It's already evening in Paris, so choose the Shangri-La Hotel, which claims to have the best view of the city. The Seine is rippling, the Eiffel Tower stands proudly, and you, lying in bed, can see it all.

Originally the official residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte, it took four years to work on various restoration details, even the original wooden floors were numbered and removed, renovated and installed back in their original condition.

Meimei sleeps and the next day sees Louise, a young and beautiful French girl. The weather is good, go out and stroll the streets and experience for yourself what it means to be a romantic city?

It is said that it is very wave here, but what exactly is a wave Johnson does not understand. Is it the smile of a street fashion girl during the day, or the hustle and bustle of the students in the bar late at night?

Is it the dazzling beauty of all skin colors at international fashion shows, or the smell of coffee wafting under the red pergola on the corner of the street?

Coming to the central square, Louise led the crowd to start from the small Arc de Triomphe and walk three kilometers to the Grand Arc de Triomphe, known as the central axis of the king, which is the most famous tour route on the right bank of the Seine.

Jardin du Toury, Rue de la Rivoli, Place de la Concorde and Avenue des Champs-Élysées...... These famous sites connect France's three hundred years of history, from the Valois dynasty, to the Bourbons, to the French Revolution, and the short-lived Napoleonic Empire.

The Jardin du Reari, an exquisite Italian Renaissance garden. In the middle is a large pool with a beautiful fountain. It is surrounded by a large square lawn, green and verdant, lined with towering trees and many famous sculptures.

Different from the artistic conception of Chinese gardens, the layout of the whole garden is rigorous, symmetrical, and full of geometric beauty. The Oriental Gardening emphasizes the imitation of nature, emphasizing that the city is not out of the city, but the interest of the mountains and wilderness, and the artificial carving should not show traces.

Although Western garden art also has the theory of homeopathy, it insists on forcing nature to accept the law of symmetry, arranging pavilions, sculptures, pools and other landscapes strictly according to the axis, and advocating the symmetrical beauty of geometric figures.

Speaking of Catherine, she is not an ordinary queen mother, known as the Empress of France, the most powerful queen mother in history, and has been the actual controller of the country for 30 years.

Not only did they have a good fortune and were reincarnated into the illustrious Medici family, but they also had better luck. At the age of fourteen, she married the French royal family, and the king was her father-in-law at that time. After the death of the old king, Henry II came to power.

Of course, the new king also has a little lover, and Queen Catherine's life is not easy. Fortunately, twelve years later, the hapless Henry II was assassinated, and the young king was young, and Catherine took the opportunity to take control of the power, and she was in power for thirty years, at the age of seventy.

Finally understood the strength of the hermit family, the Italian Medici family not only ruled Florence for three hundred years, but also produced three Roman popes and two French queens.

Moreover, there may not be continuity in the title of foreign king, do not think that Henry IV is the grandson of Henry II. Although they were both kings of France, they were not related by blood. In fact, Henry IV was also the son-in-law of Henry II, is it a surprise?

Today it is a park and is open to the public free of charge. There are many chairs for resting by the pool, under the trees, and scattered around. On a sunny day, there are many casual people sitting.

Some read quietly, some chatted softly, and some stared at the sculpture or the Louvre behind them, all quiet, although they were not far from each other, they did not interfere with each other at all.

I recall that in the large and small parks in China, singing and dancing, crowds of people, and firecrackers rang out......

Exit the north gate of the Jardin des Tuileries and continue towards the Champs-Élysées. Rue de Rivoli is famous for the hundreds of identical round arches on both sides, which stretch for miles on either side.

A typical example of European aesthetics, the shock of beauty created by the repetition of geometric patterns is on full display here. Napoleon built the corridor to alleviate the traffic congestion north of the Louvre, so that vehicles and pedestrians would not interfere with each other, and pedestrians would not be affected by the weather.

The locals like to sit down in a café under the colonnade, drink coffee and chat, or don't say a word, look up at the white clouds on the horizon, look down at the floor made of fine stones, and imagine how many princes, nobles, and rogue heroes have walked on it......

The tall obelisk in the center of the Place de la Concorde is a monument in front of the Egyptian temple, with a history of more than 3,000 years, a gift from the Egyptian governor. A single piece of granite carved out of 230 tons, transported here from Egypt two hundred years ago, was also drunk.

There is a huge fountain in the north and south, the shape is vivid, the momentum is magnificent, it looks like the west point shelf on the dining table from afar, there are many exquisite sculptures up and down, especially the mermaid of six bronze castings around a circle, each holding a big fish, spewing out of the water column from the mouth of the fish, and the fountain complement each other, it is very spectacular.

Louise introduced that it was just built, and it was called Louis XV Square, with a bronze statue of the king on horseback in the center, which was a place to show off royal power.

Then the Great Revolution began, and the bronze statue was replaced with a guillotine, so it was renamed Revolution Square, which was really a revolution, and the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves. The conservatives were beheaded by the revolutionaries, and the revolutionaries were beheaded by the more revolutionaries......

Not only did Louis XVI and the queen, who designed the guillotine, and more than a thousand members of the royal family be beheaded here, but the revolutionary leaders who pushed Louis XVI to the guillotine, Danton, Robespierre, and one after another, were also sent by the latecomers.

For a while, the square was full of blood, the sky was full of ghosts, and Johnson felt the wind gusting, so hurry up and run!

Come to the Champs-Élysées, the most famous shopping paradise and the holy place in the hearts of countless ruined girls. If you compare SC Johnson to Johnson, Chang'an Avenue in Beijing is spacious, but there is no commercial atmosphere on both sides, and there are no casual restaurants and drink shops, let alone cafes or teahouses with tents on the streets.

Nanjing Road has a commercial atmosphere, but the road is narrow, compared to the high-rise buildings on both sides, it is like a big alley, and it has not kept pace with the times, it is getting farther and farther away from fashion, leaving only some so-called old memories.

Originally, I thought it was a pure commercial area, but it turned out to be just a very spacious boulevard. Nearly two kilometers long street, with the middle square as the node, to the east section of the Concorde Square is an elegant pastoral scenery, lush. The western section of the Arc de Triomphe is a high-end commercial area, with many LV and other brand stores, full of commercial prosperity.

At that time, there was an idyllic scenery on both sides, where the royal family and nobles could take a leisurely stroll. "The Count of Monte Cristo" often depicts young aristocrats, dressed in fashionable clothes and holding the hands of beautiful ladies in the afternoon sun, strolling along the Champs-Élysées......

Later, the local tycoons rebuilt and expanded their mansions in the western section, and opened a series of fashion stores, high-end cosmetics stores, banks, and high-end car dealers and restaurants along the street.

Nowadays, there are very few first-line brands in the Champs-Elysées, in addition to the LV flagship store, more international brands gather on the Avenue Montaigne behind it, Prada, el, ina Ricci, Hermes and countless other first-line brands.

When you are tired of walking, sit at the open-air table, order a mussel, and admire the French buildings on both sides of the street in the sun, and also admire the passionate and unrestrained French girls.

From time to time, I saw the domestic tyrant aunts who roared away and entered the LV flagship store, and the shopping guides were already surprised, and their elegant smiles were full of expectations......
