator is designed for the elderly, people with disabilities use. so, then I infer that the Paris Metro must also have similar lifts-but we do not know. There is also an outsider might not use qualifications.

Tgv train drive fast this sitting is a bit upper compartment, actually gets sick feeling. carriage outside the rain clouds capping, the distant horizon and lightning flashed, worry to Paris? daughter said to Paris without outbound, you can take the subway.

More than two hours after the train to Paris, Lyon, the China station. landlord to phone, because she said you can come to meet us. results waiting for a long time, the landlord didn't come to the phone or we call the past-, she said she could not come, that we may take the subway line number, and where to go and change a few lines, all sit two points arrived. also had to be as usual, the subway up and down are bench, and Hei each young people for their help. remember a young lovers across the US, just to be on the bench, the man gave us the big luggage up to, and may not have prepared for it to be so heavy, also a stagger. and that the woman is very happy, proud of her boyfriend. this scene remains in my memory and heart shores on the goodwill of the people of France, not forgotten!

Daughter rental family hotel in the Paris urban area called "summer red that place down the street" is a four-storey building of old buildings. find-downstairs Mengen Mody, after a while, the door opened, down a fat girl, she is the landlord.

The landlord is a passionate and Northeast China girl, say many. claiming to be in Paris to do business, and trade dress is very good. the rented apartment, rent 800 euros in order to save money, she keeps room to house the living room into the bedroom and living room Studio, 1065, only one bedroom is transformed into a warehouse and a guest bedroom and full House. no more than 30 square meters! good living facilities, if not the bedroom that heap is full of wedding articles, even with all of the plug-daughter through network selected this accommodation, should or can.

We rent 35 Euro a day-a total of 210 euro. advance a lump! this reminds me of Rome Italy people landlord and the Sri Lanka waiter foluolun Isaac, which had also had a lot of family hotel. summary, Chinese enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm to cover up on people's distrust, maybe our compatriots have had lessons. However warm up in the "short pounds short of two" phenomenon, so unpleasant. If Venice the northeast of the hotel, open daily for guests say. Ah, today unfortunately, water heater broke! maybe really happened, but we stayed two nights, the water heater is not repaired!

Today costs one train 21.9 Europe Paris Metro 1.2 Europe one Paris accommodation 35 Euro for two persons

(Can't compete with human communication, but every station on the windowsill to watch children play, still very nice.)

The color of the sky

Always think of Paris, feels like a lot to travel there too, so I'm not particularly memorable is solubility in the city of romance and fashion, including deposition has long history left behind. But always remember a deep place, where the sky a bit with a hint of the smell, the original Paris not only of the Seine river water shuttle quietly history.

Lachaise father cemetery is such a place.

Tourists usually rarely come to visit this place, because this city has too many palaces and pavilions, which have no time like the graveyard this place. A little common sense people must have heard of it, the cemetery's reputation is buried here is for dozens of artists or celebrities, who came to visit some of tend to be attracted to later ages. Cemetery gates at the entrance there is a sign that there is a stack for visitors access-map, map marked with dozens of famous grave position, in the list you can find the Balzac, Chopin and many famous long name. Cemetery impression is always heavy, even on sunny days, it is always a deep breath, only silence walk which will not get disrupted after the long-dead. Here's a very lush trees, the sky obscured somewhat bleak, the cemetery is very large, walk along the horizontal and orderly arranged like a calm in the city of exception, only the street residents are different. Curtain and side with one simple wall, is a member of the Paris Commune 147 old tombstones. History of bit by bit, you may inadvertently encounter with you here.

Many tombstones are quite nice, and repairs some commemorative text and epitaph carved powder, most of the catacombs is very exquisite craftsmanship, visible to friends buried here are mostly affluent sectors.

Cemetery you can also find some civilian sectors of the ashes of Tomb walls. Accidentally walked to a cemetery of the wall, looking at the hands of figure, so here's a great name, turned down the serial number to find, and eventually discovered that name-Isadora · Duncan. The world-renowned dance Queen, the life of the many joys and sorrows and Fengyun, sleep in one of the famous cemetery so ordinary tomb wall corner. There are attracted to Duncan's Tomb cartridge door ruled out of its long and sad: "in my dreams I was dancing with Duncan. "One of the world have a significant impact on the art of dance, its outcome was calm was surprising.

Priest in the Lachaise Cemetery, you will feel the life of another, looked up at the lush foliage of the local sky among exposed, it so clearly with a hint of the color of the dignified.

Experience France

Reached France after the fourth day, the evening on May 5, bath, sitting on the bed, would like to take a few days in France, in Paris, is the exact feeling down, and began to write this article "feelings of the French". Articles most complete in Paris between Arthur train.

This is not a running tally as travels, but thoughts of summary. Mainly divided into religious, political, artistic, cultural, and other sections.

First thing to say is religion. France is a Christian-oriented countries. The Christian God Jesus (status similar to Buddhism in shijia Muni, this easy-to-understand explanation of some), another is the Virgin Mary (corresponds to the Buddhist bodhisattva)-throughout the whole law, but the most famous Notre Dame is of the same name by Hugo novel and famous of Notre Dame. The front and took nearly two hundred years to build the Cathedral is typical of Gothic architecture, holds the Bell Tower, the Tower, each door and side is covered with fine sculpture. Although after 700 years of wind and rain erosion, still magnificent splendor.

At eight o'clock in the morning to church bells ringing, I arrived at the Notre Dame de Paris. Get door to go quietly into, a red priest was preaching. NOK large Chapel, it is estimated that can hold hundreds of people, but only a spatter of dozens, or sitting or kneeling, devoutly followed Bishop at. Although they do not understand what the bishop told, just think of rhythmic patterns, was good. Listen to a little while, stand up and go in a circle, surrounded by paintings and statues that are relevant to the Virgin Mary, former candlestick, tourists or believers spend two euros you can pick up a candle lit, dedicated to the Virgin. So how do you see how the Virgin as Guanyin bodhisattva.

The Church is a major event held in monks, such as marriage, the emperor was crowned, funerals, etc. Archbishop status respectable. It is said that Louis XIV ascended the throne when young, then Archbishop by the red, visible on behalf of the ruling religious forces. For me, and other non-Christians, most worth viewing is the superb building technology, exquisite exquisite sculpture, painting and painted glass. Each Church above the Central Gate has a diameter of several meters of large round window, known as "the rose window". There is a painted glass, painted biblical story, color photography. The most famous is referred to as the "Paris jewel" of the Church of St. Charles Belle color glass. Dangyang off through the glass radiation came in, red, yellow, green, bursting out various light, colorful, Mellon décor.

Visit the Loire area after the medieval castle and found within each Castle will have a small church, and every city will have a grand style, carved Church, visible religious people living in it is an integral part of. Remember the beginning of the year in Malaysia, wherever, there must be a magnificent mosque Church, in accordance with the Sharia, five times a day, the voice of the chant, going out on time.

Thus think of what is the State religion in China? Buddhism, Taoism, Muslim religion, Christianity? Are the believers, but none can dominate. Thus, the entire people of faith, belief in the absence of the vacuum, perhaps this is also a great journey, such as Falun Gong road can be one of the reasons. People always need spiritual sustenance. When Mao Zedong's cultural revolution of the cult of personality as the end, but the disintegration of the whole nation in up to 20 to 30 years in addition to the "money", you will no longer unified integration belief, sad, alas.

Secondly, you want to talk about France's regime and democracy. The history of the rule of the French era, the longest is the Bourbon dynasty, before and after going through more than ten kings, subversion in the Louis XVI period, i.e. the 17 th century. The ultimate symbol of Royal power domination is located in the Paris suburb of Versailles. It was Louis XIII riding hunting palace, after Louis XIV collection national architects, architect, painter, sculptor and skilled artisans, lasted for fifty years, built into the largest, most luxurious palaces. Until today, Versailles is still one of the world's largest and most luxurious palaces.

Out of the subway, we see this very far to magnificent architecture, the gate stands for the Sun King Louis XIV on horseback statue, a pair of Chi-satisfaction, confident look. According to the record, he ascended the throne only five years old at the time of year, Archbishop by red skin for ruling. After the Bishop's death, Louis XIV young will chikamasa. Initially, the Kings and Ministers who didn't put the young monarch haughty, but he soon demonstrated strong wrist, consolidated the kingship. He is member of 54 years, 30 years of hard work, expanding the territory. Intrauterine has a Hall hanging a dozen paintings, exhibited in the largest is the battle scene.

