Stunning Paris 3-day (2)

Day 2: the main tour + shopping + Pompidou

The next morning the mist of 7 points quickly hear rain overhead glazing, secretly called is not good, and slept for a half hour rain down stopped.

When I go out and have some sunshine. It is strange that in Paris, the rain to go faster, but also fast visit Pompidou when this evening.

Today visitors from the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Concorde, the tuilerie gardens, Notre-Dame.

The Louvre is left to slowly look again tomorrow, there is another reason is that tomorrow is the first Sunday of April, the Louvre, free admission, you can save money.

Saturday after the rain in the early morning air purifiers, Paris Street pedestrian also rarely, you may have in the bed.

In fact, I start time is not long, but take the Metro to the Eiffel Tower of time has not yet started to sell lift ticket, I get are from the Trocadero, from Chaillot Palace until you get to the Tower, to be honest, a close look at the feeling is not very good, Tower of the patchy the rusty stain on the very obvious. Because the weather was cloudy, but a little cold, I really have no interest in climbing tower only took few photos wanted to rush to go to the Arc de Triomphe. Returned when the Chaillot Palace suddenly saw several best selling travel souvenirs of blacks ran down, followed by two police officers chasing. Ah, so there are unscrupulous traders, not by recall the Beijing street Bureau enforcement officers chasing undocumented woman selling vegetables. It is the same identical.

From Trocadero-for 6 x 3 station quickly to the Arc de Triomphe, while in maintenance, many places on the iron shelves, but after all, is the Arc de Triomphe Etoile, wall relief or beautiful.

I took some photos later suddenly one Northeast couples I go by, the original is to borrow my passport to buy a LV bag. I also really didn't bring a passport, their thanks no quibble I. Fragrant street pedestrian scarce, after all, it's not tourism season, one week after the Easter holidays will be different. I'm glad to come early, you can enjoy the silence. The beauty of fragrant Street, in my view primarily on both sides of the building and landscaping. I am in the small garden in the street as an exquisite Roman fountain, surrounded by green grass and wildflowers in full bloom, really nice.

Along with the street for half an hour I got to the Concorde, en route to see the two giant LV large luggage compartment of the advertisement, a novel, but because of the lack of interest in the brand, or to shop at.

Concorde's obelisk sky, but I prefer is North and two beautiful symmetry of the fountain, a lot of people here. North of fountain behind not far from the famous Madeleine Church, the white temple-like building and I was amazed at once.

Further to the East, I quickly to the tuilerie gardens.

There are no concrete, dirt track, a broad perspective, the middle one is round man-made Lake, three two wild ducks in leisure playing in the water, a peaceful scene. Lake sporadic placed many chairs, if you will also have time to scratch a book here free reading half day, eh, hairlines!

Unfortunately I had to get somewhere, otherwise it's like to sit for a while.

After a small arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, near at hand, because you do not intend to visit today, I got to sit on the side of the entrance to Notre Dame, the Louvre underground subway of the entrance hall is very big, with many shops, bookstores, etc, also very nice, I glanced, did not stop aside for too long.

Line 7 to Chatelet, swap sat 4 line a station to Cite, MTR station just a up to see the famous Notre Dame de Paris in the second half, high up in the magnificent and mysterious.

MTR is the correct place is the famous flower market, but in my opinion it is too small. Moving in the direction of Notre Dame, after around a few times at the front of it, they say, Notre Dame any direction are very beautiful, sure. Slowly walking along the Seine to the square in front of Notre Dame, seething, here I am sitting a suffer a little carry of dry food. Paris's romantic, a couple of the square is the Central show French Kiss, kiss a good few minutes, as in no-man and nature, simply ignore the surrounding with so many people, I am dumbfounded. Eating something, I'll be selling souvenirs on the square of the small stalls attracts, yet open to the booth with Chinese Hello and I say hello, but he only Hello and thank you for these two words, say several times, almost make me happy, and finally I bought several small key chain. Think of yourself, and not only French Hello and thank you for these two words, also laugh at others. I along with the flow of people from the Church the right side of the entrance to the Church, was immediately outside a noisy Church quiet replaced by large glass Windows, mosaics for stunning, each screen is the story of Christianity. In the Church things on both sides of each shrine before they placed a box of cartridges of candles, if you put the 2 euro coin can ignite a, placed in a circle-shaped candles for the stage.

Out of the Notre-Dame, didn't go a few steps that will see the famous Pompidou, did not expect this two places from so close.

Pompidou's gate a long length of service, I remember seeing travel guide that should be in the evening come to visit you can avoid long team. Watch, only two in the afternoon, think of the procurement task has not been completed, quickly headed home. From Hotel de Ville do subway back to shelter from the passport and money to do a direct metro to the Lafayette, on the Metro, just feel voices, with the cold last night was radically. Into the arcade feel very closely arranged booths, crowded feeling, a layer of all cosmetics, bags, etc. My procurement goal is perfume. Around in a circle, feel the price is cheaper than China, some more expensive than domestic, and finally decided to buy 4 bottles of Lancome Miracle of 30ml. 20% discount per bottle hit, 25 euro, 100 Ocean. Also gave some sample. Lancome's Attraction was a 25 euro a bottle, it is cheaper than domestic. It would also like to buy some cute little perfume, but looking for a long time didn't find any. Had to be dropped. Buy through fragrantWater, make the elevator to the second floor, so feel crowded, see a pretty cloth bag, to 20 euros, at the Made in China, originally.

Because the heart also steal Pompidou, I quickly back to the hotel, down things to rest for a moment on the subway and the back.

At this time is about 6 pm, few people queuing up a lot, but it is known in the wrong place, I thought to visit the Museum of modern art, go to the one to three layers of BPI library, library reading room for young people, great, reminds me of up North. I came downstairs, return to the lobby, which it found the ticket office. I tell the ticket I want to visit the Museum of modern art, she asked me how old he was, I said the 28-year-old. She told me to joke that: Too Late. She said these things, I suddenly remembered the Pompidou website seemed to say 25-year-old following cheap a few euros. Sure enough, my fare is 7 euro, 25 euro if under the age of 5. Hey, I then thought being just "put tender", but also can save 2 €. However recommended that you mix or not defy the law, in case you want to check the documents showing the not good. I bought tickets from outside of the building has an elevator to the fourth floor, on four or five two-tier is the National Museum of modern art. Six layer is the Exhibition Hall, French write Exposition, every month a different exhibition, I buy a ticket is not able to go in. 4th floor, the door is a large wall, the wall a lot of gear, that later comes out only to find they can run. The Museum exhibits strange, for me this art layman some really difficult to understand, perhaps any of the art of innovation is a new form of COS a bunch of people to their own body paint, and then on paper is rolling. This rolls out two pictures suddenly hanging on the wall, also with the creation of the whole process of recording. The most ridiculous is a site called the Ultimate Color painting, full paper is black, not a thing, I think it is better known as the "night of the Raven"! but here or there are many famous works, such as Picasso, Matisse, some installations are also worth a visit. It should be noted that where photographers can not use Flash.

Four-layer just visit the day rain, downstairs in the square to do drama, swallow fire, art en masse.

When I visited out five layers, rain fall down. Through the glass window far to see the distant white Basilica, and Opera's top two golden sculpture. Almost 8 point, and days not yet dark, I feel physically can, without holding a subway map successful searching back to the hotel.
