From the Seine to Firenze roller printed, the endpoint is the Holy Island of twilight-France

Day 1

Cuckoo clock sound me from sleeping pulling up.

I rubbed the eye, and 5 in the morning. Last night seemed night 1 point on a bed, and now feel like glue on the eyes and want to open it. The aircraft was over 10 points, I and my wife's experience repeated Golden Week travel guide our 6 points out of the House. 7 a.m. just have arrived at the airport ready to check in. But mind yet sober, coupled with the Beijing airport also as usual, I took the ticket to go straight to the business class counters, later discovered that Air France and Lufthansa is not too early to check in time, but sad in the counter on the front row of the first team. Fortunately, we were the first check in, smoothly get the location of the emergency channel. Inspection after sitting on the side of Starbucks, eat cake and coffee, while coping with the acquaintance, advertising agencies, PR companies and my colleagues in Germany, makes the international departure hall of Starbucks fast became a meeting room.

Air France is good, so long as Sufi Maso stewardess, delicious cakes and salads, there is also a small bucket of instant noodles master.

9-hour flight with two meal, a Pirates of the Caribbean, a Conan kill. Vacation feeling arises spontaneously — do not have to do on the plane! smooth landing PPT Charles de Gaulle airport we college classmates already waiting in the arrival of the door.

From the airport to the Centre of Paris by Metro, subway down easy, by Chartelle (one way) is a transit point like xizhimen.

I carried large luggage and Paris people crowded in the subway, the smell of the perfume smell, hear, nasty French, grin and slack, catching up to the students home. Open the window, in the distance of the Eiffel Tower, the heart feels or value. 10 years ago came in Paris, in fact, unlike the present case, then the students in the eyes of Paris, carefree, I wander in various spots, use a pair of strange eyes in the face of the city. Clear the Seine, romantic Champs Elysees, and still is a Mecca for the Louvre. Now see Paris at several levels, the view from the window at the top of the Eiffel, it is linked to these attractions Paris into heaven: Pompidou, the Louvre, Concorde's obelisk, Sacred Heart Church, Orsay ... These are our special place to visit; we are located 3 district residential building block for boilerplate, residential buildings typically have been around for decades, they are the second level of Paris, the Paris humane. They naturally are lumps of cake shape, neat and tidy, radial diffusion to the periphery of Paris. Most of Paris people lived in the building, drink coffee, to the window sill of the flowers before hastily watering; just sit in the Metro and the colorful shops on the ground should be the Paris of the underlying, here's a tramp, drunkard, bum black and a large number of Chinese people.

The weather is very good, the sky was travelling to Paris by plane painting many split line.

Sunset for those with a wave of jinding Church sparks. The students gave us a meal with tomato scrambled eggs after the supper, to eat, we decided to walk. Across the street, across the small river, walk past shops, discover Paris night was nothing to go by. Surrounding can close are closed, Paris people every day to work 7 hours only, and the bosses are not willing to pay for overtime, so close as early as possible, as late as the door.

Home to over time, have been pushing to 11, and finally sleep over.

Day 2

Wake up is more than 8 points, find classmates are standing at the window and watch towers smoking.

Breakfast is ready, my wife and I quickly attired, start. First stop is the Olympic contest, 10 years ago with two local travel is regrettable, a Office is year-round, another is a day to go to Pompidou. Today to just fill the Olympic class. Orsay and Louvre on the left and right bank of the Seine, is today a day trip. Out from the subway, Paris Golden sunshine also appear in the eyes of the Concorde on several France buddies playing football, I thought you guys who dare to play football at the Metro station, a Tiananmen paramilitary policeman brought you back to questioning hair qinghe digging sand. Random shot some photos are very nice, and the Sun is not shining color, but leaves the Indus, the Obelisk of jinding, according to the square of the stone pavement reflection of light mixed together is very beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds and pretend sports elites running France girl guy, the feeling is quite Paris.

Olympic particularly want to go because of impressionism.

School is education, Monet, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Cezanne Koro paintings in this place. Students studying art history, walking while speaking, is there.

