Chapter 401: Liking the new and hating the old is a man's patent
The famous French writer Maupassant once said: The best place to appreciate the beauty of Paris is to stand on the Eiffel Tower.
When you go to Paris, of course, you have to climb the Eiffel Tower, otherwise you will go to Paris in vain, because the Eiffel Tower is not only a landmark of Paris, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs ElysΓ©e, but also the Empire State Building in New York and the TV station in Tokyo are known as the three famous buildings in the West.
If Notre-Dame Cathedral is the symbol of ancient Paris, then the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of modern Paris.
Not far from the Eiffel Tower is the famous Louvre, which is connected to the Champ de Mars, where the huge musical fountain and the illuminations of the Eiffel Tower are illuminated in a dreamy rainbow every night.
At this time, it is impossible to climb the tower, and Lan Wanyu can only admire its demeanor under the tower.
Up close, the three-dimensional effect of the pictures in the book in front of you is breathtaking. I sincerely feel that under the strong industrial background of Western countries in the eighteenth century, all civilizations are developing rapidly.
"Why not come tomorrow, I'd love to go up to the tower and have a look."
Gu Muhan hooked his lips and smiled, and took her hand, "This can be had." β
"Really!" Lan Wanyu didn't expect him to agree so quickly, her eyes lit up.
He bowed his head in confirmation. He has also visited the tower, and it is indeed a good place to enjoy the scenery, she should not miss it!
"Is it cold?!" He asked as he held her little hand tightly, his deep eyebrows and eyes were full of pity, and he was afraid that she would get carried away because she was happy and would cause a cold.
She shook her head, "It's just that my feet feel a little cold." β
He looked at her reddened nose and chuckled, "I knew you were reluctant to go, we will come back to the tower tomorrow, can we go back with peace of mind now?" β
She smiled and reached out to hug his thick waist, "Okay, but my feet are cold and I don't want to move, you hug me!" β
The temperature of the winter night in Paris was so low that she couldn't bear it when she first arrived.
Hearing this, Gu Muhan picked her up without saying a word and walked towards the car quickly.
"You still practice, today's weather is good, if you encounter a snowstorm, your little body is in France, and you don't have to go out in winter."
Hearing him teasing himself, Lan Wanyu rolled his eyes very unceremoniously, "My current calories can be your son, don't say that I'm so bad, my sister is also the kind of person who can survive the winter without wearing autumn pants in Li City." β
Gu Muhan laughed loudly, "What are autumn pants?" β
"You don't know what autumn pants are? Don't be funny, what did you wear to spend the winter growing up? Lan Wanyu was as surprised as if she had seen an alien.
Gu Muhan carefully put her into the back seat and instructed the driver to drive, before turning his face to look at her and saying, "If you don't need it, you don't know." β
This joke is cold, and the weather outside the car is almost the same, Lan Wanyu pursed her lips and pretended to be speechless to look away, and continued to stare at the scenery outside the window, with words in her mouth.
Gu Muhan was fiddling with his mobile phone, as if he was chatting with someone, his handsome facial features were soft and shiny, and he was very charming.
The car stopped, but Lan Wanyu found that it was not a hotel, but a cake shop that was open 24 hours a day and had a super high popularity in Paris.
Gu Muhan told her to wait in the car, and went to the store to buy her a cup of hot lemon tea and a piece of mousse cake.
On a cold winter night, it would be happier to have a little hot thing to warm her stomach, and besides, it was such a delicious dessert, Lan Wanyu liked it, and said that Gu Muhan was stingy, and a huge cake shop gave her two portions.
"I'm also thinking about the future, you finished eating the signboard in his store at one time, what will you eat in the future?"
Lan Wanyu burst out laughing, "You have a reason, we finally came here, we can eat and play as much as possible, and after staying, I don't know if I am interested in going back to Paris." β
Gu Muhan raised his eyebrows, "I like the new so much and hate the old, I don't know how many times I have to come here a year, and I don't bother you!" β
"Liking the new and hating the old is a man's patent, I don't dare to rob you of the credit!" She laughed so hard that she got carried away, and it was good to get cheap on this mouth.
However, she didn't look good when she was cool about someone's face, and she also knew that she had said something that was not appropriate for the situation, so she took a sip of hot tea vigorously and changed the topic, "I was very happy when I saw you playing with your phone just now, can you share any good things with me?" β
Gu Muhan's eyes flashed, but he was willing to share, hugged her into his arms, and let her find a comfortable position to lean on.
"My friend in France, I know that I brought you here, I have to meet us, he was the one who called before, he can't control his mouth, he likes to talk nonsense, I don't want you to meet him, he hung up the phone when he got angry, I guess he won't stop there, the most direct way is to find out the hotel where I stayed and then run behind the door to block me, so I temporarily decided to change the hotel, no, he just texted me again to ask where I was, the frequency is very urgent, the tone is not very right, I guess he is in the hotel now, After waiting for us, I will say that we are still playing outside, and we will not go back until later! β
Lan Wanyu never knew that Gu Muhan also had such a playful time, presumably this friend's relationship with him was really unusual, and he could play tricks on each other without too many identity boundaries, to be honest, she was quite like meeting this person.
She hooked her lips and smiled, "What if he waits, it's impossible for people to stand in front of the hotel and blow the cold wind, you are very naΓ―ve to behave, do you know?" Besides, if he wants to find you, sooner or later he will know that you have changed hotels, and what can you do if you come over again? β
"That's a matter later, I want to get a good night's sleep now, but it's jet lag!" There was a cunning light in his eyes.
It was already past one o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the hotel, and the two of them cleaned up neatly, took a comfortable hot shower, and climbed into bed to rest.
Gu Muhan still thought that Elantra was so godly, it was more than three o'clock in the morning, and he received a call from him asking when they would go back, and he almost couldn't bear it.