At the same time, Chinese history also has an experience similar to the Emperor-Kangxi.

(He ascended the throne, in bits, 60 years). The same is juvenile chikamasa, likewise is ambitious, similarly to rule the kingship to free-for-all. Quite a coincidence, I went to Versailles in a unilateral is held and the exhibition of the Kangxi Emperor, known as "the forbidden city in Versailles". (Perhaps because in 2004 is the year for the culture of France's sake). Exhibits, but are quite rare. A Louis XIV's Chinese collections, has been Chair of the Kangxi Emperor, the most interesting is a closure easy 14 letter to Emperor Kangxi, estimates have fretted means. Visible, then the two countries have established the ambassadorial level contacts.

Versailles palace luxury dream screened here since you do not have to, whether it be wonderful sculptures, paintings, beautiful atmosphere of the furniture, the monarchy and the Queen are vivid portraits, worked in a post-war treaty concluded "Versailles" mirror Hall, or the famous Le valve design for geometry Garden, the Seine river water pumping height of 150 meters built fountains, etc., are so amazing.

But all ages this class

EPIC's works often become a fuse of the doom dynasty, as qinshi King wall, excavation of sui yangguang, artificial Canal Angkor Empire exhaustive nationwide manpower, material resources, building 400 year calendar, Angkor Wat, led to the off State, and so on. The Versailles France eventually led to the revolution.

Revolution by Bastille riots started, a single spark instant start a prairie fire. Angry crowd surrounded the Versailles, the King and Queen he fled. But in the end, including Louis XVI, Queen Anne Antoinette, hundreds of nobility was executed. Execution location i.e. Lu captives Palace not far from the Concorde (also known as the Revolution Square). Now walk in the spacious square, but see two big fountain in the Shui ducks play, people just sitting on the floor reading gossip, entertaining, horseriding's guards to patrol a symbolic, a serene, long lost those bloody past of King.

This is a kind of ethnic, dare to send his Emperor Guillotine? The French national spirit can concentrate in three words: Liberte freedom, equality, Fraternite Eqalite fraternity. The first time I saw them at the door of the Sorbonne University law school, and later on in the Town Hall, hospitals, and other government agencies on the door again and again to see the three words. They initially were made in France after the publication of "the great free declaration", after the introduction of independent United States of America. Straight to become modern Western society, the cornerstone of the human spirit. New York statue of liberty is independent of the centennial of the United States, France gave the gift of the people of the United States, has now become a New York and the symbol of the United States, Paris has a similarly of the statue of liberty, just because small and unobtrusive.

It was this three words declares the national pride of the bone marrow in depth, romance and unyielding. Also it is free and the relentless pursuit of democracy, the only time of the revolution and restoration until the General de Gaulle to establish the Fifth Republic. In many European countries such as United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, etc. also retaining the monarchy today, France is the most radical Republicanism.

France revolution, established the first Republic soon will come to an end, after the restoration of the Republic and to the cycle, during which it is for an awesome reputation of Napoleon, his restoration success crowned Emperor (a bit like China's Yuan Shi-kai). Napoleon I and Louis XIV as aggression and dilated, and started a new round of East-West seminars. Arc de Triomphe is winning the return in order to meet the army built, standing at the top of the door wall, close your eyes and imagine that inundated the victorious, Horn players, amid cheers of pageantry, eyes, and saw a radial spread of 12 Street, Arc de Triomphe has become the best ornamental Paris attractions tourists.

No, the Arc de Triomphe built, Napoleon had died in exile in Helena, thirty years after his death, his remains from the Arc de Triomphe, and was buried in the Invalides. Military manned Galeries solemn, buried Napoleon and he lives on the brothers. But because of the war dead and more than thousands. To mangled mageguoshi is regarded as a soldier's honour. More then died of disease, hunger, cold, captives, and so on. According to the record, Napoleon wanted to cross the Italian border of the Alps to enter the territory of Italy, but hundreds of thousands of troops then disappear from the Alps of the boundless mountains, died of cholera, cold or hunger, for various reasons have divergent views. One of the famous Caesar, true million!

Invalides also houses the reception and then in the first world war, World War II killed the generals. It now has turned into a military museum. In a Memorial Hall, I saw the banner of the world, there are a few faces belong to ancient China, says traditional word of Zhang and Zhao, side order flag (don't know where to get them to the baby). This thought, whether he is brilliant and glory, died but dust. As in the "species" Yue Fei write: 8 February yunhe Rd., 30 years of success and dust and soil.

However, a nation needs a hero, heroes, history need all my life, historians such as ye not unemployment?

French history, another famous national hero is Joan of arc. England and France during the hundred years ' war, the legendary maiden, who was only who play at the age of up to save the nation's responsibility. Rate of the British army in Orleans, and instigate fights off was weak and incompetent road hospital seven crowned (the Louvre has a painting showing the scene). Joan of arc was sentenced to death. Today, Joan has become the patron saint of Paris, the Pantheon (the ancestral Foundation pioneer martyrs) has her statue, for posterity, Revere. Can be described as the "great health, died a glorious".

Next, you want to say that culture and art. France people's talent and achievements of amazing. Of course, Paris has much more than France's artistic achievement, more European writers, thinkers, artists and the brilliant results. We all know, the Renaissance (XV, XVI century) in the Centre of Europe, then in Rome, in the 17th century 18 gradually shifted to Paris. On the left bank of the Seine, in which the gathering of it's nose main Existentialism and his lover, Sartre, Beauvoir, they often in several Cafe and colleagues in the contend on. Unfortunately the Cafe hidden in a terraced house, I had a half-gods didn't find.

Today, Paris and Rome, in Cologne, Germany together are known as the largest cultural art. To understand its culture and art, will visit the three museums: the Louvre, Orsay Museum, Centre Pompidou, on behalf of the former, respectively, after three periods of artistic achievements. I'm three days respectively to the three places, so the feeling is different every day.

>

The Louvre is a treasure trove of art scale, one went in feed in the vast expanses of collection and disoriented. Of course the name of the tree shadow, the most famous or its town Palace Sambo: Brokeback------Venus, broken person-victory goddess, smiling people-Mona Lisa. Juxtaposition tours, finally found the Triple Gem. Surrounding teeming, praise is not absolute. In particular, marvel at the Michelangelo's statue-----Miro Venus, during the Millennium still texture and delicate, vivid. Mona Lisa's original smaller, due to the age old, somewhat fading, but mysterious smile remains unforgettable. I finally found a gap at the portrait of five seconds, then be turbulent flow of people packed a box with a portrait is not seen.

Orsay Museum was once a railway station, the second station later into a Museum, collection of 19th century to the early 20th century works, painting and sculpture to primary. The door, I'll go straight to the fifth floor and go for it's Impressionist and the base camp after Impressionism, collection of Cezanne, Van Gogh, Mona, and many other works of the Impressionist representative figures. As a painting of layman, I can only approximate guess is somewhere between realism and Impressionism abstract painting, still between has physical shape, just add the art of imagination and exaggeration.

(Ladies painters such as springs have know, I am afraid I am ignorant.)

Pompidou Centre is a grotesque steel structure construction, external pipeline bare. I went to the National Art Museum, divided into two parts in the early and late stage, exhibition of the works of the twentieth century. Everywhere is a heap of scrap copper scraps, some rags, extremely distorted shape, not color blurred, not extreme. Besides introducing building showroom is able to read, the rest will be unreadable. Also, if I can see no, what the artist level? There is also a performance art, there is a strange body painting, next to the video projection is painting process. Volunteer body covered with paints, and then lay out on the canvas. Now this site chest and thigh paintings hung on the wall.

Paris is known as the capital of culture and art, because the city's streets are full of art. Potions are hawking painting, sculpture, crafts shops. In the Montmartre of a small hill, I find the artist village, a hundred square meters of open spaces, small bar, surrounded by dozens of artists or attract tourists sketches, or touting his paintings, drawings, oil paintings, watercolors, people, landscapes, buildings are being used, just carry a strong ' taste.

Writer in me more familiar with the Balzac and Hugo. The former is said to avoid debt and settled, and Victor Hugo's Tomb in the previously introduced by Pantheon, he lived at the corner of the floating, Plaza, has now become a museum that is open to visitors free of charge. Inside Hugo autograph letters, manuscripts, the Quill Pen writing, and he made paintings and hand-made furniture, is versatile. It was here, Hugo finished his immortal masterpieces "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Les Miserables", posted on staircase with huge posters of novels.