We directly on the fourth floor, next to the Hall roof, from Gauguin.

See van Gogh is excited when my wife, I'm also excited to see Monet. True art is not the same as with the textbooks. Miller of Gleaners and dusk is my school's favorite, in fact, some now looks boring. Koro of small landscape is quite vivid. We pick the key only in four layers and Olympic layer carefully appreciation, other decorative works basically didn't see. It is the day there are several private exhibition and temporary exhibitions, including France Palace gold exhibition and some early Impressionist collection. 12 noon half out, bought album as a souvenir.

We cross the Seine River back to the Central Park, the students prepare lunch sandwiches and desserts.

In the Park and the Dove, the Crow, Rodin's sculpture together over lunch, we hurry to the Louvre. Just my second trip to Lu floats, his wife is the first time. Her profound evaluation I remember: "like a dream. "When you come here in 1997, the hand is a short history of Western art, read some books and then look at the exhibits, the feeling is that time again and again to be convinced. We from Central Park to the South into the routine in Louvain float glass pyramid front camera. Go in, found here, and 10 years ago exactly, no stale. Only one thing, when I bought the album cover is Turkey ů now Museum in the city's main Visual: the corner of the Mona Lisa, mouth, bePull the skin of your wrist, thanks to the film, all the secular.

The treasure of the town shops are easy to find, run, took like the shadow.

But my favorite is the other place to go.

Mona Lisa outside Italy promenade, where you can see the before and after the evolution of the Renaissance, from scratch, look to the da Vinci three works will understand why they are highly respected throughout the world, but now want to think about the Vatican before really understand. There is a substantial Studio, free France led the people, dusha MK, France new classicism charm is but you see so much art, was shocked, and we often do sharp inkjet but totally different concepts of ... There is a Museum of ancient Babylon, where's Han moraby Codex, there are many in Greece, Egypt and even wandering between Chinese culture and style of sculpture and paintings. A lap down nearly five hours, the evening at 6 I and my wife pulled on irrigation lead legs staggered out Lu floats.

But we have the will, we are strong, we decided to continue through the Park, the Concorde, the Champs Elysees has walked to the Arc de Triomphe – a full two hours, five or six times between rest and bought dipped in sugar and chocolate sauce and fried dough sticks added strength.

When dark has finally come, not more, than ten Argentina people singing and dancing, several people quietly Japan. Rain, we quickly after taking photographs, thus putting an end to the day of travel.

Day 3

The first three days of rain in the morning before going out for a large, Paris is another expression, because it is the weekend, so people are lazy.

When you take the subway to the suburban railway tickets and mobile phone together with a magnetic, wasted a ticket, but also smooth the Eiffel. Out of the subway invisible Tower, but turned the corner, the big guy it jumped from the bushes.

Previous to the impression from far and near, skyscrapers.

Far from the city there is a car through a pile of fountains, only to the above marked with a distance of 2000, there were 800 days of Tower. This feeling is not the same, it is bounded by the black hanging a Rugby World Cup 07 big balloon. Last years on nothing, the wish of the Tower, in line to buy tickets, Queuing queued in the elevator, the best local photographic scenery. Paris in its entirety. I and my wife with debating went yesterday and is about to travel to those places where, and try to use the camera's lens closer to them. The Eiffel Tower on the God of the foreground color of the square is the best, just don't rain, sunlight if Golden better, if the evening perfect. Lawn powder spread with leaves, the afternoon half past four in the Sun on your face. Ten years ago regardless of homework, work, income, future these worldly problems, here is the complete enjoyment of the immediate scene. Ten years later, but now it's raining, it's a no sun in the morning, however, spend their money. Fortunately, my wife is very happy that our Sun is reduced because of the weather. Often encountered in the Tower, I help people as a group photo, because Asian man make others think I know English, I will be happy to help, so that I can also be logical that they help us to take a picture.

Lunch in Mars square, next to the Pavilion was eaten, often through a number of Roma, they'll ask, "Do you speak English?"

