Chapter 384: To Paris Again

After a pleasant trip to the lake, Ye Chao was familiar with the road and dismissed all the celebrities......

There are direct trains, buses and planes from Zurich to Paris, and Ye Chao has many options for transportation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, he opted for the train......

The train is smooth, much safer than the bus, and you can see the scenery along the way.

Ye Chao's trip to Paris was for business......

His whereabouts are so ostentatious, not to mention the forces that Tang Ru can mobilize, let's just say that the channels in Chen Wanqiu's hands can easily control Ye Chao's whereabouts and what he does.

It's just that no one dares to touch him.

Ye Chao received a message from Chen Wanqiu that there was business in Paris, and asked him if he could do it.

Ye Chao asked people to reply, do. And added a very conscientious reply, the situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad, don't look for me, plan early.

This reply is really very conscientious.

Ye Chao couldn't help himself, and his body was not himself, Chen Wanqiu knew this, and he had been on guard. But receiving this reply occasionally made her speechless.

They are already looking for someone, but unfortunately, they can't find a master who can subdue Ye Chao, and now, what they can do is to stay away from Ye Chao, or rely on him to clean up his demon heart......

Paris.

Ye Chao went to Paris again, put on makeup, and approached the seriously ill Frenchman.

He was a rich man, Zurich was a rich place, and there were many in Paris.

This man was a Frenchman who had been medically sentenced to death by a doctor, so he wanted to die in Paris, his hometown.

However, he still has one hope, that is, the legendary life-saving miracle doctor in the rich circle - the mysterious miracle doctor of Huaguo.

The money, that is, the deposit, he has already paid, but it is still unknown whether the divine doctor can get it.

This person is a pharmaceutical giant, but now, his medicine can't cure him, if he can't wait for the "miracle doctor", his life will not be long, and no matter how much money he has, it will no longer be his......

There are some terminal illnesses that there is no way to do in medicine.

However, Ye Chao has a way.

In just an hour, Ye Chao, who was dressed up, was sent out with a thousand thanks, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving those French bodyguards stunned.

This, in turn, adds a layer of mysterious fog to the veil of the divine doctor.

On this trip, the French tycoon paid nearly 3 billion soft girl coins.

The task was completed, and Ye Chao, who went to pretend, stayed on the streets of the fashion capital, he had a home, but he didn't want to go back.

It's not that he can't go back, but he doesn't want to go back, because after he does, he will become a time bomb there.

Therefore, traveling around the world is Ye Chao's best choice, even if he wants to be evil, hurt, and become a demon, he must do evil outside, hurt outside, and be a demon outside, instead of hurting the people close to him at home and at home.

Paris, still very beautiful.

Even if I've been here once, twice, or three times, I still don't think I can see enough.

It's no wonder that so many young people have loved this fashion capital for hundreds of years.

Ye Chao walked alone to the Place de la Bastille......

The night view of this large square is beautiful.

The original Bastille prison in Place de la Bastille has been demolished, and in the center of the square is a bronze pillar to commemorate the French Revolution of 1830 that once again overthrew the feudal monarchy.

Located on the right bank of the Seine River in Paris, east of the city of Paris, it is the site of the former Bastille. The extent of the former Bastille is marked by a winding masonry line stretching north from the boulevard Henry IV, and on the corner of rue Saint-Antoine and rue Jacques-Gur is inscribed in marble: "This was the gate of the forecourt of the Bastille."

The Place de la Bastille is one of the testimonies of French history: the proclamation of the Republic by the people of Paris in February 1848, the proletarians fought against their enemies during the June Uprising and the Paris Commune, and the election of Francois Mitterrand on May 10, 1981, when 300,000 people flocked to the Place de la Bastille to celebrate the election of France.

The encounter of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, is indeed an intriguing symbol.

The reason for the attack that day was that the artillery on the high walls of the Bastille posed a threat that had to be addressed after the armed clashes between the population and the Government forces. However, all the people, whether they were the people who stormed the fortress that day, the French who celebrated the great festivals of the country every year, and the countless people who had nothing to do with France, even if they knew about it, would not be willing to interpret such an event as a tactical battle.

