2002 Paris Tour

2002/9/29

Paris a week then unknowingly passed.

Paris really is a people cannot do not like the city.

A city full of historical monuments, cultural and artistic atmosphere is just oozing in each corner. At any time in the streets can not help to see an ancient arched doors, an exquisite sculpture, a 400 years ago built a big house, former residence of a famous person, a big Park, the ground is white sand, the Green Garden and quiet.

Seine quietly flows.

Unbroken bridges over the River, the river and a handful of cruise ships, occasionally also accidentally heard Chinese tour guide on board the voice "this is art bridge, it is the new bridge, is the first of the Seine bridge. "River Willow leisurely in the wind shook. Sunday River also has a small market, France people like various types of cheese and sausage, there are several small cities in the Horn do their tourism advertising, very much alive. On the right bank of the River bookstalls on many don't understand the old track obvious law instruments and various weird art. Einstein the tongue painting constantly visible. River Central two small islands let River divided and hop, hop and points.

Notre Dame at the Cite island.

When is Sunday morning, just in the Church, NOK large church full of people, such as the crucian carp tourists through the sides of the aisle. Pipe organ with beautiful choir singing, so that people do not want to leave. This is a Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary, with the birth of Jesus from the from the cross down various sculptures, stained, are Jesus or Mary. From Notre-Dame out small park there is a picture of the market, many paintings, but didn't feel that there are people like it.

Mancheng scenery, not doing anything specific to their journeys.

Meetings and work of spare time to go anywhere. From the hotel by walk to the River. Walk East Island, along the road towards North, unknowingly left to Pont-du Centre. The strange great pipeline and surrounded by walls reinforced so that the building looks like a construction site is under construction, hard to believe this is the National Arts Centre. Time is already late, didn't seem to see the exhibition, just go once a small necessities Arts design exhibition, many colorful streamlined design.

Hotel behind their national hero Memorial (Pantheon), it was translated into the Pantheon (Aux grands hommes, la patrie reconnaissante, to the great people that recognizes the country), may be more appropriate.

A huge dome building, 20 m, large white cylindrical. The weather was fine, lunch is holding just bought Quiche sitting in a post at the foot with a flock of pigeons eat, they put all the crumbs are completed, the movie also. Memorial Hall basement (Crypt), there are many famous people of France, writer, philosopher, statesman, and so on of the Tomb, such as Voltaire (Voltaire), Rousseau (Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)). But the arrangement of the order very strange, Hugo and first serve African colonial magistrate of black people in a column. Guidelines on that Curies, but could not find. It is said that there is a Hall of Fame (forgot the name) of the heart here.

Go to the Eiffel Tower.

Windy and cold. Continuous line up, finally from the ground up to the second layer, and then on the third floor, on the top level only. Look at the top of the Tower, the Seine River in Paris, the whole town winds, large and small bridges like floating small ribbon attached to the cross-Strait. The sagas of buildings throughout the city square, neat, Middle dotted with several dome building, there are several round once in a while. Louvre pyramid without difficulty on the river bank buildings to find.

The Louvre Museum on Tuesday to not open, so he went to the Northwest of the Arc de Triomphe.

The first great de Jardin des Tuileries garden. Then know that it was a Royal Garden, no wonder it's so magnificent. The yard is very human sculpture, very typical of European art. China will not have such a sculpture garden child placed. Unfortunately didn't get camera shoot some down. Garden two very large fountain, the reeds on a lot of cool umbrellas and chairs, tourists sit in the Sun in twos and threes, see pigeons. There is a piece of green space, multicolored flowers in four surrounding the were brilliant. Through the gardens to the Concorde, the central authorities of Egypt sent 1836 year 1330, built of stone steles Obelisque, the hieroglyphics above many of Egypt. Monument of art shipping this tablet figure, this tablet is a complete shipment, don't know then how can people moved farther this more than 10 m in a block of stone.

The Concorde is the Champs Elysees Avenue (Avenue des Champs Elysees).

Champs Elysees is immortal, sidetracked, do not know the "aroma" and "Shangri-La Tibetan RI" is not the same? street front of beautiful, along the two lines of trees is very big, but not the other Paris streets common the Indus. Some have already started in red, autumn leaves in the notice. The street was very large, 8 or 10 lane. Pavement is an ancient brick, concave concave convex in many places, special car through sound. On the road with a man and a woman in wandering, we passed, followed up and asked "do you speak Mandarin?" and I will return to the sentence. The woman said: "we are the home to the ..." she would say, I see them wearing strange, women dressing like they weren't good people, like fear and that lie said wallet like costumes, so they didn't stop to listen to her, saying, I am sorry it was a vague farther. I didn't expect such a fraud abroad. Hope they want without fault.