At the same time, let's look at a piece of paper that reads please help me, I haven't eaten, and so on. Students previously warned us as long as no English answer, they'll leave. These people by local gangs control, all places of interest in Paris attractions. Their underlying in Paris, in the community, to begging. In addition to feel disturbed, they will also not be tiresome. We do not give them money, that's not worth it.

Next stop is the Church of the sacred heart, and wanted to take a look at the white Church of charm and the Moulin Rouge led domestic demand in the red light district.

White Church on the Hill, the subway to walk. In the meantime will pass some porn shops that meet one or two elderly industry people smoking a cigarette in the street noise. The peak there is a metro station, next to a small, fairly quiet, but also selling some interesting items of small shops, a work of art, bookstores and wine estates, but the guy behind the general attitude is not good, and asked him how far the white Church, smooth point to that way "behind", and then sang eyebrow lift eye continue to look at the shop, a bit like my home Tigers. White Chapel Hill's entrance is guarded by a group of black people, each of them the finger with a string tied a summary and fancy wrappings called "symbol of good luck", I think it is a "symbol of luck" is on the back, because then bad luck again and again until the wallet. Spend some money to send out, counting the steps to the front of the white Church. The Church is still very beautiful, is cloudy, let the building face out old yellow. This time you can go in and take a good look at the religious atmosphere, which is not strong, but I like those devout people sitting in a week when the hands in front of him, the Lord told heart silently. These people are lovely, and because of their beliefs, but also enjoy the quietly sitting here. White Church bench under the fountain is very dirty, and ten years ago, as compared to the past. Fountain stone on the city's scale and black Moss, ugly too. The ground is very much cigarette, watch it is a pedestrian street, and the very messy and even $ 10 shops in many Southeast Asian people, black people and much like the Gypsy people plane to plane.

I and my wife decided to fight the Pompidou and try them.

Subway from the ground up to the ground and from the ground up to 40 minutes on the ground floor, the Pompidou station. We are direct from backdoors into the library. We found that the situation does not, in the red and blue-green-yellow tubes consisting of building hit, ranged to cuan West ticket Hall. First to the second floor of the Café break will come, a cup of espresso, a glass of orange juice consumption was 1 hour. My wife said here although paper cups of espresso, but very authentic. I do not see a lick on the tongue is gone. We then buy a ticket on the fifth floor slowly enjoy. It is in the book to see much, itsSome of the works of artists, such as the party forces are, his paintings have a look, shot photos of the evening was classmates laughed at back, said every Chinese person to the Pompidou will take this picture. I think the most interesting fact here is that Philip Stark's many design, these works are now in the country have been pirated, tables and chairs stools, kitchen tools, here is a separate chamber show these design TTg, but at home, already is the common people's daily necessities. Now I have to modern art, not a cold does not feel that these modern artists surpass them by previous generations. These exhibits at Pompidou was pirated in a batch after batch, nothing more fresh perspective. Or go home early to have dinner.

Students of the Chinese supermarket downstairs in the door, here also the Coke Zero is cheaper than those sold in the street.

Dinner is spaghetti with only olive oil, salt and pepper sauce mix is very sweet, not to mention there are students carefully cooked in tomato sauce. I took a deep breath of eating two spare, down on the sofa bed in the past.

Day 4

Enter the Versailles.

