Walking in Paris
Because the time difference, at five o'clock in the morning woke, just going to take advantage of the dawn can walking in Paris. After getting up in China found the room the size of the hotel are equipped with electric water heater, so please call the hotel to some hot water; we deliver results for five minutes after the waiter knocking at the door, side came in an exquisite neat platters, lining with white table cloths, neatly to stack a kettle, two pallet cups and coffee spoon, included two chocolate; more let us silent is a very delicate small cup, which was a rose afloat. Really did not expect a simple request could be have hot water in the hotel so much fuss and sent us a set of things that we hesitate to repeatedly, also had to put in the tray in sandwiched by two euros as a tip, sigh ... Coffee, and days still dark when we walked out of the hotel door. Follow the Dulles Lai Garden of North along to the Northwest direction, through the Concorde, the legendary famous Champs Elysees Avenue. Sunday morning, almost a pedestrian street, only the bright lights and the roar of the motor vehicle from around flashed. Numerous famous shops in dim light of the morning are under before open belongs to sleep during the day, or even require flow control, queued will be able to enter in the Louis Vuitton, the world's largest flagship store now is not the only person in the ice-like shop glass reflects the two of us. When the sky slowly brightly when we had gone out in the street, in fact, the mind is able to find a coffee shop for a cup of coffee, eat a bread for breakfast, perhaps because the time is too long, so several kilometers to go down even a door of the shop. Finally we come to the Arc de Triomphe and hunger. The cool of the Arc de Triomphe sends out the awe-inspiring cold, but maybe because in TV or photos see too much, and now we're standing in front of the Arc de Triomphe, on the contrary, no special feeling, feel free to shoot two photos. In the streets near the Arc de Triomphe in did not seem to go head like flies two laps, but finally returned to the Champs Elysees Avenue; see the street looks like there is a bakery, quickly rushed over bought two cups of coffee and several French song of bread; sat may on the second floor in front of the large Windows and enjoy the warm breakfast, suddenly feel that heat is a whole body, who is also warm and excited again. Continuing our trip, a Middle Road, also through a crowded flea market, but the vast majority of things are not too attractive. Soon we walk to the edge of the Seine, far across the Tower has seen derricks in sight. Only the weather is not very good, the whole of Paris were a layer and haze visibility hangs, Tower Spire are almost invisible. Finally we finally went to the Tower; looked up and looked up the 300-meter monster, found it better than I imagined a much more ambitious. In the Tower of a portal has some beginning to line up ready to lift tower; while boarding we think today the weather is marginal, decided to stay logged into tomorrow Tower. After the discovery of this decision or very wise. So we did not stay here, move on. Through long God school field, all the way from time to time look still towering in the Tower, but the distance, the Eiffel Tower and haze visibility is getting blurred. Take the subway to the Paris Opera House; catch is free on Sunday, the Opera House, and we have also included a visit. But it is not our visitors to Opera's main purpose, to buy two tickets then here's Ballet tickets is true. However come to the box office, but not open on Sunday, was told to buy tickets for the can only come back tomorrow – well, then all the way along the road back to the Hotel Opera. At noon on the next to buy two sandwich and a bottle of Coke (500 ml, € 2.5 ~ wow Le), go to the opposite du Le Lai Garden, sitting in the Sun, the shade, the Green edge, enjoy a fountain, also relatively comfortable, fast food is expensive in prices in Paris, the most economic method of resolving lunch. After lunch, afternoon's main goal is to get the Louvre — even the Lonely Planet books say the Louvre is probably the most reluctant world tourists visit the Museum, which is also true; large area and many of the exhibits is prohibitive. For our part, visiting the Louvre seemed to be a had to complete the task. Had previously in Italy visit Vatican Museum experience, I know that in this ocean of classical art in Europe, the lack of relevant knowledge, background and cultural knowledge, we can easily lose their orientation; good management of the Museum are also well aware of this, all major directly in a prominent position on the road up the famous works of thumbnails and signs to guide our soft Club visitors go straight to these legendary masterpiece. Nothing to say, that he is illiterate, hypocrisy and pretend to do each one by one to appreciate the past exhibits, this can only be wasting my time and energy, we will look at the "Mona Lisa" what? a road just after the sculpture statue without a head wings and the rock of the time between the Virgin and examined. The former is because, after all, it is a well-known masterpieces, the latter because of Dan Brown's best-selling book to the students the da Vinci Code ", after all, is also the works of Leonardo da Vinci, and according to the book describes this piece depicts the Virgin Mary, Jesus and John of religious works which, in fact, there are a lot of being intentionally or unintentionally omit details against religion; and on these details to expose and narrative is chilling — because they have not read the book of friends or are you going to buy an original look. Here, visit the Louvre to us has been changed to a treasure hunting game. In this game, we walked along the long promenade and stepped back and forth at the school, looking for my very barren art knowledge in conducting those classic works, to find a will and exultation; whereas in addition of 9 per 100 metres of the famous masterpieces are 99 so tragically was lost to disregard our gorgeous, well-protected treasure hunt game background image only — so it's like those famous masterpieces of disrespect. In this way, we successfully find the Mona Lisa, the Venus of MiloGoddess of victory, the Queen's Coronation, and so on, and then use the camera in the hands of the sentries down — is a standard of illiteracy around Louvre, baotiantianwu Oh, shame, shame. Even so, probably just go one-third of the exhibition hall, is already a person trapped horses spent, back pain, and Visual and beauty sleep is already oversaturated and fatigue. Look at a few great gems have been had we linxing's sake, this thorough. Then we select the location of the hotel's geographical superiority and finally fully articulate manner embodied, opposite the Louvre, HA HA. Soon be able to return to the hotel, one of the bed to rest. Take a look at a little time in the afternoon, decided to use the rest of the time today to get Notre Dame. Take the subway to the municipal square, then cross the bridge. West of the Sun to the finely crafted by the magnificent Notre-Dame coloured a golden color, look-end is aesthetically Mellon; sitting in front of the square began chanting Ballet ostān Milada Classique's music, it can be considered for the occasion, huh, huh. Seen enough of the Notre Dame after further studies a; just catch the Church during the mass, we would like to follow visitor's identity, beside watched priests, monks and nuns led all believers hymn chanting ceremony. Notre Dame's internal decoration with appearance like gorgeous aesthetic brilliant, however, will not repeat them in detail. Notre Dame, in the adjacent Island dinner, to a large piece of duck liver, taste good, but know that this thing would be of high cholesterol, heart contrition. He then returned to the hotel on foot from here — also dislike this day is not long enough, walked enough? I admire myself! Paris on the first day, walking through the numerous attractions including: the Concorde-Arc de Triomphe – the Eiffel Tower – g-school field – Paris Opera-Louvre-Notre Dame, the high point of the metamorphosis, hmmm.
