Overnight, arrive at the IBS Budget Hotel in Paris. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, it was only ten o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still bright and the air was refreshing. No stars twinkled through the clouds, not even the moon.

Paris, I'm here, Pinggo reverie.

Indeed, standing in front of the window, gazing at the darkening night sky, Pingguo felt a sense of excitement in his chest.

In Paris, when I read Balzac, Hugo, and Sartre as a teenager, how Pingo longed for the day to stand under such a starry sky and be intoxicated by the dreams of art.

Finally, there will be leisure, money and family affection, let Pingguo come to taste this metropolis - the world's fourth largest international metropolis, can you not be excited?

The word Paris derives from Parisii, a branch of ancient Gaul.

The tribe was founded in the 3rd century BC in a small fishing village on the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine, owned by the ancient Gallic tribe of the "Parisians". In 52 BC, the Paris region was conquered by the Romans. In 358 AD, the Romans built the palace, which is considered the first year of the founding of Paris. The Romans originally named the city "Lutesia", which means "marshland". It was renamed Paris in 400 AD. But the center of the Roman province of Gaul was actually in the south of Lyon, and Paris was only a small settlement, concentrated on the Left Bank.

In 508 AD, the capital of the Frankish kingdom was Paris. After the end of the Revolution, Napoleon carried out a new expansion of Paris, built the Arc de Triomphe and the north and south wings of the Louvre, renovated the banks of the Seine, dredged the river, and built a large number of classical palaces, mansions, and apartments.

Napoleon III appointed Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann, prefect of the Seine and chief of police in Paris, to oversee the massive urban transformation of Paris. Haussmann demolished the outer walls of Paris, built the ring road, carved out many straight boulevards in the old town, and built numerous neoclassical squares, parks, residential areas, hospitals, train stations, libraries, schools, as well as public fountains and street sculptures, and built the city's water supply and drainage system using the old stone mines that crisscrossed the Paris underground.

During the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune of 1871, Paris was once again devastated by war.

Faced with defeat, the Paris Commune set fire to many of the main buildings in Paris on May 24, 1871.

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution and to prepare for the Paris World's Fair.

The Paris metro was built for the 1900 Universal Exposition, as well as the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais.

On the eve of the liberation of Paris in 1944, Hitler ordered the complete destruction of the city, but this order was not carried out. On August 25, 1944, Paris was liberated.

Today, Paris is still the capital and largest city of the French Republic, the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of France, and the fourth largest international metropolis in the world after New York, London and Tokyo. Paris is the world's largest French-speaking city, the heart of France, the headquarters of multinational enterprises, the largest industrial city in France and an important comprehensive transportation hub in the world, an important place for international activities, a place for various types of international conferences, a prosperous and beautiful world famous city and tourist attraction, one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world, known as the "flower capital of the world". Parisian perfume is also well-known all over the world, known as the "dream industry", and is regarded as a national treasure by the French.

France is also a city of history, gastronomy and creativity, with thousands of window stalls filled with creative products and fashion designers. It has a temperate oceanic climate, with no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. It is also the first city in European history to effectively protect the city's precious natural property, trees, with 397 parks with a total area of 3.58 million square meters, and an average of nearly 20 parks per community.

Paris, beautiful and magical, is a representative of architectural art, a model for the protection of the ancient city, a model for the cultural environment, and a model for ecological civilization. Museums, theaters, gardens, fountains and sculptures can be found everywhere.

Parisians, even Professor Zhu Ziqing said that there are "elegant bones" in everyone.

Indeed, in such an atmosphere of artistic charm, Pingguo "breathes the artistic atmosphere almost like breathing air, and naturally becomes elegant". Even the list of street artists is endless.

Ping Hanhan said: "The University of Paris is the most admirable. I remember that in 1814, when the Russian-Austro-Austrian army was under the city of Paris, the students of the Polytechnic Institute asked to join the war, but in the face of annihilation, he said: "I do not want to kill my old hen for the golden egg!" Over the past 200 years, a large number of talents have been cultivated for France, such as Foch, the commander of the Allied forces in World War I, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, Begulel, the automobile industrialist Citroën, and the French President d'Estaing. National Day is celebrated on July 14 every year. At the military parade held in front of the Arc de Triomphe, the young officers at the front of the phalanx were the cadets of the school. The Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1794. At that time, Napoleon classified the school as a military establishment and awarded it a pennant with the words "For the science and honor of the fatherland". The school has now moved to Palaiseau, a 150-hectare area with more than 1,200 students. The École Normale Supérieure in Paris is also particularly famous, and it is said that the final decision on the admission list of new students is decided by the Minister of Education, and the chemist and microbiologist Pasteur, the writer Sartre, and President Pompidou have all graduated here. Mom, you say, isn't it amazing!"

Pinggo nodded, yes, Paris, will always be a place where romantic and literary people aspire to live.

Pinggo knew that Paris was divided into 20 arrondissements. In the past, when I saw this, I didn't feel anything special. When I arrived in Paris, I realized that the profound meaning of such a division of regions is: poor and noble, poor and rich, quiet and noisy, safe and dangerous, extravagant and modest, at a glance.

For example, the first arrondissement: on the north bank of the Seine-et-Marne River, there are the world-famous Louvre Museum, the Royal Palace, the Tuileries Gardens, the large complex shopping mall in Leialle, government offices, churches, etc., which is a tourist area.

For example, the 4th arrondissement: on the north bank of the Seine-et-Marne, including two islands in the river, Boulevard Saint-Anthony and Avenue Cialis, the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Paris City Hall, the Paris Police Station, the hospital, two museums, the Pompidou Center, and the pleasant scenery of the Seine-et-Marne Riverside, which is a busy area of Paris.