Already a working day, how can so many people? visitors to Versailles and we are the same, most map a set of tickets cheap train slowly shaking with self-help. Basic seat on the train is full, the scenery on the way to the station in General that we haven't realized. Travel this Palace does not need to know in advance where you only need to follow the crowd flows. We caught in the various tours, free heard numerous languages and numerous species of Accent English explanations. "13, Louis", is a classic Ah. This helped France Royal can really make a mess in the Palace Chapel and small Opera House, a small Studio, small mirror Gallery, small bedroom, but carried out a very large back garden, also attached to the Canal. If I were King for sure every day and Princess are playing, the scoop here. On the left side of the garden is the Orangery and a neat little garden. Lawn and tree reductions and a tight, I guess is Louis Emperor and Empress Feizi they hide and seek. Turn a few statue, a fountain and a pond. Would also like to complain about the weather, there is a big Sun was perfect. From the left side of the garden through the past is next to the Canal, the Canal is a cross shape, like a large swimming pool. We guess this feeling should be and in the Winter Palace, the charges may be boating more or less expensive than ten times. So we gave up boating, hired two bikes all the way to ride to the next to her uterus. The Palace is pink, with women, is not very fond of. But a bike through the woods of feeling very good, the air is cold, taste of the leaves, is like a mirror next to the Grand Canal, just as a person. Look at the tree top, all the way to run. In Versailles took many photos full of herself, because there are trees, water, leaves, place. As long as you drill into the Woods to find nobody perspective is a good composition. Take it away, we are reluctant to leave four o'clock in the afternoon.

Five or so, we went back to the city, to look at the last Paris travel attractions: Notre Dame de Paris.

Out from the Metro is the other side of the Notre Dame Saint Michel fountain, hurry to take pictures, you cross the River into the Church in the novel. Here is the most beautiful stained glass Windows, Notre Dame's overall landscape model is also very attractive, handmade wood. Both sides of the altar there are two rows of wood carvings, telling the story of Jesus to be born again. Here the priest saw that we also will take the initiative to provide us with the righteousness of Protestant, and publicize the wood carving of the story. You can see the tours of Chinese people before they strike at the No. Notre Dame de Paris is full of memories, ten years ago here bought a wooden crucifix, a moment wears, especially just work life is empty. 2001 new year ago and his wife to Qingdao sea, this cross is left to the hotel. From this life is no longer empty, no longer decadence ... To me that Notre Dame most beautiful place in the side and rear view is to the left side of the building's most exquisite design, as the side wall bracing of the drainage system and the outside of the glass flowers; the right is the Seine, if at a later date, the river of tree hanging lamp should be lit up, to each year's national day on either side of the tree. Notre Dame is the establishment of the middle ages, when the previous square or piece of small markets, farmers and traders of local, thanks to the religious in this thing, this place from early spring to guage sublimation. From the river around to the rear, there are many parks, environment is very good. There are classic fountain, stand above might be a statue of Victor Hugo, France parasol of benches and a ground leaves. At half past five in the afternoon, this is approaching an old couple, sitting in the corner couch just put this composition with the vicissitudes of the element. Sit for half an hour until the quiet atmosphere here is boring, they get up to nearby students working antique shops. This shop is on the island, Louis Philip bridgehead, red menlian different, but the customer was pitiful. The door to see City Hall. The lights are turned on, Paris into the evening peak period. Municipal Government in front of the shop shopping centre are close, like a timer, all methodically slow rhythm, we and the city as the rest.

Back to the students at home together a pasta meal, eat a lot, and chat for a long time, most of them or on the future development, foreign or domestic, to earn money or academic, when to have children.

The environment is different for everyone brings different concepts, but the same root cognate, many ideas still consistent. France is good but not the House, China is home, but are not well developed. We live in contradiction of the slit, but alive has been very tired, want them far from it.

Day 5

In the last half a day in Paris, decided to go shopping, or go back to Pompidou, along the pedestrian street and found to be strongly recommended underground shopping mall, Paris people developing underground life is a traditional, from being a sewer system apotheosis, the convenient metro, there are now the big mall, all underground.

In fact, in Paris if you don't buy the big brand names have nothing, becauseParis if you have native products is the high card. Many herbal skin care of very well, but the language barrier does not know what place could not erase the buy, but also some not very expensive design also nice clothes and bags, made in china can be seen always felt very value. Strolled, empty-handed. Noon last lunch is simple, after a decision or take the subway to the airport. Paris travel thus concluded that the heart of nostalgia has exceeded expectations for Italy. Ten years ago had dreams go through it again feels very good, Paris is like an old lover, after 10 years still maintain a pretty face and graceful build, I had a good four days.
