Looking down through the glass window of the plane, you can see the city unfolding in front of you like a chessboard of stars. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A meandering river divides the city into two parts, in a small circle in the center, neatly planned, like a key, centered on a circle to the northeast, radiating radiantly, and the straight streets are clear at a glance, like the upper/middle and middle/lower districts of Manhattan, making it almost impossible to get lost.

However, this is just a small circle, a palm-sized place, beyond that, all the planning suddenly becomes a mess, the road is like a winding streamline, stretching crookedly, the artistic dragon flying phoenix dance looks clueless, and the tofu blocks of different sizes are full of indescribable casualness and wantonness.

This is Paris, the most prosperous center of the entire European continent, and one of the most rich cities in art, culture and history, with countless places of interest such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre, which give the city a strong cultural atmosphere, and the casual, free and uninhibited French people have an enviable romance in their daily lives, all of which make Paris a world-famous romantic capital.

The biggest difference between Europeans and North Americans can be seen from New York - the Lower/Downtown is the base of the Europeans after they landed in the United States, the streets are scattered randomly, there are no specifications, and the streets and alleys seem to have entered a labyrinth; while the Upper/Downtown and Central/Downtown are completely planned according to the checkerboard squares, with clear vertical and horizontal divisions, and it is extremely easy and simple to find any location, full of modern wisdom.

The former represents the original artistic heritage and historical heritage, while the latter represents the ultimate in modern commercial development.

During the reign of Napoleon III, the Paris reconstruction plan presided over by Haussmann, the governor of the Seine, aimed to alleviate the contradiction between the rapid development of the city and its relatively backward functional structure, and made Paris one of the most beautiful and modern cities in the world at that time by expanding roads, easing urban traffic, building large parks, and improving municipal engineering. But the history of urban planning has been mixed.

At that time, the city plan started from the city center, tearing down all the buildings and replanning the streets, straight and spacious, which is the origin of the Champs-Élysées, and at the same time the surrounding streets extended radially, and all the streets could be seen at a glance, avoiding the dilemma of traffic congestion.

However, this move was met with strong opposition from local citizens, who even organized several large-scale demonstrations, who sneered at the Champs-Elysées, believing that this kind of commercial planning was too simplistic and crude, completely lost the historical and cultural heritage of France, and was more like an upstart.

After many negotiations, the urban planning was forced to stop, and the road planning was not completed. This is what makes Paris the unique scene it is today.

It is undeniable that the area centred on the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées is world-famous and a must-visit for countless tourists, but for the locals of Paris, it is disgusting and they will even deliberately avoid it if it is not necessary, insisting that it is not part of Paris.

"Is this Europe?" even the calm and reserved Brandon was a little impatient. I don't know if it was because he was too tired from the long flight and couldn't help but feel a little irritable, or because he was leaving the North American continent for the first time, the excitement of the novelty of the New World, or both.

Lu Li couldn't help but be a little excited, this is also his first time on the European continent, although the history of this land is not as long as that of China/China, but here has given birth to a brilliant and prosperous art and culture, this heritage is still a valuable asset, even if the two world wars destroyed countless treasures, but in terms of artistic heritage, Europe still has an amazing heritage.

What's more, European architecture is so different, and the typical memory of Chinese people for "Western culture" and "Western architecture" comes from Europe. Now, Lu Li finally has the opportunity to walk the streets of Europe for himself.

Involuntarily, Lu Li was also a little looking forward to it.

The plane landed smoothly on the runway, and the passengers couldn't help but move their limbs and stretch their sore muscles.

After waiting for a while, I finally stepped off the plane, and the boiling hot air in the air came to my face, making people clearly feel the midsummer on the European continent, the sight was full of people, and the customs gate was piled up with hundreds of people, and the winding procession was moving slowly, with almost no end in sight.

The long flight, across the entire North American continent, across the entire Atlantic, the legs were already swollen to words, the long-distance flight became a kind of torment, when they landed, they didn't even know how they flew over, just sighed, and finally felt the earth's qi.

"There are really too many tourists. Tony couldn't help but marvel.