Another genius Leonardo da Vinci, visiting his home by accident. Because enrolment in tours, tours to visit the medieval castles. In a corner of the castle called Amboire, was a former residence of the Leonardo da Vinci. According to the record, when his Holiness the sixteenth century Flamenco Sova Italy, a visit to the Renaissance of prosperity deep envy, and invited the Leonardo da Vinci at fame spreads to settle in France. Warm hard but, Mr. big racks to Leonardo da Vinci. His Holiness, a quiet, room for living, Leonardo da Vinci in this live three years until his death. Always thought of Leonardo da Vinci is a painter, I didn't think he was a highly talented designers and artisans. In a booth, there are a lot of his hand-drawn design drawings and IBM company according to the drawings produced model, a glider, pontoon, tanks, submarines, prototype, realms.

Finally, in any event to tell France. Earlier said, in the heart of France who was complemented by a proud, romance and unyielding. Tourism in France, a French-style arrogant everywhere. Both Metro and bus station, or shopping malls, banks, extremely rare to English. The vast majority of France who do not speak English (I bet that most of France's never spoken second language). Regardless of who to ask, answer your flat is French. I had to repeatedly declared "Je ne parlie Francais".

(I can't speak French). But because I'm French speaking, someone always stare at me, then shook his head saying "no Englise". (Do not speak English).

Eiffel Tower top viewing platform, a ropeway mouth, see flags of various countries and city name. Among them, China Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang and Guangzhou, callout at the Eiffel Tower, the distance from the city, standing here, you seem to stand in the center of the world.

(Of course, outstanding people, wuhua pride of France with sufficient reasons.)

France's men are gentle, polite, compared to the ladies take care of my deep feeling, in France is a woman is really good. As for why, although many women face her well, slim beauty, but most feel proud, and cigarette in hand. Comparison of passion is the old aunt, the aunt, both the tavern of the hotel, or to guard the doors of the Museum, are relatively warm. The old guard "hot Mai" Museum doors aunt eyes were Dim, but thought I was a student, mixed student tickets.

(Usually the adult's 1967 fold).

Just a few days yet, it is not possible in all of France. Have time to do a lonely planet (Lonely Planet), walking on the Earth, my thoughts free wind.

Experience Paris (9)-the last half a day

The first two days of play is very compact, today has no particular place to go. Morning, Celine, she said: today I went to Saint Michel, go take a look on the left bank. I said to not go to China town and take a look, I buy Phonecard. General of China town is in the Shui Kiu, but we're going to another place, there are a lot of Chinese shops, visible in Paris are more and more Chinese people. To China town and really will let you have the wrong impression, because into the shop, supermarket can speak Chinese, they are too lazy and you speak French. But things are almost everything, more than Lille. Even saw the dough, and tofu. Back to know that they actually carry out rice in a box of instant noodles come back. Buy a phone card, we are going to the Luxembourg Gardens. See on the subway has a station is Pompidou, I'd love to see, so first a car. Pompidou indeed has a lot of character, the square stands the three big exhaust pipe, the other side outside with one iron pipes, also painted yellow, blue, white, very special, this is the so-called modern and avant-garde. Into the Hall looked, there were significantly linked to the black ball, also look to buy souvenirs. Those who'd like a souvenir, the design is very strange, very distinctive. Once more with feeling Paris really is a paradise for artists.

Leave the Pompidou, directly to the Luxembourg Gardens, the Park is very big, but because it is winter, also had fallen, and now began the rain, so people are not seldom, seem a bit out of it.

The fountain is a thick layer of ice, pigeons and ducks on the ice. Unfortunately, because in French culture, the Park is a Chinese photography exhibition, exhibition of a photographer in China beat France's 108 photos, some of the photos is ten years ago, we seem very remote, very backward, but the photographer seems like the terraces of Yuanyang, Yunnan province, as well as minority, only a few photos of Shanghai, revealing little modern atmosphere, and next to the contrast, contrast seems too big point, intermediate missing transition.

Through exhibitions, go back along the road, passing through a number of buildings, Paris building is too much, each with allusions are history, but for me it's just too hard to go one by one, to distinguish memory.

Walk the Saint Germain Boulevard Saint Michel, came to the square, that is the square, there is a sculpture, a fountain. Celine says many appointments are all about in this square. As said in Nanjing xinjiekou of McDonald 's, Hunan road, Lion Bridge. Has reached the edge of the Seine, across the bridge, then turn to Cite Island, passing through the Notre-Dame, a bridge, then back to the right bank. She showed me a bridge in the distance, called the new bridge that is a movie about it, similar to the veranda yimeng, very romantic, so she saw this bridge is a feeling, but I have not read.

The larger the rain, the next time it is getting late, so we find the subway station, drill inside, and say goodbye to her, go straight to the railway station.

Three day rush trip is over, very compact, very tired, but happy, very full. See Paris dawn, enjoy Paris evening also got a glimpse of bustling Paris night. Just three days, Paris also give me to show her and ever-changing, from the skies, snow falling, then to the patter of rain, all weather I appreciate, not lucky. And once from online to see Paris Paris, said a mess, a friend told me to go to Paris has also repeatedly reminded to pay attention to safety, in particular the subway thief, also cite one example, so I'm afraid, but this three days to come, I don't have the experience, everything is all right. The package I was back in later. Met many nice, although it is a person, but looking for someone to take pictures or anything, I feel we are very enthusiastic. Should not feel anything. Later, a friend of mine and I say you're not afraid of someone took your camera ran? hehe, I really ever. Of course this also and you find someone to take pictures on the right, for example, you are looking for those out of the tour, that generally there is no problem, or to find a family. So I see Paris or quite meet ever dream of. Romantic, friendly, generous, inclusive, prosperous ^ _ ^

Look at the map to play Paris — August 27, 2008 (top)

Work for three days, exhausted the fatigues, or taking the team around.

25 April evening night stroll around the Champs Elysees and Arc de Triomphe, one of the most famous street like Beijing so brilliant, so I didn't take a picture as it is over. 26 October followed by everyone with Ms. Z "Galeries Lafayette" (Lafayette) and Lafayette in the back of a family man's duty free shop, the first taste of the Paris Metro, the Sèvres Lecourbe station M6 → La Picquet Grenelle swap Mottte M8 → d ' Chaussée La Fayette Antin to Lafayette, and then walk to only one station to open outside of Paris Opera, it's that is a good time to take pictures of, and is just a taste of Paris, the street into the mirror. Because Z is close at hand, home, do not send us back, a group of people was taken by Opéra station automatically asked to teach how to transfer station system, see the subway map is fully sufficient to take the M8 → La Picquet Grenelle swap Mottte M6 → Sèvres Lecourbe back to the hotel.

27 August finally is Saturday.

The original plan was late coming to Paris for two days, Saturday and Sunday are just won't work, but with our exhibition in France people definitely need to rest, to play for a time. Today go? because not alone out natural to consider others, besides the line Paris I did not develop their own plans, but also not very good. Several reasons led me to relax the mind, not to their pressure.

Saturday morning has nine streets still quiet, even in the morning watching the MTR stations are few pedestrians.

Eat breakfast stroll to bi UNESCO's direction, yesterday there was erected some iron rods, to people in the free market is ready for the weekend. Two Avenue with a spacious lawn, lawn's end is a big character statue, who don't know, then it is a big lawn, then to the end is the dome of the Invalides glittering. Morning market in China is a hive of activity, but here although stalls crowded, goods, fresh and cooked food is fresh, and placed neatly, attractive, but buyers were negligible, but many are elderly, don't know what to do in this business. Something good, as long as price multiplied by ten, which one can buy.

Free market edge to see a hotel named Nicolas (how do you like the Russians, French name not down), it is a well-known chain stores in Paris, go in to take a look at the various wine really available to describe the "range", the door several grass basket just posted a simple label's new wine list, I immediately decided to visit Paris else to buy, buy a few bottles of wine to give it, I can do without wine tasting, but it is said that the new wine tastes the most simple and easy, so I selected the individual basket with a bottle from the full frame of wine in false low and year long two bottles.

Went home, thanks to the hotel is not far away from the hotel. I didn't expect to bring gifts to this important event, a morning easily accomplished, and then start the real run today.

