Section 889 The long river of flowing history
readx;
This is a suburban route, you have to buy a separate ticket, 3.45 euros/person one-way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is a bit similar to the light rail line 5 in Beijing, Line 13 or something, the car is very comfortable, or two floors up and down.
Get out of the car and walk a few steps, follow the flow of people to find the Palace of Versailles, and from a distance, An Chuyu and An Qingju are thundered.
Chinese and foreign tourists lined up in the sun-exposed square, and everyone was so stabbed by the sun that they couldn't open their eyes and had nowhere to escape. An Chuyu and An Qingju stepped forward to ask a security guard where there was a passage to the umpass, and received a tragic reply. "It's all the same, it's all in line."
At first, I thought the security guard didn't understand, so I asked another security guard, and sure enough, the Palace of Versailles didn't give the museum pass any preferential entrance. I've heard that the palace at Versailles costs money to visit, but it doesn't cost you the same as Fontainebleau to enter the garden, so let's go to the garden. The result?
There is also a queue at the entrance to the garden. It turns out that when there is a "special exhibition" in the garden, there is a separate fee. It can be said that not only An Chuyu and An Qingju, but all tourists are looking around helplessly. Seeing a few Chinese people hiding in the shade between the porches of a building, An Chuyu and An Qingju stepped forward to ask if they had come to play by themselves.
These people who came with the group from Baoding said that the tour guide was "very wise", and brought them before eight o'clock. Several Chinese comforted An Chuyu and An Qingju. "It's all here, let's line, it's a pity not to go in.
An Chuyu and An Qingju watched it, and they went in in an hour and a half." An Chuyu and An Qingju were speechless for a while. I thanked them and turned back to take the train back to the city.
Summary. The Palace of Versailles is relative to Paris, and it is probably equivalent to the Summer Palace relative to the capital. It is a popular tourist attraction in the suburbs. When visiting during the tourist season, you must be mentally prepared. At this time, An Chuyu and An Qingju, after feeling the Louvre and the streets of Paris, already knew that "Paris, An Chuyu will come back", so leave this little regret to make up for next time.
After returning to the city from an unsuccessful visit to Versailles, the two men slipped into the Invalides. I didn't have a good strategy before, I thought that Les Invalides was just to see Napoleon's coffin. I didn't expect it to be quite large, and there are more than n museums in it at the same time - but I made full use of a museum pass. This day was actually sent directly to the Invalides.
There was no place to rest in the Invalides. There are no plants, stone buildings everywhere. However, there is a large lawn outside the Invalides as usual, and the road by the lawn happens to be a stop for several tour buses, and many young tourists are like An Chuyu and An Qingju while "Picknick" on the grass. While waiting for the tour bus.
When the food is spread out and the warm sunlight is swept into the stomach, you don't feel heavy on your back! ――Supposedly, it's also on the body, why don't you feel heavy?
The predecessor of Les Invalides was a "retirement home" for disabled soldiers built by order of Louis XIV. Entering the north gate is the Courtyard of Honor, a rectangular plaza surrounded by two-story buildings. On either side of the building are the French Military Museum, the Ancient Museum of Weapons and Armor to the west, the Modern Museum from Louis XIV to Napoleon III to the east, and the World War Museum to the south.
This military museum is also divided into several sub-galleries; By the way, there is also a very special map model sand table museum, which exhibits all the military fortress sand tables made in previous battles. Les Invalides offers audio guides. Rent a 6 euro, all the pavilions of the Invalides have introductions, there are editions. It's made with an ipod and it's nice.
Just be careful, if the tour is very long, don't forget to check if the battery is sufficient when you pick up the tour guide. Let's start with the church where Napoleon's coffin is kept. The domed church is so striking that you can see its golden dome from afar, hence its name.
It used to be a church. Later, during the French period, it was renamed the "Temple of the God of War". The coffin of the "national hero" in the hearts of the French, that is, the marshal of the revolution, is placed here for people to pay respects. There is the French Generalissimo Viscount Durenny, and there is a man named Vauban .
For foreigners, these people are not familiar with each other, and the most familiar one is Napoleon's coffin, which is placed in the center of the church.
We won't talk about Napoleon's merits here, and those who don't know will make up for it by themselves. After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, he was exiled to St. Helena, in the Atlantic, where he died. 19 years later, Louis of the July Dynasty of France? When Philip was in power, in order to win the hearts of the people, he sent a warship to St. Helena to retrieve Napoleon's bones.
According to the audio guide. The government consulted and decided that it would be best to place his coffin in the domed church of Les Invalides with other "national heroes". So he rebuilt the church and sunk the ground of the church to create a rotunda where the coffin was placed, and white marble reliefs were placed around the round hall to praise Napoleon's great life.
It is said that on the day the coffin was returned, the people of Paris poured out of their nests, and countless crowds braved the bitter cold, wind and snow to escort the coffin through the Arc de Triomphe, which had been built before Napoleon's death and had not been seen until his death, to the Invalides on the banks of the Seine. He got what he wanted, because he had a will.
