Champs Elysees Avenue West in homes is the Arc de Triomphe, at the eastern end of the Concorde. This is known as the bustling streets of very broad, Beehive, but not as we are familiar with large cities that signs up colorful spectacle. Although the streets are luxurious shops, restaurants, cafes and famous department stores Printemps and Lafayette also on this street, made sure that the world's top brand you can find it here, but here were no touting their wares of, I can't help but think this bustling is advanced is deep.

Because of the time, because of economic relations, brand-name merchandise is not in our interest goals.

Through the Champs Risha Street straight ahead, arrived at Dulles Lai Garden (DOMAINE NATIONAL DES TUILERIES). Garden square in the middle of the wall next to the main channel, the row with a slip a few ten Chair, several people up, male and female have old, where you sit in the Sun, so lazy so casual very comfortable! who says stolen life half day free is not a kind of happiness?

The du Le Lai Garden is the Concorde (PLACE DE LA CONCORDE).

The square was built in 1763, named "Louis XV square", the name of the Concorde began in 1795. Revolution has been used as a torture chamber, Queen of Louis XVI and there are many famous people here has sent to the guillotine.

The center of the square stands the 1831, Egypt Governor complimentary, three thousand years of history, the Temple of Luxor from West Nile shipped from Egypt Obelisk.

The tablet was carved from a block of granite, high 23 m weight 230 tons, engraved with ancient Egypt text. The foundation stone of the base record on Obelisk delivery and erection process.

Left end of the north side of the square there is a partially gold-plated bronze fountain, on two levels for the Lotus-shaped, the lowest round fountain in six people who fish tail of bronze statues, their hands all hold gold fish.

Fountain spurts every few minutes, the water column at a time of water from the fish's mouth to top-level Jet, and top-level purgative water from each other, so that the whole square is full of angry.

This street 20, is the Office of the Chinese Embassy. Daughter's passport expires in July, so we take this line the way to handle the renewal procedure.

Office Hall has a lot of people are waiting for, had to take a number patiently sat on the couch and wait for the station.

Hall very is hilarious, next to the two ladies with Zhejiang words and preceding a couple a days talking loudly, running the kids do not know why to cry; after a while, I do not know where the accent who took out cell phone to call jiliguala ... When we come before you to France several times of France in Guangzhou, in the Consulate, the Guard will remind you to turn off the notes.