Of course, Elantra will not be stupid to the end, at seven o'clock in the morning, he sent the company's staff to send them a trip.
The itinerary included the best recommended places for a day of eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and it was obvious that the person who did it had put a lot of effort into it, and he accepted it unceremoniously, and he asked the staff to convey his gratitude, and invited Elantra and his sister to dinner at the Athenaeum Hotel tonight.
Hearing that she was going out to play, Lan Wanyu was active, changed her clothes in the shortest time, and took his arm out of the hotel.
The first stop is naturally the Eiffel Tower hand-picked by Lan Wanyu.
Today's weather is gloomy, and it looks like it's going to snow heavily, but this can't dampen the enthusiasm of the tourists at all, looking at the tourists who are waiting in line to go to the tower, Lan Wanyu said in a surprised and sour tone, "I didn't expect that wherever I played, it would be the same as in China, and there would be a long queue for everything!" β
Gu Muhan immediately held her little hand, "Pay attention to the surroundings, don't squeeze." β
She smiled at him, "As a citizen of Greater China, I have squeezed such a small place." β
He laughed, "Don't look at it, in the end, we are the most Chinese tourists." β
She nodded sympathetically, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "Then in that case, we can cut the line!" β
With that, she was going to rush forward with him.
Gu Muhan hurriedly tightened the force in his hand and pulled her back, without saying anything, but his eyes were warning her that it was best not to do such an unqualified thing.
"I'm kidding!" Lan Wanyu's little head was flatteringly attached to his arm, winking at him, in fact, as long as she was with him, she wouldn't feel sad no matter how boring the time was, what was it to line up.
Half an hour later, they followed visitors of all colors from all over the world and took the inclined elevator from the arched door of the concrete base to the tower's 57-meter-high first floor.
The tower is equipped with three observation towers, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, and each of the three observation towers has a different view.
The French say that the Eiffel Tower is the lookout of the capital, and it is true, standing on the tower, the whole of Paris is at your feet. The Palais de Chaillot at the back and its splashing fountains, the Seine River flowing quietly under your feet, the Champ de Mars and the ancient buildings of the French Military Academy, constitute an unforgettable landscape.
Here, there are also special commentators, using four international terms to introduce the scenery outside the tower and the history of the tower, Lan Wanyu heard some more shocking figures from the not fluent Chinese, such as the age of the tower's construction, the height, the financial and material resources spent, for example, which country's dignitaries were lucky after climbing the lighthouse.
It is worth mentioning that the Iron Lady still has to take a bath. Every seven years, the French government has to order someone to paint the Eiffel Tower with 300 tons of reddish green paint. The reason for the reddish green is that this color has the least impact on the blue sky and the green space of ChampdeMars below the tower.
There was also a small episode that made Lan Wanyu jealous on the first floor of the tour, perhaps because Gu Muhan's words became a prophecy before, a yellow-skinned woman among the tourists ran over to Gu Muhan with a red face and asked to take pictures, at first, Lan Wanyu still politely gave up her handsome husband, but with one there will be two, this woman retreated, that is, a bunch of women rushed up to ask for a group photo, there were all faces, and the degree of not recognizing life was to fall below Lan Wanyu's cognition, and finally couldn't help but get angry and refused to exit.
She blocked the third wave of people who asked for photos, and looked back at Gu Muhan angrily.
He is leisurely, he is very happy when someone asks for a group photo, isn't he, his vanity must be bursting, isn't it, why is he so cheeky, she agrees to take a picture that is polite, but he, as her husband, sees that she is ignored by other women, shouldn't she accept it, she has to chase people away like flies.
"I'm not looking, let's go back!" She didn't admit that she was jealous, but she didn't want to stay in this place anymore.
How could Gu Muhan not be able to see the blackened face, hooked his lips and smiled, "You can go up again, do you really want to go back?" β
Lan Wanyu's heart was moved by this sentence, but she had also seen the notice from the passage on the second floor before, and it was not so easy to go up to the second floor.
"Didn't people say that because there are so many tourists, you need to go up to the second floor?"
"You forget, that friend of mine is a capable man, and he can definitely handle this little thing." He smiled wickedly, then pulled out his phone and called Elantra.
This person was not ordinary fast, and in about three minutes, a manager personally came down to receive them and took them to the second and third floors.
Lan Wanyu slandered on the side, it turns out that this kind of thing is not unique to China, and more friends means more benefits.
The meso-level observation deck is 115 meters above the ground. Looking out from this level has the best views. Lan Wanyu found that it is also worth taking advantage of the relationship to go up to the second floor, standing in front of the sparsely populated observation deck, you can arbitrarily change the direction to find the scenery you want to see, the pale yellow Arc de Triomphe Tower, the Louvre in the green shade, and the white SacrΓ©-Coeur Church of Montmar are all clearly visible and colorful.
Climb the tower in the evening, you can see the night is picturesque, the lights are like brocade, the green reflects the shade of the trees, those street lamps that are intertwined like a net, really like a bead net after the rain, the grains are crystal clear. There is also a well-decorated panoramic restaurant on this floor, but it is reservation-only and not readily open to regulars.
"I haven't eaten here a few times since I've been to the tower, so it's better to settle lunch here." He looked down at the woman who had already been attracted by the food and said.
Lan Wanyu couldn't ask for it, but in order not to occupy the staff for too long, she first went to the third-floor observatory to visit.
The top observation deck, 274 meters above the ground, is the best place to see from afar, and it gives the impression that the noisy Paris has suddenly fallen silent and becomes a huge map, with countless lines of different widths and narrows drawn by the avenues and alleys. The whole of Paris is at your feet, and when you have a clear view during the day, you can see 60 kilometers away.