As you can see, nearly a third of them are Asian faces, and many of them are tour groups, and the entire arrivals hall is already overcrowded. Such a scene is really jaw-dropping, especially for Brandon, who is accustomed to the vast and sparsely populated pastures, which is even more unbelievable, and it is rare to see that Brandon is a little restrained and anxious.

Lu Li is accustomed to it, no matter how dense the crowd is, compared with New York, Bei/Beijing, and Shanghai/Hai, this is just sprinkling water. What's more, Lu Li is a man who has experienced countless Spring Festival tests.

"Paris, the romantic capital that countless people dream of, isn't it?" Lu Li joked with a leisurely mood.

France is the world's number one tourist country, with hundreds of millions of tourists visiting the country every year, and Paris is one of the best. Especially in recent years, traveling abroad has become more and more approachable, and more and more people in China have joined the ranks of tourism. Among them, France is undoubtedly one of the preferred reference objects of everyone.

Therefore, seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Li was not surprised at all.

The three of them followed the team, staggered through customs, and then claimed their luggage, which took nearly fifty minutes, and then the group came to the basement level, found the car rental company, and after completing a series of procedures, under the guidance of the staff, found their car rented in advance.

In fact, public transportation in Europe is relatively developed, trains can reach almost every corner, even remote towns, and the bus and subway systems are very well-developed, which is really good for backpackers on the road alone.

However, they came this time to have a work mission, and whether it is a winery or a high-end horse farm, it is relatively remote, so it is naturally inconvenient to take public transportation. So, they still chose to rent a car.

"Are you sure it's okay, if we're tired, we can stay in Paris for one night and then we'll be there. Lu Li sat in the passenger seat, looked at Tony sitting in the driver's seat, and asked with concern.

This long-distance flight was really long and consumed a lot of physical strength. They are not resting now, and they are going to Burgundy without stopping, which is really a physical challenge.

"Don't worry, I won't be tired of driving. If I can't support it, I'll call you over and replace me. Tony was in good spirits, and after leaving the airport, the dull air was swept away, and the whole person was refreshed.

Tony drove slowly out of the airport, then out of Paris, heading south towards Dijon, a gastronomic town in the Burgundy region.

Although the core area of Burgundy is Beaune, which is known as a wine town, and almost all the major brands in the region have set up stores in Beaune, Dijon is the capital of Burgundy, where the transportation, facilities and communication are convenient, and it is the best transit point for people who come to Burgundy for the first time, whether it is tourism or business.

After leaving Paris, the crowding and prosperity of the city gradually left behind, the beauty and leisure of the countryside gradually presented in the field of vision, the field next to the road can see the European characteristics of the cabin, different from the simple and rough in the United States, the wooden house here with the European unique grace and simplicity, the garden at the door, the red roof, the parked bicycle and the climbing creeper, the details reveal the uniqueness, bring out the interest of life.

Taste.

That's the difference between the two continents. Americans lack historical heritage and cultural accumulation, so they are more in pursuit of simplicity and speed, just like fast food culture, popcorn movie culture, the process of commercial development is getting faster and faster, while Europe is more willing to slow down, not only to enjoy material beauty, but also to cultivate sentiment and harvest spiritual happiness.

Here, even the homeless will have their own little hobbies. This sentence is the best way to describe it.

So, even a rustic chalet can be tasted in a completely different style.

When he first got off the plane, Lu Li didn't have a good impression of Paris, feeling that it was just a big city, and there was no essential difference from those countless big cities, but now, the bad impression of the first impression was slowly reversing, and Lu Li couldn't help but think, perhaps, just like New York, this is a city that needs time to savor slowly.

The highway scenery in the United States is dominated by wide openings and closings, while Europe is dominated by mountains and hills.

"Castle!" Brandon's exclamation came from the back seat, which made Lu Li couldn't help but turn his head to look over, the corners of his mouth rose because of Brandon's rare gaffe, and his eyes saw the castle built on the top of the hill - a typical fairy tale castle, as if the scene in the Disney animated story appeared in front of him, the green of the mountain extended down the cornerstone of the castle, and the building stood lonely and resolute on the top of the mountain, bathed in the sun.

I can't help but start to draw a picture in my mind...... What vampires look like in it.