In everyone's eyes, a stone building and a huge castle are symbols of the old system.

The time of Louis XVI, the entire aristocracy and the court itself, was not the worst time in history, and it could even be said that it was the better time for a bad system.

This is determined by the overall progress of society. Europe is struggling to emerge from barbarism. For example, the dungeons, which were very common in the Middle Ages, were gradually discontinued more than a hundred years before the French Revolution.

There are many cruel corrections, not revolutions, not decrees, but the "man" himself, due to the awakening of human nature, begins to abhor cruelty. When writing history, people are always accustomed to focusing their attention on the change of dynasties, wars and revolutions, and the era when theories were born, believing that these are the footprints of mankind and the marks of progress.

However, for the countless ordinary people who have never had a name in history, the progress they have deeply experienced is actually a detail of humanity and human development.

For example, from the year when the dungeon was no longer used, from the year when the prisoner could no longer starve to death, from the year when torture was abolished, from the year when people could get a fair trial, that they would be free from fear, and so on. Prisons often become a testing point for institutions.

Today, the Bastille is gone. Now it is only possible to see its models, photographs and relics at the Museum of History of the City of Paris.

It was once a very spectacular medieval castle, built in 1370. It had a 30-foot-thick, 100-foot-high fence surrounded by an 80-foot-wide moat. It used to be an instrument of oppression by the old system.

Especially during the autocratic period of Louis XIV, there was no minimum rule of law at all, and people did not have basic rights guaranteed. Neither imprisonment nor prolonged imprisonment requires any justification.

Revolutionary France really couldn't tolerate the Bastille. After July 14, 1789, the Bastille was demolished.

Some of its masonry was sent to the local provinces as historical souvenirs, and some of it was used to build the stone bridge connecting the Place de la Concorde with the south bank of the Seine. Later, in 1847 the Boulevard de Lyon was opened here, in 1859 the Gare de Lyon was established, and in 1866 the Boulevard Henri V was opened.

Then there is Bourdon Avenue and St. Anthony Road. The Grand Theatre of the Bastille and much more. The castle of yesteryear, with its moats, drawbridges, cells and barracks, as well as the feudal dynasty of France, are all gone.

Anyone who has read Alexandre Dumas's The Man in the Iron Mask and Victor Hugo's Les Misérables knows that Paris's Place de la Bastille is a reflection of a bloody history that stood more than 200 years ago as the prison of the French emperor.

At that time, it was by no means a kind place to treat guests. However, in 1789, the Parisians captured the Bastille, and with the collapse of the monarchy, the Place de la Bastille became a stage for Parisians to be free and unleashed.

The visitors to the Place de la Bastille are mostly young people, who rarely come by car, most of the time on roller skates, and some on high-powered motorcycles. Both men and women wear the latest fashionable clothes, but they are not well-known designer clothes.

They think that the kind of clothes that are available all over the world are for the masses, and they only like the more niche designers with great individuality. These people made the Place de la Bastille the most avant-garde and popular rooftop in Paris.

If you're an outsider and don't have a cool outfit and temperament, stay away as soon as possible. A well-dressed person stays here for less than 3 minutes, and even if others don't give you strange looks, you will quickly feel that you are a discordant alternative.

The rebellious temperament of the Place de la Bastille is not only felt in the crowd, but also the Opéra Bastille, the main building of the square, also plays the role of a subversive.

Considered one of the largest opera houses in Europe, the building, with its spectacular glass curtain and black-grey marble colonnade, has a strong postmodern character inside and out.

The contrast and conflict between such a trendy modern building towering over the center of the Place de la Bastille and becoming the avant-garde landmark of the Bastille today is a cool backdrop to the square.

The Opéra divides the area around Place de la Bastille in half. On one side is a garden promenade that has been renovated from an old railway bridge, with kilometers of sidewalks on the upper floors and distinctive craft shops, design studios or galleries in each arch below.

On the other side, there is the famous suburban street of St. Anthony. The "suburbs" is the ancient name of the city, but in fact the street has long been part of the city of Paris. Although they have retained their pre-19th-century appearance, the old furniture shops, leather shops and picture frame shops that were once famous throughout Paris are now slowly being replaced by fashion stores and bars.