For example, the 5th arrondissement: also known as the "quartier du Panthéon". This district is called the Latin Quarter, the Temple of the Panthéon, the Botanical Garden, the church, the famous Sorbonne, the Institut de France, as well as various types of schools such as the Polytechnic and Collège, museums, monuments, bookstores, it is the most cultural, artistic and academic area of Paris, with unique open-air cafes, mouth-watering food from all over the world, and tourists strolling along the famous Boulevard Saint-Michel or Boulevard Saint-Germain are like crucian carp.

For example, the 7th arrondissement: also known as the "Palais Bourbon". The Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's Tomb, the Musée d'Orsay, the Military Museum, the Military Academy, and the south bank of the Seine-et-Marne River are famous for their wide streets and majestic buildings. Embassies and state institutions of various countries are concentrated in the places where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and some high-end residential areas are concentrated.

For example, the 8th arrondissement: the most lively and touristy district in Paris, because of the famous Champs-Élysées, from the famous Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, a total length of about 2 kilometers, 365 days, every day is full of traffic, tourists are like carp; the Champs-Élysées is lined with shops, fashion stores, boutiques, perfume shops, the streets and alleys are full of five-star hotels, high-end restaurants; along the Rue de la Saint-Dono-noir is the well-guarded presidential palace, the Elysee Palace, where the Ministry of the Interior and the Admiralty are located, as well as the large and small palaces, Church of Madeleine, etc.

For example, District 13: also known as Gobelins. That is, Chinatown, is the area where the Chinese in Paris live the most to make a living, with high-rise buildings and wide streets; with the Place d'Italia as the center, six avenues radiate in the shape of a star, most of the Chinese are Southeast Asian Chinese, and Paris Storey and Chen's shopping malls are good places for Chinese to buy oriental goods. There are many Chinese restaurants with a variety of cuisines, and Teochew City Restaurant has a band-accompanied singing and dancing show for dinner from Friday to Sunday, and the price is reasonable.

For example, the 17th arrondissement: located in the northwest of Paris, a residential and commercial area. There are many elderly people and wealthy businessmen living in this district, and it is one of the quietest districts in Paris, and it is also known as the rich district of Little Paris by Parisians.

For example, the 18th arrondissement: located in the north of Paris, the famous Sacré-Coeur, Montmartre, Place du Tertre, the famous red light district and the Moulin Rouge nightclub are the nightlife venues of Paris.

Pingo feels that it is particularly worth mentioning: first, the Bastille Canton: an area of historical importance not only for Paris, but for the whole of France, often used for political demonstrations and labor protests.

The second is the Champs-Élysées: connecting the Place de la Concorde with the Arc de Triomphe, a 17th-century garden-style promenade. It is one of the many tourist attractions and the main shopping street in Paris.

The third is the Place de la Concorde: located at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées, it was first built as the "Place Louis XV", the site of the infamous guillotine. The Egyptian obelisk is the "oldest monument" in Paris. It is said that the gold on it is real. On the square, on either side of the Royal Road, there are two identical stone buildings: the French Admiralty to the east, and the luxurious Hotel Crryon to the west.

The fourth is Place Vendôme: known for its fashion and luxury hotels, it has the Retiro Hotel and the Hotel Vendôme and their jewelry stores, and many famous fashion designers have their salons on the square.

The fifth is Reyalle: the largest metro link station in Europe, surrounded by major shopping malls and the market square of Real.

Sixth, Avenue Montaigne, adjacent to the Champs-Élysées, is home to luxury brands, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Givenchy.

Ping Hanhan said: "I love Paris, and I love the University of Paris even more. I hope I'm good enough to apply for a PHD here. Look, this "World Congress City", how beautiful it is, it happens to be related to my international relations major. Look, the bright scenery, the many places of interest, the colorful cultural activities and the modern service facilities are all bordering on the European culture major of my master's degree. Mom, I just read a statistic that says that there were 365 international conferences held in Paris one year, surpassing New York, London, Brussels, and Geneva, and ranking first in the world. It's almost one a day. In case you know, the headquarters of international organizations such as UNESCO, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the International Chamber of Commerce, and the Paris Club are all located in Paris. ”

Pingguo said, "That's great! Well, if you can, I completely agree with you to apply for a Ph.D. to study at the University of Paris!

Ping Hanhan said again: "Mom, you don't know, in Paris, the transportation is really convenient." Yes, Paris is the largest passenger rail transit station in France, but did you know that there are six railway stations alone: Montparnasse, Salazaire, Lyon, Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est and Gare Osdrytz. The Paris metro is the main force of transportation in Paris, with a total of 14 main lines and 2 branch lines, and subway stations all over the city, among which the latest line 14 is very modern and is a fully automatic and driverless line. Paris also has a great number of bus lines, with more than 50 in total, and the regional express rail is responsible for the transport between the city and the rest of Île-de-France, with a total of 5 lines (A-E) running through the city.

In addition, the city of Paris is surrounded by 4 tram lines. It is extremely convenient to travel from Paris to all parts of France, and the French national railway company has built a number of high-speed wheel-rail trains that take only 2 hours from Paris to Lyon, 3 hours to Marseille and 3 and a half hours to Sbourg.

In addition, there is a public transport system RATP, inter-provincial transport, etc. The special service RATP offers passenger passes from 1 to 5 days. MOBILIS OFFERS PASSES FOR ANY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION ANYWHERE IN ONE DAY. €5 a day for zones 1 to 2 and €17.95 a day for zones 1 to 8. It's completely different from ours in China, isn't it?"

Pingguo was amazed, his eyes stared at his princess tightly, and when she had a little respite, he smiled: "Baby, when did you know everything about Paris?"