Today's trip:

① the Sèvres Lecourbe M 6 station → Pasteur for M12 → Abbesses station, arrived in Montmartre.

② from sacred heart Cathedral recent M2 of Anvers station → Charles de Gaulle É t o l l e for Louvre Rivoli M1 → station to the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre).

③ the M4 from Seine side Montparnasse Bienvenüe Châtelet → → Sèvres Lecourbe M6 transfer back to the hotel.

Lone France-(3) Paris impression

Lone France 3 Paris impression

October in Paris should be considered in the winter, I don't really know, but the weather was cold, only 5-6 degrees Celsius, October 2, that Paris is a cloud over, day grey, not like Shanghai even winter can also see the brilliant Sun.

Cold weather has not affected my mood, I started walking in Paris.

(2006, October 2, Paris)

The first station to the Arc de Triomphe, because I studied the maps found along from the Arc de Triomphe Champs go all the way to the East after the Louvre, Notre Dame last until I take the TGV Lyon train station, so I took the subway directly to Arc de Triomphe.

Drill out the ground for a moment, I saw the Arc de Triomphe stands at one end of the street. To the Arc de Triomphe, a few roads have radial spread, Champs is just to the East of a straight Street. The road is very broad, vehicles to Arc de Triomphe is a turntable, must pass the road to get to the Centre, there are signs (remember not to cross the road, no crosswalks very dangerous). To the Arc de Triomphe, stone-carved on the pattern as well as various characters like, the Center also has a memory of long-Ming torch. I have carefully review each historical description, Arc de Triomphe walk around in a circle, came across a couple of Beijing also with their son to Paris, they gave me a shadow. Arc de Triomphe can go up, take a few euros. Seen from a distance through the arc of the clouds in the sky, and Champs Elysees straight streets, there is so little time.

(At the beginning of the Arc de Triomphe)

Champs of pavement is not too good, sidewalks on both sides is very clean.

I stroll slowly along the street, just in case of last weekend, basically big stores do not open the door (it is strange that the weekend is the time of sale, they do not open the door, people might focus on personal France rest), I can only see those closet of the model, up to a closer look at the poster, the price is not cheap! along the way, boss, benz, and other international top brand, it is no wonder that rich people are coming to Paris shopping.

(Champs)

Through these stores, Champs into a gravel road, the road is not very good, might only have rained last night, some water, but better not mud.

A full on both sides of the road, since it is winter, so the leaves turned yellow, ground also fall down many fruits. I picked two outside a sting, there is the shell class, like chestnut, but overall than large chestnut.

(Champs of gravel road)

Through the Park to the France Louvre Museum.

The door that like the same attractions the pyramid is the entrance to the Louvre, the building I was in Shenzhen window of the world have seen its microfilm Edition. Louvre building is a landmark building in France, stone that stands above all kinds of character statue. The entrance poll out of nowhere, but compared to our Beijing Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, these are dishes. Fares and not expensive, it's rare enough to browse two days, I don't know art, but not so much time, so you can only go out, see if you can find the LU floats the Phantom of the Opera "Sufi · masuo live that big old house opposite the Louvre, I'm interested in all of the Louvre are from the film. On the art of interested friends have to go early, carefully review the time a little enough to choke a day. Go to the Louvre has 1 point at noon, so I think or back to the TGV station, the train must bear, feel free to address the problem of food and clothing. Through the Louvre is Zaina River on one side and the other side door out across the street to the Metro station.

(France Louvre Museum)

Back to the TGV station of Lyon, I already had, in the station's rumbling bought something to eat, and began to eat me to France's first meal, French-style bread (5 euros) + Coca Cola (2.5 euro), is too expensive! bread selling very well, white, with a little chocolate powder in a class of things, but first it almost took my teeth are knock off, France's bread to rock hard, can I buy expired bread? then know that France had enjoyed the stiff buckwheat bread, also heard that the harder the better.

They are smaller jobs that broke out in hand pinch out pinch to eat (... ... ... ), Often used to brush the dish soup juice anything, France's thrifty enough. No way, money spent, and I'm a little bit of Coke's swallow this hard stone, over dinner with our soft bread. Don't worry, eat suffering ahead!

Wait for 2 more, climbed up to the TGV Marseille, Avignon!

France, Italy travels--Paris

Britta is a very interesting person, she's a few years ago in Paris, on a two-year study, Super like Paris. Of course, well Paris's snobbish. She had her hair dyed blonde later think Paris people she "much nicer", huh, huh. Britta also photographed around Super laughed at me, she shook his head saying, "you and your camera asian people!" That made me with her particularly intense, almost can't take pictures so scorned ' cards wipe clean the two down cards went "of Japan (if you have studied Reflets, should M. Ikeda in botanical cool pictures of the scene impressed me:). Later, my camera was stolen, photos of Vienna – don't know that it is associated. This is way down the line.

Britta morning took me to the Jewish district with the gay district (near Pompidou), the results go too early, haven't seen anything.

Britta told me her boyfriend is tall and skinny with a blonde curly hair, is gay favorite type, so long as there are men who stare at him, she would know that they are gay. Now her boyfriend is not here, not knowing she came here to do so, is it to see Jews?. Britta here deliberately went to the palais de (forgetting is not the name), said that people all over the world come to buy tea. I saw red yellow blue green inside decoration of special on my farmers taste and itch to take photographs, Britta reluctantly I asked two sales girls can, elegant black Lady elegant said non, desole. HA HA, in fact, I don't feel anything written provisions cannot take pictures, but they sure with Britta almost think this wipe wipe around the card of the person holding the card hates it. Britta bought a small pot of tea in India or Japan sent her bf, and then to buy Longjing (memory, like a small pot of dozens of Europe), I would say forget it you have to go to China was also what to buy in France (at that time she Longjing tea yeah tell me she prepares to visit China. Unfortunately the contact with Britta later package together was stolen, so no contact:)

In la village lived 3-night, is a mixed live, 4 room, beds.

The first night because my plane in the morning, so since do clever to bed at 8 o'clock-jeg lag at night because that would attack, roommate of Canada girls come back to see this scenario, a bit shocked to say, ' oh, that's early! ' , And then went to the United States girl go from Moulin Rouge, could explain the jet lag with her, she must feel that Chinese farmers so Ah. However proved not jet lag each time, I am of the day until late sleeping, waking up early in the morning (-later no matter how tired during the day, I'll never sleep, I can't stand my biological clock, too much. ）。 Back to say that the United States girl, very sweet, a black like me, 1 m 7, a large Pack with her as long with two small package, the next day she got up early in the morning to go to Lyon, I see her so big bag (almost all my luggage 4 times more) also poor plug poor plug plug will not go the way it is not intellectually. Later that she spent in Africa for a month and then direct to Europe. (The third night she came back from Lyon and live in, so I also helped her poor as a package. Pat asked sentence) Britta do not know how United States girls wash her small argued, didn't know Britta from capitalist countries also share with me the farmers, she also curious so purposely asked the United States small argues that small argued daughter says that she has a week without washing his head! Britta finished after we've also had a look of scorn.

Then speak better than I do farmers to Britta. The second night of two girls, two boys.

At midnight we are asleep, and then heard the door opened, and then a male voice saying, ' can I turn on the light ', is quite funny accent (Britta very unkind to allow him to repeat several times this sentence to understand), I direct you thought he was Chinese, was about to use Mandarin told him "you", Britta has already answered during the day to see him wearing pyjamas Japan Samurai-like to know is the plaster flag people. Small spread of Japan sleep Britta, Britta told me her basic is a sleepless night, worried about the spread of brothers to steal her grab her, like a while secretly got up the wallet on your pillow, and frost in mind down the sea if wallet stolen her bank card password like in travel books, but travel book where it etc etc. .. I heard her talk time desperately hold back smile, feel this capitalist countries to 25-year-old girl how as we village 52 aunt. My own brothers and door covered when I don't know, extremely wary of farmers Britta nature see, she said that this person is very strange, "all wrapped up, do not know the specific circumstances, the day we go out when he was still in bed, obviously still had his day clothes (may be the undressed a shoes only), only to see a bald, evening we came back this man has disappeared.

Sorry portrait more wordy:) but after all, the King is dead, the person is alive.

