Paris, art, I have finally!, for saying people proud for some help in English, just arrived at the Charles de Gaulle airport, I deeply appreciate that. Detract from the fact that a capital airport, English signage was little, almost all of them is the only French language, perceptive somewhat less point man, I really don't know what to do. However not logical reasoning too much, because although many signs, but did not indicate the direction of the arrow, such as every 10 meters there is a brand name lists all of the terminal Services such as taxis, information center, train station and the like, but no arrows tell you to go to the left or to right away, simply illogical. Later in France for a few months friends met knew that this is the style of France who do things: If there's one thing you can do or not do, then France people definitely choose not to do, even if they do, most of them don't rely on the spectrum. So friends, France, especially in Paris, is a haven for the arts, science and health of hell. In the Paris subway system in the labyrinth-like twist, finally found the living hotel, managed traffic is fairly easy. Put down your luggage is rushing out the door, because before nightfall to several large spots will go in a circle. (Now Paris 5 p.m. half dark) first on the MTR to the Arc de Triomphe. If we say that Europe is "bar road to Rome", Paris is a "bar road passes the Arc de Triomphe". Around the Paris landmark buildings, 12 large and small roads radiate to the streets of Paris. It is said that night of the Arc de Triomphe ablaze, most are spectacular, but unfortunately we have no time to wait until that time, he took a few "to such a tour" photos, you walked along France's Chinese mouth "fragrant Street", that is the way forward on the Champs Elysees Avenue. Speaking of "sweet Street" this name is always made me feel very xiangyan, but this world-famous street, but it is the famous everywhere, but there is nothing special, except for unscrupulous, rampage of pigeons. Go to the Concorde, friend give me explanation, this square how France highlighted in the construction of the atmosphere. Great Plaza, plus statue, fountain, Obelisk, basically is designed to show the strong and built in France. The obelisk, I am not ashamed of France were: Egypt's Antiquities for themselves, but also in the capital Centre of the square, impudence than wall corner also three-inch thick. Go on, Alexander III bridge, the opposite is the magnificent Galeries. From the bridge to look at it in its entirety have felt grandeur, and went to look at the main building, jinqian felt it necessary to have such a scale that deserve a formidable Napoleon. Unfortunately we arrived too late, the main building is closed, no way to see inside the docking of Napoleon and several love of coffins and other relics of Napoleon. The first day of last stop is the symbol of France--the Eiffel Tower. Reach the Tower has a twilight, bought a ticket to climb a layer, tired I grind my teeth and made up his mind back to physical exercise. Then go on to take the lift, the higher the more sat finally reached the top, around the tower for a week, a cow and on the ground that the size of buildings in soya beans for just a few of the visited, as well as future plans to go to a few. Finally an exception from a tower on the post a postcard, in souvenir shops to buy a few things. Evening friends took me to find a good advance a Hunan restaurant eat home cooking. Taste fairly authentic, price is not expensive, it is not surprising that no reservations don't want to get a seat. Finally follow the proprietress by Changsha words with a few words, I was in Singapore or do not feel the hometown flavor, I caught up in Paris. The next day got up early and headed straight for the Highland of Montmartre. This used to be the Centre of Paris, the revolution is now free artist's paradise. The peak of the Sacred Heart Church, potters, magnificent, maps, the headland of divine beauty. That morning have a classic car enthusiast's open their car to the Sacred Heart church door won't think, by the way also opened the horizons. The Louvre is the recent Paris tourist hot spots hot spot, in large part to worship the da Vinci Code ". Friends warned me in advance, the Louvre really go up two or three days after shopping not too, but I am only a short span of three hours, but is headed straight for the key. Largest fragrance ("Mona Lisa", "Miroslav of Venus, the goddess of victory) look down and stops along the look of some, two and a half hours had passed, and only reluctantly gave up on the third floor of oil painting exhibition, there are a few things it would be interesting to see such as the Virgin of the rocks", also had to wait until the next time. Louvre glass pyramid of the square is also, of course, will be taken, although the da Vinci Code "there some say it is" Paris a scar on his face. " Indeed, it seems to me that look to go or do not understand that the design of its moral Ieoh Ming Pei, but it'd be "Louvre entrance" of an image. But we also found a trick: If you are from the ground of the great pyramid entrance to the Louvre, the queue through the security check must take half an hour or so, because almost all of the tours are from the entry into, but if you take the subway to the Louvre, from the ground floor, as long as the line a few minutes of team buy tickets on the line, security almost no one in line. From the Louvre, the subway rush last stop--Notre Dame. Out of the subway station, the way to the Holy Chapel next to the go turned, typical of Gothic architecture, nothing special, get tickets almost caught up with the Louvre, and decided to skip, go straight to the topic. Notre Dame at the main entrance of the Church are rare in Europe is the gate of the entrance, with tall twin towers in Hugo's writings into a clock tower Geek of the stage. The main entrance to the large number of relief, including some fine. Just after Christmas, as the door there is a big Christmas tree Festival. Church inside the Gothic style but the standards, the main hall to the altar, is deep, on either side of the ear of the Church in every color glass are colorful, I so far have been to all of the church there is also a head. A a look at the past, not consciously hold your breath, I do not know is an art or a religion. Finally go to the latter part of Notre Dame, is Gothic, but France's Gothic, Spire and the flying buttress is to join a large number of decorative elements,And pure German style very different. Time flies, a two-day trip to Paris hastily drawn periods, sitting in the plane leaving Paris, I had only one thought: I'll be back!