Young artists and designers have turned to it as a base of experimentation and a haven for creativity, fiddling up a myriad of quirky shops.

The many coffee shops around the Place de la Bastille line the streets, and most of the people who come here to enjoy life like to sit in the open air and drink coffee or wine. If you pay attention to it, you will also find that those waitresses who are busy shuttling around the coffee shop not only have graceful figures, but also dress up without sloppiness.

Place de la Bastille is a world of handsome men and beautiful women, and the shops are all in the fashion business, and it is difficult to do it if the waiters don't look and dress well.

What catches your eye is a square where ten avenues meet. In the center of the square, there is a bronze column 52 meters high, and at the top is a god of liberty with wings spread. Oh, is this you, the French Revolution? No, not at all, not at all, not at all! Although the bronze pillar is called the "July Column", standing on the avenue outside the square, you can see the words "July 27, 28, 29, 1830" cast on the top of the bronze column.

Walking into the square, you can see the dense names cast from top to bottom of the bronze columns. Originally, it was built to commemorate the martyrs of the July Revolution of 1830. The bodies of these martyrs were buried under the "July Pillar". Today's Place de la Bastille is the burial ground of the martyrs of the July Revolution of 1830.

And what about the heroes and martyrs who died in the Revolution of 1789? The square was speechless, the bronze pillars were speechless, and the God of Liberty was speechless. But seeing the sky is high and the clouds are light, the traffic is busy, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the red tide is rolling. There is not a single historical response in the vast world today.

Take a closer look at the guidebook. It turns out that the only place on Place de la Bastille that has anything to do with the Revolution of 1789 is the Gran Bastille with its reinforced glass windows. It chose July 14, 1989, the opening date of the bicentenary of the French Revolution.

But this connection is a little shy and secretive compared to the towering bronze pillar.

The streets around Place de la Bastille are lined with cafés. What a romantic view of the Parisian cityscape! Looking at the citizens and tourists who are leisurely and sipping slowly, I can't help but want to find an empty seat to sit down and talk to them about the French Revolution and the Bastille.

But how much would they know, and how much interest would they have in talking about this heavy subject?

Turning his gaze to the "July Pillar" again, he slid from the god of freedom at the top to the iron lion on the pedestal, and felt that the big mouth of the iron lion seemed to be saying one by one: "Forget it! Forget it!" But suddenly I remembered Lenin's famous saying: "Forgetting the past means betrayal!"

The Marche Bastille, next to the Place de la Bastille, is probably the most exciting market in Paris, and its allure lies in the fact that it brings together the best ingredients from all over France.

When you come to the Bastille Market, you will feel like you have entered a living museum of French cuisine, where you can see all the delicacies you see in the recipes and menus in the books, and all the delicacies you eat in the restaurants!

The Bastille Market is not available every day, but only on Thursdays and Sundays from early morning to noon on Avenue Richard Lenoir, directly opposite the Place de la Bastille.

September is the best time to visit the Bastille market, which is the richest autumn of the year, when seafood and autumn come from all directions, and the scene is the most grand, of course, the seafood stalls in the center of the market, the fish, shrimp and oysters that have just arrived from Brittany shine like a mountain top.

There are also countless fresh spices and vegetables, melons and fruits, and stalls selling peppers, red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, long and short, green, very lively.

The spicy smell next door came to the top, and people almost couldn't open their eyes. There are also sausages and hams, cheeses, poultry and meat, the famous Bress chicken, a whole rabbit with head and tail and skinned, pigeons, quails, pheasants...... All kinds of game are the most seasonal game in autumn.

There are also stalls that specialize in honey beeswax from all over the world, curry powders with different recipes, pickled olives, dried fruits, and potatoes...... Bread is also thoughtfully offered at the olive stalls, and guests can try it from Provence in France to Andalusia in Spain to Tuscany in Italy, from countries to regions to villages.

The Bastille is a wonderful world of great magnificence, where you can be filled with infinite curiosity and pursuit, as well as infinite desires and ambitions for food and cuisine.