In fact, one wheel in the end, he found that King are similar (last aesthetic fatigue led directly to the memory of fuzzy, plus photos of Vienna, basically physical buildings, gardens, something in his mind are blurred into a piece of vision), and truly make you memorable is the journey you encounter people and events. Book return--now back to write in Paris, the first day of the Champs Elysees is basically from the Arc de Triomphe, and then go to the Tuillerie SeiNe on bridge, walked a moment let me Paris beauty. Champs Elysees Avenue in front of a lot of comparison it!-shop but I even didn't LV's shop-simply because it came in at the other side of the street, even too lazy to cross the street (on Paris salesgirl feeling is particularly elegant, not always pretty, but it has the temperament, I feel also very kind of wrist, I fear – well, if I had the misfortune of being a man, his absolute being their applause. Khan, applause between no wrongly?), located close to the Louvre, it is exactly the way I imagine, straight wide sidewalk a row of deciduous trees (Platanus? commonly known as the Chinar?), a row of Evergreen, golden leaves in sidewalk spread thick layer, stepped on feet do Hey I rap, someone sitting at the side of the couch and read books, brilliant sunshine through the leaves desultory-this is my childhood dreams, or even the entire Paris Champs Elysees. -The girls have to sit here leave a shadow on the Chair, than it is in what has broken stone front camera. By the way, to see so many people in the Sun I really shocked to read a handful (Seine on the jam-packed bridge there is a lot of people sitting and lying in a book), I think the book How to look into it, so much distraction in your surroundings, and the Sun book eyes don't go bad? Or is this a scheme to get dates?? I direct you to conclude that the guys are cool (with certain kids non-credited to Jimmy and willing to do the same job in mind inside me incredible). Later with Britta discusses Sun book unwanted eyes, farmers had actually think I incredible Britta, say you Chinese eyes problems!, humming you foreigners boneheaded. By the way, tips on the Champs Elysees Avenue, close to the one: the Louvre, the public free of charge in the road: D What's interesting is the toilet in French and English are written directly to the "free", the Chinese "for free" (the people of Hong Kong or Taiwan people translated?), give me the music out, quickly took out the camera a bit, the results of two waiting at the door to the toilet guy saw I laughed, and probably think I'm low tastes. Unfortunately at that time, forgetting they say si mi ma sei (this is an intermediate in the CityGuide are widely circulated jokes, and later evolved into Chinese as long as what a shame thing, if a foreigner who is to say, Japanese shift to long-range)

We are the Netherlands Royal aviation, KLM, this aircraft rotten die, location is very small, crowded, and eat it too bad, the service was very bad, I ring the Bell as a half-day, even a phantom of the Opera are not over, so rotten airlines can also simply the Royal, the Royal lost face.

Compared to previous Dragonair, SIA, and even Malay also better than them. Food on the plane, you can see my pictures. This is my take on the worst aircraft. Previously also old complaining about China Eastern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines now look much better than they. There is a stewardess, do not know how these people as hostess. In one word: rotten!

Back to original aircraft is local time, 3 pm, and then said to be delayed until 50 minutes to let us go up, the results of a wait is 5 hours until 8 p.m. before take-off, the reason is a mechanical problem, let us down the plane, security, and even the belt is off, and you say this rotten company.

Our compensation is only 5 minutes from the Amsterdam free international long distance, plus 10 euro service charge for tour group leader, the other is the next time you buy a ticket to cheap 50 ohm, I forget it, the folded into RMB 700, so we will never complain about domestic airlines late 1, 2 hours, abroad is the same. And aviation lady doesn't find sorry everyone that attitude is not friendly. In particular, the Chinese air hostesses are nausea Jiashi, Savoie.

I ring the Bell to water, she actually said let me go down, crazy Halo.

In short if you have a choice, do not do his aircraft. Later and European colleagues say the things that people say the airline is rotten, as was the case, and the complaint is of no use, or else they've just changed, because the person you want to complain too much, huh, huh.

Food:

11 days in Europe, we eat about most is bread with lettuce and meat, it is really expensive, don't know who said that, said China Maidanglaokendeji than expensive abroad was crap, in Europe, not a hamburger is 4, 5 euro.

But here's cheese, butter, meat, should be better than China cheap, even if it is folded into RMB, because domestic supermarkets 6 slices of beef, bread, all 10 bucks, but more than ten piece of meat in Europe, approximately 20 RMB, but taste and completely different. Milk here almost like China, I think there is no cheap, but is not expensive. 1 liters of milk, about 1 euro cent. Big sausage, here are 3 euro/root, and our national roadside Grill sausage-like mode, but the size and taste different, HA HA. Here the fruit more expensive, we bought tomato, cucumber, fold down to 20-30 a, evil is expensive. Here's an egg of about 2 Yuan a, so I feel really good, bread or anything, all in 1-3, supermarket between Europe and the slices or if large bread, bakery bread, suit, usually 2-5-a, so I think it's not cheap. At the beginning of what we eat are distressed, over time, not to convert renminbi, ate also ate.

To be honest, I feel that the European people's consumption level should not high, it is no wonder that big brands are starting to hit China market, I believe that the Chinese people to spend money for sure willing than they.

I see dozens of euros in Europe, are regarded as expensive, if we put aside the exchange rate of 1 euro = 1 element, you want to block Chinese dozens of things, it's not just buy it, but it seems the European no, 20, 30 block everything is expensive, so I'm surprised that everybody wants to marry a foreigner, not just figure they money? at least I think so, but I think in most European foreigners are not rich, huh, huh. Of course, if you put their money into RMB, it must have been rich.

Travel log:

About European ticket:

In Shanghai, do some homework, so learn to European free line, you can use the eurail pass, on its official website found a Chinese agent phone (+ 86-21-62259633, KEVIN), then bought 4 countries 5 day tickets, because the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg is a State, haha! fares 305 euros/person, because I bought the 2 votes, so slightly cheaper, agents charge a handling fee of 2 euro/piece, I think it's very cheap.

But if your time sufficient, you can consider the online purchase, because the online purchase is express sending you, take 5 business days, but because the Internet is us $ settlement, and kevin can only accept euro or USD, so counting down than dollars go several hundred RMB to expensive. However it is more comfortable, you can go to his Office, he also will give you some suggestions on this trip, I would like to thank him. He also provides booking, because although bought pass, but the international trains, booking, this is true, you can select a local target, because the truth, their train was empty, as long as not in high season, you can at any time by booking, I think. But if you go out for the first time, the first booking. I'm sitting IC train positioning is not required, but I sit international trains, CNL did they want you to show the location of the ticket, and positioning is not cheap. A tag is to position.

In addition if it is a night train, also offers a delicious breakfast.

To the central station, we chose the tram, 4 car directly to the hotel, please see the lodging section. It is worth to note that Amsterdam locals rarely can speak English, the platform is Dutch, so please be sure to read more ask us to find the direction the tram, spent a lot of time.

Because the hotel is somewhat similar to a family hotel, the boss was very cordial and hospitable.

In the hotel took a map, just wash it, began to go out shopping. Comparison of Amsterdam is famous for its red-light district, the town centre, there is the central train station, while the suburbs in some places, such as the Windmill Village, and so on, because I only have 1 half days, so we select only a stroll in the city centre.

From the hotel to the city centre are not far away, walk, first went to the sex museum, 3 Euro/person, very funny, but also General, ordinary sex.

Red-light district in the square behind the shop window woman wearing a 3 point, actually not nude, this point is I'm surprised to see that before the Internet is full of naked, some women are very old, some women, fat I collapsed a few individuals, but still very eye-opening, estimated this flesh, if so, it is estimated that China had to tread on a rotten threshold, huh, huh. Most let us surprise is that pimping actually Chinese told us that there is an invoice, invoice. It seems that public spending is no longer a minority, previously heard people say this, I thought people kidding, it is heard, that really is a shame.

Because the red light district is in the city centre, so feel free to go shopping, go back.

Netherlands dark very late, it is estimated that the whole of Europe, 22: 30, genius began black, because we lived very centric, so very noisy at night, to 3 a.m., four points, began slowly to keep quiet. Open the door to do business in Europe are very late, including comparative bigger supermarkets, approximately in 10 o'clock. Here, I found that supermarkets are not large, it is estimated that the big supermarkets or in the United States and China. General roadside supermarkets are and our Rosen, almost nothing, and again is that the locals feel great, and the Watson's almost great, because I haven't seen such a Carrefour supermarket, so I do not know whether such at the local supermarket and as large as ours.

5/25/

Morning found me in Europe there is almost no difference in the need to swap, HA HA.