"Ann Chuyu's body lies on the banks of the Seine, among the French people that An Chuyu loved so much."
When visiting the Dome of the Rock and Napoleon's coffin, I saw a group of veterans also visiting here, and I didn't know what kind of troops they were in their costumes, and I couldn't understand what they explained in French. However, Ann Chuyu thought that such scenes should be seen here often.
There are black holes in the sand table museum, but those sand tables are really realistic! Since the purpose of these sand tables is to prepare for war, the content of the sand tables is mainly fortresses or military fortresses. There is also the famous Château d'If .
When I came out of the Invalides, I saw the bridge with four golden pillars in the large exhibition hall, which was very eye-catching.
I have nagged many routes for shopping in Paris before, and An Chuyu and An Qingju have almost stepped on them. The road I talked about today is probably a must-visit route for tourists, which is equivalent to our "* Square - Wangfujing - Jingshan - Houhai" line in the capital.
Repeat the line. Departure from the Arc de Triomphe? Walking along the Champs-Élysées and looking at the tall shops on both sides? And then to the Place de la Concorde, along the northern wall of the Louvre? Heading north to Place Vendôme and looking around for luxury hotels? A resplendent Paris Opera? To Galeries Lafayette and Printemps.
Take the subway to the Arc de Triomphe, and as soon as you come out, there are dark clouds overhead, and the heavy rain is shaky.
It's raining fast, but the Arc de Triomphe, like the square, is full of enthusiastic tourists. An Chuyu and An Qingju found a Northeast uncle in the chaos and pinched a group photo of An Chuyu and An Qingju. I thought that finding a man with better shooting skills and good framing, I should really buy a selfie artifact on the Internet and bring it.
There are more than 1oo in Europe, and I heard that there are more than 1oo (which is very close to human cognition), but this one is well marketed, it is the most well-known, and it is also the largest. The sculptures, allegories, etc., on it, please explain it very clearly.
Today, the Arc de Triomphe can be regarded as the largest "roundabout sculpture" in Paris, and there are twelve radiating streets around it, and all the cars go around this roundabout, which is spectacular enough and enough to test the driver.
The Museum Pass includes the Arc de Triomphe to the top, so don't miss it, it's worth seeing. However, the spiral staircase to the top is very narrow, and when you go upstairs, your nose will touch the heel in front of you, and you should be careful not to step on other people's hoodies when you go downstairs.
When I reached the top, it had already begun to rain as heavily as noodles and gluten outside, but fortunately, An Chuyu and An Qingju had sunscreen jackets and umbrellas to prevent light rain, otherwise there would be no way to stand out and see after reaching the top.
has an umbrella and a coat, or chokes An Chuyu and An Qingju enough. The summer rain in France is coming, and tourists should be reminded to bring rain gear with them when they go to France. An Chuyu and An Qingju struggle to distinguish the Eiffel Tower (this is easy to identify) and the Champs-Élysées (this really depends on the map) in the heavy rain.
The planning of Paris is really good, standing on the Arc de Triomphe, Paris can basically be seen at a glance, except for the Eiffel Tower and the "Montparnasse Tower" next to the apartment where An Chuyu and An Qingju lived, the other buildings are about the same height.
Ann Chuyu has seen a beautiful French cartoon called "Cats in Paris", in which the thief Nick always flies around on the rooftops of long apartment buildings in Paris. An Chuyu and An Qingju personally overlooked these rooftops, and felt that running wild on the rooftop of the apartment building was also a Parisian-style romance.
Coming down from the Arc de Triomphe, Paris changed its face again. It's sunny! This is good, it is just convenient for An Chuyu and An Qingju to continue shopping. So An Chuyu and An Qingju found the Champs-Élysées and walked all the way down it. After walking only 100 meters, the sky was already blue, and immediately there were white clouds. This is a typical picture of the Champs-Élysées.
There are countless famous shops on this street, and there are countless tourists like An Chuyu and An Qingju on the roadside; Some are crazy purchases of large bags and small packages, and there are also An Chuyu and An Qingju who are watching and chatting empty-handed.
But there are those tourists who like zuo -- not all Chinese here, but all over the world -- who have to jump right in the middle of the road, pose exaggerated for their companions to take pictures, and then cross the three lanes and run back.
An Chuyu doesn't know if this kind of person has ever driven a car by himself and met others on a similar street like this, anyway, An Chuyu has to give a middle finger when he sees this kind of person when he drives. In fact, just strolling on the side of the road, if you have money, you will go to the famous store, and if you don't have money, you will windowping for a while, isn't it good?
You don't have to worry about running out of food when you walk around this street, and you don't have to worry too much about whether you want to eat the "French way". There are all kinds of tourists, and there are many street stalls. The most common is the crepe (crepe) stall. The stall is the size of our newsstand, and you can see one almost every few hundred meters. (To be continued)