After this avenue to bustling shopping street.

Just like the Kowloon Park Avenue, are very famous, hilarious. Pour a few know the brand, remember that GAP, ubiquitous MacDonald is a must. There is a chain of fast food outlets, called QuickBurg, a Q-letter symbols, probably France's own brand. France's national pride this time I was really saw. Here to see a lot of things, United States (apart from McDonald 's, but are everywhere. From this point you can see the United States culture penetration power) English books in the bookstore almost doesn't see much, restaurant brand also is French, the waiters are also available in English, but the usual General shop people would be out of the question. We go to an Internet and print a small shop for both of them do not speak English, have a problem, every time I had to go through gestures. The most curious is that during the meeting, they should have most of the time is in French, at the opening ceremony of the 1967 personal statement, only the Prof. Jean-Marie Hombert one with English. In such an international meeting, I find it inappropriate. Got my half lecture had to know and to see their syllabus confused listen back, or simply your own look. However, many United States United Kingdom teachers their French is good, many have a up to a French opening remarks. Wang said that also can not blame France's conservative French, to know that a century ago international language is French. When we Chinese are also used in the international meeting, let these foreigners "gweilo" to learn Chinese, it is good. I believe that such a day. (Way down the line: christophe before yesterday we in Marseille on the seaside of the tell me when chatting with prof. Hombert because it took the English at the meeting, someone told him, he may therefore be reviewed. Christophe said do not know whether it is open to the court hearing, if it is, he will go to see. I asked him to turn back a message must tell me. He is not afraid to say jean-marie, he waited for the opportunity to debate with them. I really don't see jean-marie is a character so tough man, now I won't be surprised that he will have previous stories. 2002-10-15)

Arc de Triomphe at the end of the street.

The photos look a lot closer to the look that is nothing special, especially in the bustling crowd feel camera. But through the tunnel, go to the door of the soles of the feet, or a deterrent for his magnificent. It is said that Napoleon in order to commemorate the occasion (and the odd Coalition?) war victory. The Earth has many Memorial inscription of the war, was slain soldiers above the wall. A bunch of long open flames flickering in the wind, a few flowers placed nearby.

Wednesday found time to go to the Louvre.

Standing in the design of the glass pyramid, i., NOK large hall with a lot of visitors. Three large Museum: Sully, Richelieu and Denon, four stories high, so I have got lost don't know where to start. Chose Sully, that is to look at the history of the Louvre. And then quickly saw the Venus de Milo, Sphinx, the goddess of victory. Also easily found to see the Mona Lisa. Through the long galleries of Denon, soon found the Mona Lisa. In the crowded with half the crowd at the Hall, then a painting hanging in it alone. Her smile is so carelessly, watching the tide come and go. Many people, like me, to him, holding a camera trying to shoot, and then nobody can stay good look for a minute, hurriedly left. But there are several people that is stood motionless gaze for a long time. To see a lot of African Asian works of art, but can't find I'd love to see the painting of Monet. Time not earlier, had to return home after that. There is no subway, along the River, it is not difficult to find with the hotel. Quite satisfied, because instead of wasting time on the ground in a very troublesome station goes up, and in between the River recognize Bridge Road, very enjoy recognition.

A few days of so Paris Tour.

At the same time, the meeting was very good, a lot of the latest academic progress, see some macroeconomic problems, like language and human relations, the evolution of language evolution mechanism from now there is no record of the last reconstruction, is repeated, and inspire a lot of thinking.

Last night, after the opening up to the China Hotel by fumanlou afford a meal with the Wenzhou proprietress and Chaozhou boss couples said goodbye.

They were also particularly a lot in them to Spain Holiday was the locals after selling the House, there are going to Italy not find you can eat Chinese Rice's interesting. The day seems to be the Premier Zhu Rongji was in France, is his European tour's last stand.

Meal, back to the hotel took the camera to go in to the River, and came across a bridge to the band.

Images of the Seine River Rock, singer lazy voice singing Dream me in your dream, to the Paris Tour was a perfect picture.