Downstairs to eat breakfast, boss, butter, coffee, jam, since there are 2 more bread, a fried egg, in Europe had to know things are delicious, color, taste good, I look at the foreigner eat eat to figure on this point.

Because contact with friends, so 10 point he took us to the Windmill Village windmill, the road is still very far away.

Although some inconvenient, but the scenery you can see the cheese manufacturing process, or you can see the Windmill operating principle. Don't trip.

In the vicinity of the square there is a shopping street, there are Chinese restaurants, the shopping street, I don't remember where, but very famous.

You can see my photos, many famous brands are concentrated here, although the buy, but appreciate the window is a kind of enjoyment. Belgium chocolate is famous, I see a lot of brands are very famous, price of 20, 30 RMB, handmade chocolates, the price is 150 Yuan.

Neuhaus is the husband sent me a cable brands, prices are more expensive.

Almost 27 euros a cartridge.

Their packaging are very delicate.

Hurried after a swim, take a train to Paris.

Here also to mention that I pass out from Reuven to Paris by train, are all in a day, so whatever train is only count one day.

Although Brussels to Paris to locate, but overall, the still very effective. As if listening to buy tickets is 60 euros. I know it paid the localization costs.

5 p.m. or so to Paris, just go straight to the hotel, because my place rather, feel, and nearby are black, scary, huh, huh! don't even know they are doing, always gathered in the subway, Metro from us when they where, until we go to bed, they also where, oddly enough they don't have to go to work?

Because I live in the hotel are backpackers, room is very small, out of all the keys back to the foreground, but the front desk was very eager to answer my question, but it is important to note that Paris can speak English, not many people really, I always asked these days, asked dongwenxi no less than 10 individuals, as if no one speak English, so are they jumped, but fortunately I go out when the attractions of the French are written down, plus pictures, others can read it, otherwise, huh, huh, but also to ask for directions.

Fourth station: France/Paris/famous dongdong: luxury, cosmetic, perfume

30 may

Woke up, rushing in to wash up, took some breakfast, set off.

To do some homework before, but do not enough, so a point just wasting money.

Because I stayed 2 days in Paris, so I have long wanted to buy a Metro ticket, but I'm thinking, if I only go to the first day, then I Versailles palace does not need to buy a 2 day pass, I can buy 1-day, morning, my plan is to go to Notre Dame, and then went to Versailles, but if so, I took more because out Europe 1.5 one-way 1.5 Europe, Versailles is 2.8 Europe, Versailles to the city centre, is also, but if Europe 2.8 directly to Versailles is 2.8 Europe, back or to Notre Dame.

So I want to remind everyone that if you choose to go to Versailles, morning morning directly in the past, the more cost-effective. In addition, if you force the foot enough, in fact, many places do not need to take the subway, you can walk, so you do not buy a ticket, the ticket 2 days is 14 ', if you buy a one-way ticket, 10 in Europe by 1.1, is 11 euro in fact enough to spend 2-3 days.

I think the most useful line as follows, that is what I go through this experience summed up, because I was yet, so maybe unreasonable, let it be a reference.

First talk about the tour bus and sightseeing boat,

Bus 24 Euro/person, tour Eiffel, passing through: the champ de mars, muse du louvre, notre dame, muse d orsay, opera, champs elysees, the trocadero frand palais,-a day are available, but you can get on and off.

The boat is 11 euro, attractions not remember, but not in boarding, in Notre Dame can sit.

Route:

If you have enough time, it is recommended that you can in the question of Versailles and the Louvre, Versailles door day

Tickets Tickets for Europe, the Louvre 7.5 8 euro.

The first day

The morning went to Versailles versailles, Metro C line, get off at versailles rive gauche

And then walk 10 minutes, you will be able to.

Now being renovated, mess, I didn't go in, so do not know, but I heard that the garden is free, but I have not found the garden.

10 point into, to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, then stroll around, I still don't know my picture in the Dome Housing and that what is in the Red House.

You can sit out next to the invalides C line, change to Metro line 8 of the Paris Opera House opera.

The second day

Take the subway line C to the champ de mars, the Eiffel tour visiting the Eiffel Tower.

Really strong light, but lined up to buy tickets in person many, estimated to be over a period of time. And the Eiffel Tower in a straight line, should have 2 spots, but I have to go, one called the trocadero, the other seems to be government bodies, opposite the peace poles, towers are among them, so you to the Eiffel Tower, you can see the trocadero, then down the road at the other end, see peace pillar, the opposite is to say the Government authorities.

Then you can sit C line to st michel notre dame Paris Notre Dame

Notre Dame de Paris and Michel Cathedral is in a region, walk about 5-10 minutes.

Here you can see the beauty of the Seine, bridge can take a boat tour to Paris.

Although Notre Dame is because Hugo's novel is famous, but it was dark, and feel so old that it deems as Brussels Cathedral.

You can log Tower, but also money, 5.5 Europe.

In fact, the Arc de Triomphe etoile arc de triomphe in Paris Notre Dame, intermediate loops at both ends is Louvre musee du louvre, place de la Concorde, there is also a big concore Park, next to the Concorde, the road is the Champs elysees avenue des champs.

So if this ends as a starting point, and it is nice to walk all the way, all can see.

The third day

You can go in the morning, visit the Louvre to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then you can follow the road along the West, through Concord, to the end of the Arc de Triomphe.

Worth noting that online also referred to the Grand Palace small Palace, and the Alexander III bridge, I have not noticed, do not know whether it is missing or was not found.

In addition if you on each of the Museum are interested, you can buy a ticket, 2 days, 4 days 30 ' 45 euro, 60 Euro 6 days.

Shopping tips:

Paris is a desirable cities, but many friends tell me, do not go to Paris to buy things, because it would cost more than other cities.

Nevertheless, but Paris shopping recommender Miss smile and warm, so I always have to and they said no. Eventually not be able to resist their enthusiasm.

Paris to specific market duty free shop, if you purchase something, 175 Europe can enjoy 12% of the rebate, I too prices, and the airport duty free shop almost, but such as perfume, airport are 50ml, even more often than not, only buy 70ml, 100ml, so if you do not want to buy a large bottle, or you can buy in the city.

In addition, like micro-General cosmetics shop is not bought, or to the drugstore to buy, I think the price of domestic, almost as if nothing cheaper.

There is also the body shop, like it is not cheap. I ve been in Hong Kong to buy eye cream, like that of the 120-block, but in Paris, almost 13 euro, therefore does not seem to be so cheap people say, a lot of online information that duty-free shops can be cheap, 1/2, I do not think.

Say a few things that I buy, everyone can refer to

Clinique 3 bottles, 50ml cleanser, 100ml 30ml emulsion, water, model No. 3, 28.4 Europe

Bristol Ouquan 3 bottles, 50ml cleanser, 125ml 50ml emulsion, water, green bottle, 43.3 Europe

Ya Shi Landai 3 bottles, 5ml eye cream, 15ml essence, 50ml emulsion, send Remover wipes, a cosmetic bag,

46.4 Europe

Micro-attitude control oil day cream, is now placed on TV, domestic is 188, I buy is 17 European, so I think the price is really not much difference.

Over 175 Europe, 12% rebate.

50ml diaozhen I series, the oldest of the taste, the heavier ones, 55 Europe, 30ml, 47.5 Europe, and the flavor, than 5ml General perfume to upscale much, don't remember the number 108 Europe still is, but certainly more than 100 euro.

In addition, I also see Montreal's Swarovski Crystal shop, the truth of things and internally almost, the variety seems to be more, however the price really I do not think that cheap, I think there's even more expensive than domestic, but because I went out and did not compare prices before, so remember specific what price.

The other is lip gloss, because not very much money, so remember, like Dior are around 100-150 RMB cheapest is, L'Oreal, memory.

If you do not consider the brand, I feel H&a

Mp; M of it seems to be the cheapest, HA HA. I do not know the domestic price, because I like to stroll around the time did not find a cosmetic, but abroad as if her family have a lot of cosmetic products, lip gloss is a dozen renminbi and eye shadow or something, are super cheap, I see and a domestic Mentholatum. But because of too much, remember. If you want, you can learn more.

June 31,

Last stop:

Austria/Vienna, famous dongdong: because it is music, in addition to the Golden Hall, Vienna Woods SISI Princess, I do not know what is famous for.

Night sat night train from Paris to Vienna, half-way round the train, the details of foreseeable traffic columns.

1 morning only to Vienna, because I arrived on the station called westoahnhof, Hilton in mitte, so you will need to take the subway fare unified one-way 1.7 Europe.

In the west for U3 direction Simmering, to wien mitte, also called Landstrasse.

To the hotel, take a rest, and then began to make plans.

Since a very early age crazy evening with Princess, is also known from the film, the addition of Vienna is Strauss waltzes, knew the Vienna forest, grown up, every year new year's concert is a must-see, Golden Hall is also one of the purposes of this trip.

With this in mind, so I decided to buy more tickets ticket, the price is 22.5 Euro/person, so you can check out three areas:

The beauty of the palace 1.Tour spring Palace

Grand Tour

U3 zieglergasse

This place is sisi refuges, inside you can see what is the Palace of the arrangement, their comparison of surprise is the wall portraits of great art, confused is a sticker, or paintings, or what art is, in short here, because I was surprised too laments Palace beautiful sculpture and paintings, there are many fine exquisite decoration.

2. the hofmobiliendepot furniture collection it is a small museum

With the exhibition sisi in the movies-imperial furniture for the sets.

U3 herrengasse

This place is in fact just entered a bit disappointed, mainly showing a lot of movies, many many chairs, most impression like these.

3. hofurg Hofburg Palace

Imperial apartment

Sisi museum

Silver collection

U4 schonbrunn

Here are many at the time the vessels, candlestick, room layout, but feel as beautiful Springs Palace.

Tips:

1. a small museum is closed on Monday, so if you buy a ticket, make sure to see the date.

2. go to a small museum, and then go to the Hofburg Imperial Palace, in the end I went to beautiful Springs Palace, such lines, like what is seen more and more refined, gives the shock is increasing.

Other attractions:

St. Stephan Cathedral stephansdom

Karls kirche, this I did not find a Chinese name, but the building very conspicuous, near the Hofburg, the eye can see, because he is the Blue Dome, similar to Islam, but I didn't get it.

Opera House oper

Because I didn't go in, so it is not clear enough, just outside look, very near from the concert hall, walk 5 minutes is ok.

Musik verein

This is the legendary Golden Hall, Vienna Concert Hall.

A lot of lines that can be oper and karlsplatz, can, 2 stop is interoperability.

Price is 5 Euro/person, visit 2 Hall, because only English and German explanation, so forget another Hall name, golden hall, we called the Golden Hall, Vienna, however many people do not know.

But it explains, they are called, really strange. Maybe like Shanghai, many people do not know what is the Oriental Pearl Tower in English as well, haha.

Visit is time-limited, 13-point is in English, German, 13: 40, 30-40 minutes a day only 2 times, I do not know the weekend off.

We are very skillful in local encountered people of Shanghai, he told me, or I'll bite.

Because I look at the door, outside the performance been approached by night, he said that if I do not see performance, cannot be visited, but not actually, ticket office, you can visit. Just because both are German, seems to have no ticket office is English, a glass door, walk around, it certainly cannot be seen in the Empire State building, opposite the back door. Not that I don't know what the ticket office.

In future, really excited, but the Hall is also a piece of gold, and see on TV, but only one of almost makes me alarmed, Golden Hall so small, the Auditorium of the University than our stage is also small, but you see on TV, made me feel great, it is not surprising that the instructors also say, do and TV

See bit, which I did not imagine.

Other also have and I can imagine how much worse.

Tip

Hofburg Palace

In fact, we can visit is the Palace of several houses, but it's a great site, so if you do not have the time to go in, stroll around the square, walk around is also very interesting to buy a ticket at the sisi museum, it is estimated that you want to take a good look at it, HA HA, I look for a long time to find.

Vienna Woods

I imagine, or the scene in the movie, Strauss sat the cart, and then listen to trot and bird calls, but for all practical purposes it is not the forest area seems easy and progressive, we can enter a range of it seems to be, there is a castle, but because English is not good, so do not understand the full meaning, then should be taken into account, in the suburbs may time is not allowed, so there is no research.

An der donau I danube

Know the river or the River because Strauss, but also does not pass through the city, so there is no go.

Empire State building hotel imperial

Because Hitler, just know this hotel, luxurious and very expensive, it is said that Hitler had once lived in the 4th floor, there is a lot of Heads of State at the hotel.

Price list can see my picture, huh, huh.

Shopping

In the Hofburg and the United States Stephen Palace, anywhere you can see the shadow of sisi, travel articles, range, so the selection range is large, but to be honest, a lot of porcelain, really very good.

Just some more expensive.

May drawback of specified, purchase 75 stores, you can get a tax rebate of 13%, this seems better than Paris offers a lot, but I don't have carefully studied, because things are similar.

Summary:

This trip, come to a conclusion, abroad or want to learn German, many people do not speak English, especially in France.

There is a guide to English, English is not very good, or very general, I think it's important to compare with the mission, to effectively understand, but also very hard.

European travel notes 5-happy and regret

This time I go to the basic European tours in advance, according to me, there is no train set, nor did it like I see other people's travels, the hotel found no room or unauthorized change rooms, or rather smooth, making people very happy. But we found there a loss so completely prior arrangement good practice makes travel no room for flexibility, such as Baden Baden town, very fast, as that should stay an extra day for the best, now just left regrets. Tour of the weather is too great, no rain. But the European summer temperatures or than I expected, I was there when the maximum temperature is the highest time to 26 degrees, but most only 23-24 degrees, basic my emergency clothing is used in every day. I belong to compare the kind of rigor, the day the Sun came out feeling slightly warmer, the Sun didn't or cloudy, coat must be worn. So don't be afraid to go outside and play, backpack must be installed. About the car, I would like to say that if possible, or rent auto visor. Manual gear adaptation up is not easy, and roads are not familiar with, this way we had approximately 2000 km, LG has always been the status of the very nervous. This has also increased human fatigue, I think if automatic blocking, and many will be easy. When returning the car LG said, finally, and this poor car said goodbye, huh, huh, visible LG on this car had hated. Driving in Germany, I feel most in need of attention is the large turning and circle island. Germany's central island very many, many have no traffic lights at the crossroads, which is set to ring the island. Go around the island need to be parked in the central island observation, if the ring the island have a car, you will not be able to move around the island, but if you ring the island's car had already left, then you can enter the roundabout, follow this principle very orderly. The great turning, if there is a car on a direct track, the need for direct line first, then you can turn. If the straight road child more, then you can take before and after the straight distance between vehicle distance when free big turn. Rules although understand, but to really open up sometimes panic, this time you will encounter each other drivers of the "Watch" is puzzled look to you, read also edge head, LG several times for this depressed. If the rental car, GPS is very important, we need to take one. Booking online hotel, booked after confirmation letter in Chinese and English both, it is recommended that you set two all printed, the Chinese view their retention, English to the hotel. English is also a useful confirmation letter, that is, with latitude and longitude of the hotel. Yes, only the English letter of confirmation is, I don't know why, maybe the foreigner to the car more words the latitude and longitude numbers?, very useful, sometimes GPS input hotel name search is to enter the latitude and longitude of the method used to set goal! trip, sorry I just committed a lot of people's problems, that is greedy, can't wait to go places. Design journeys, I integrated a lot of travel experience, daily scheduled ride 200 km or so, one day, I think this should not be very tired. But the specific implementation I found every day, 200 km or too long. At home my LG drive fast cars is their own, very well. But the car is different to the speed, the car is not your own. This resulted in 200 km to open 3 hours or so, sometimes long, plus find the hotel, Check in, so basically every morning on the way, only in the afternoon to play, sometimes even to dusk, this greatly impact our tourism quality. I think if you go, I'll cut one or two small town, take steps to slow down, get more time to experience the charm of small town in Germany. Paris I left a lot of time and 5 days. But feels the time is not enough, so play with it very tired. If one day just go to one place, then a more leisurely pace. But Disney's day wasted, because Paris Disney is not worth, followed by Hong Kong Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland in Shanghai, whether in terms of timing, economically discardable that category. But this is unfortunately nothing because Paris in my heart is definitely not only go to one place, this romantic and a heavy sense of history is definitely a city worth a go go! I remember in one article read, say a journey to the 12-13 days will have the feeling of tiredness. This time, realized that. Later days indeed feel tired, not just the physical and psychological. When the excitement of the early years is over, the landscape of stunning are also significantly lower, I even started homesick, so at the end of the trip had finally can go home feeling. If you are not a person of special exuberant energy, it is recommended that each time the travel time should not exceed 15 days to Europe tourist, I not only read online in advance many travels, his book also bought a lot can be said to have done enough homework, go with the two books, but these two books, I think the most useful, even when abroad is the most helpful, one is the Paris 5 days 4 nights, one is the Germany, a book on the GO! ". Another book is read by before you leave, is also helpful, but do not need to carry out, the name is "start" in the United Kingdom travel. The hotel I said, the Basic are set above the booking.com. Many people like to be family hotel that feels cheap, but I don't like it, feel it is to other people the feeling of home, makes me feel uncomfortable. And family hotel in all aspects of conditions of affirmation and a hotel, so I was booked in the hotel. Let us impressed by the hotel, there are three, an apartment-style hotel is Oxford, on hotels.com, this hotel is super high price and let us not forget. There are two homes is on booking.com, a home is Ruedesheim hotels, a family is Baden Baden hotel. Ruedesheim hotels is because of magic of the Rhine, and form Hotel Baden Baden is unlimitedRural scenery, make people feel themselves to be a person in the picture. Is there anything else? Ah yes, costs. All through my travels of people must have the feeling that we daily dinner must be in a restaurant eating, sometimes afternoon tea in the afternoon, or sweets, whenever I see ice cream is always tempted to one. In a Word, eating is arbitrary. Live, I basically follow the 40 euro per person per day in standard arrangement. Plane ticket, did not set to the lowest price. In such cases, the cost per person is 3 million Yuan. Which ticket $, other food lives $ row 2. I see a lot of people are talking their poor tour experience, including how to saving meals, how to find the cheapest accommodation. To be honest, I don't really agree with. Going abroad travel itself is the costliness, if you eat living demanding yourself, then the significance of tourism? of course, many people have the ability to search the airfares, or using integral for free accommodation, and so on, this kind of cheap, of course, is not the White is not accounted for. The final conclusion I came to consolidate my use of the site, which I used and determine the payment can be credit card online and secure website (I am white mice, hehe). United Kingdom: http://www.eastcoast.co.uk railway network, the site I purchased London to Oxford and Cambridge train ticket to London. United Kingdom bus: http://www.megabus.co.uk, this Web site I purchased an Oxford to Cambridge by bus. Eurostar: http://www.eurostar.com, the website I bought many things, Eurostar London to Paris by train, boat ticket for Paris, Paris hopon hopoff tickets Tickets for Versailles, Paris Disney tickets, etc. France rail network: http://www.sncf.com, this website I have purchased a ticket for the train to Amsterdam, Paris. This site is available in English and French versions. Reservation: http://www.booking.com, this website I booked most of the hotel, there is no need to pay in advance, to the front of the payment, in the end I was all the rooms are all with a credit card. Http://www.hotels.com, this website provides a premium Oxford Hotel. Http://www.eloog.com, this website also provides a few special room. Order network: http://www.autoeurope.cn, this website I booked rental car, and advance rental payment in full. But this site makes me more confused, at the beginning I do not know, is in English online looking for car, then know that the Chinese network, choose the search text in and out of cars than the English network, did not understand what the reason. But here the car is relatively easy, it would follow the model chosen for you the car rental company. That is, it is the integration of various car rental company's website, there is a 24-hour service hotline in Chinese, worthy of recommendation.

Floating light glimpse of France Italy (8) of Bordeaux, France

Floating light glimpse of France Italy (8)

France's Bordeaux

The air is translucent, high-visibility, with France's country music, mood very distant, enjoy, feel dull. Reminds me of the known sequence of verse: "flies and perching in full strength, with a total length of sky". Beautiful Zhuang Ah!

We are also happy to stroll stroll, placed themselves.

Who is the champion of France, Bordeaux wine as a synonym of France, wine of the world's best level Winery are clustered in Bordeaux: Lafayette, graphs, Shepherd, Wudang Wang, song.

So speaking of Bordeaux wines, in addition to suck mouth, leaving only the vertical thumbs.

Bordeaux is a party "in the Shui" mean.

Its vineyards are mainly located in the Gironde River and Garonne and Dordogne River, elegant charming rustic, Evergreen vineyards in the Valley stretches to expand, in the light of changes in like a beautiful oil paintings. Bordeaux Castle is Winery, mark the Castle wine is usually the best Bordeaux wines.

Read these, you're like me and think that Bordeaux is a production of grape wine farm! NO NO, Bordeaux is we all have seen South of France the most beautiful city! here are Louis XV era crafted Court square, France's most beautiful theater, France Michel de Montaigne, philosopher Montesquieu thinkers of the statue of Kham, square hole, let you know this famous art city, a city of history and classical architecture, on behalf of the city.

Enter the city, the streets and spacious, architectural simplicity and a sense of history, modern transport vehicles seemed to tell you that he not only has a distinguished yesterday, more of this life, modern and historical good together, reflects a different harmony.

So just put some pictures up, really makes people reluctant to part with the beautiful town. If you have a chance, I'll self-tour Bordeaux, staying a few days, stroll around, then every day to get drunk, or not drunk, gathered with feeling good!

We, this time to the Pope Winery.

View wine, wine tasting, buy wine. Well not happy!

(Pope Winery LOGO spelling of lawn)

(Wine in oak barrels, now is the season for the village, still stand, with a subtle sheen)

(Storage room, full of oak barrels, the wine is in it, the wine without oak aromas are inferior to many?)

(This Chair but--oh, 700 years ago, the founder of Pope Winery has old possessions)

Well, after the Pope visited winery, wine of course going to taste, today received our shop took out a bottle of red wine 135 euro, let us taste, even the tour guides are wishers, straight first Ah, usual is 10 euro cent red wine dine together, is it France fellow also know we live lunar new year, giving us an unexpected HAPPYHAPPY? too! perhaps Chinese consumption capacity is too strong, and knew we were big clients, wine sales tactics have been adjusted, as long as the work of the Chinese people are seriously?

Lol hell.

Of course, is to draw, pinpin first! well, sure enough, winy mellow tannins, is the taste slightly sour. Really know everything. Or get dry. Anyway, I want to buy some bottles to take home, to the elderly expression expression, the wine is a wine while at more health features, most elderly people drink drinkIs suitable, but hate the package too little, unhook (must have shipping), think you can only buy 3 bottles. Well, according to the wine year buy traveller, 2005 is the grape harvest is quite good on the left bank of the year, and the right products are no problem, let a handsome guy to pick 3 bottles of 2005.

Friends are very powerful, but took a bottle of 2001, 160 euro, big yet. Comparable with small Rafi? it is said that now a bottle 06 years Rafi market at 3 million. Red wine is luxury!

Therefore, the Guide always speak to us, the European countries to have depression should put him to China to have a good workout exercises, which are not the same as the long santouliubi, so inefficient have depression, mainly the pressure is too small, not too bitter. Think really is, so this disease mainly or free time too much, forget it forget it, find the singers and Oh?

(Buy wine, liquor, concern all inputs)

(Acres of vineyards, the latter housing is the castle of Pope winery)

Great piece on the way we play!, if there is such a wine, don't just half of what large, alas, is seeking the AHA's ultimate dream of many people.

Well, luggage and heavy 3 kg, however, came back to regret you should buy 2 bottles of, not enough to drink, not enough.

The evening also went to the River in the restaurant buffet, who is the Wenzhou people, very warm and thoughtful, it is a good businessman, restaurant also operates great, location is also beautiful, beside the River, reaping good and suitable for walking, accidentally took a lovely view of the River, there are as many as I love the deep blue of the sky, fast! I put the magic rabbit on cement barrier stronger took two, than in Milan that clear, mainly without shaking because exposure time is long, this is key.

This will undoubtedly also deepened my favor to Bordeaux. This time I and LG summary, the color must be a European time of 6: 20 or so, very briefly, is twice as often happens to be that time period we are in a bus. This is an exception, so we were pleasantly surprised.

(The Garonne River, morning and evening, there are many people here fitness: running, cycling, walking the dog, skating)

Lunch so full that it's not hungry, not to mention cuisine with the same noon, indeed mention no appetite, directly into the hotel, is the only one big bed room, spacious hotel comparison, wanted to go for a walk, and rain, LG is actually a rather boring, too lazy to move into the room does not want to go out, look at the increasing rain, I also had to be dropped.

It is in the room and dance exercise.

The difference may be completely round, the hotel has spacious and comfortable bed, this evening beautiful slept the sleep.
