Today is the second day of the museum card, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu planned their itinerary early, and formulated a sequential tour of Notre Dame Cathedral-Louvre-Place de la Concorde-Champs-Elysées-Arc de Triomphe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as I got out of the subway entrance, I saw Notre Dame Cathedral, which looked delicate and elegant but did not feel as tall as I imagined. Originally, the façade of Notre-Dame was the equivalent of a foyer (a pair of bell towers), and the building behind it extended very deeply.

I have always disliked Gothic architecture, and I always felt that it gave people a sense of white bones, and its own name was also discriminatory (vulgar, barbaric).

It is not as atmospheric and elegant as ancient Greek architecture, nor is it as romantic and magical as Byzantine architecture. However, when the clouds fall into the interior of the church, they have to admit that the architectural art combined with lighting art and music has a great role in guiding and influencing the soul, and we have to admit that Gothic is indeed the most suitable architectural style for the church.

The general style of Gothic architecture is characterized by ethereal, slender, tall, and pointy. The ethereal artistic conception and vertical upward form are the most accurate expression of the spiritual connotation of Christianity.

All the walls are unified by vertical lines, and all the modeling parts and decorative details are composed of pointed arches, sharp coupons, and spires, and all the arches are pointed, high and straight, ethereal, and illusory images, which seem to point directly to the heavens, inspiring people to get out of this world of suffering and sin, and go to the "paradise of heaven".

Entering the interior of the church, a myriad of vertical lines invite the gaze, and all the towers, buttresses, and walls are crowned with small spires that pierce the sky. The vault tens of meters high is faintly shimmering in the dim light, coupled with religious reverie, it seems that heaven is above, and the church becomes a place of "dialogue with God".

Even if Yunluo does not believe in Christ. Even people who are impetuous or even sinful will have a kind of reverence when they arrive here, and their minds will return to peace, and they can't help but start to introspect.

The main hall of Notre-Dame is free to visit, and the museum card includes the tower, but the queue outside the tower stretches for several hundred meters. For Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, who were pressed for time, they could only retreat, and when they were about to leave, they suddenly found that the crowd in line was paying attention to Yunluo with strange eyes, and Yunluo was puzzled.

However, he felt a tightness on his shoulders - someone was not committing murder in broad daylight, Yunluo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and looked back timidly, only to see a terrifying face behind Yunluo's head, so frightened that Yunluo bounced away 3 meters away like an electric shock, and everyone laughed. The "weirdo" spread his hands and apologized to Yunluo with an innocent face.

It turned out that this person had been playing such a mischievous joke with the girl in the crowd, I don't know if it was the boredom and anxiety of the management side queuing up for the transfer or if someone liked to perform this good-natured prank, but it brought a lot of entertainment and coolness to this hot wait, which is really a memorable little episode.

The journey from Notre-Dame to the Louvre is a journey to see the famous used bookstalls on the banks of the Seine. It's a microcosm of old Paris, with pictorials, catalogues, and coats of arms that you can savor and know if you have time. You may be delighted to discover a treasure.

It is said that to taste Paris, you should not only travel through the attractions and museums, but also enjoy an afternoon of coffee in an artist café to experience the real Paris. Take a stroll with your loved one on the banks of the Seine, browse the second-hand book stalls for the unexpected, or munch on an authentic French meal in an intimate Michelin-starred restaurant.

But Yunluo and Yan Shenyu are not blessed to endure such a life, and can only eat fast food in Paris! The Louvre, one of the oldest, largest and most famous museums in the world, is also the oldest royal palace in French history. Located on the north bank of the Seine River (right bank) in the center of Paris, France, it was founded in 1204. After more than 800 years of expansion and reconstruction, it has reached today's scale.

Although the Louvre and Versailles are both royal palaces of France, their appearance and layout are more orthodox and atmospheric. It has to be said that when you look at the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles displays a shocking artwork that dwarfs the clouds, and the Louvre Palace currently has a total collection of more than 400,000 art treasures from all over the world. The quantity, rarity and artistry are second to none.

It's dazzling and breathtaking. Napoleon's expansion and dominance in Europe led to the transportation of thousands of tons of art from the temples, libraries and Catholic churches of all the conquered countries to Paris. War meant cruelty and destruction, but the whims of the leaders (though perhaps just selfish desires) allowed so many fine works to be preserved and gathered.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu can share the culture of various places in the shortest time in one hall, which shows that the so-called right and wrong are really contradictory. Some people have calculated that even if you only look at each piece for one second, it will take a month to see the entire collection of the art hall. When Yunluo and Yan Shenyu asked at the general information desk.

A Frenchman instructed Yunluo and Yan Shenyu in authentic Chinese that the Three Treasures were over there. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu couldn't help but be depressed, I don't know if he was so perfunctory to tourists from other countries, could it be that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu only looked at the three treasures? But this depression soon dissipated, as Yunluo and Yan Shenyu soon discovered that they could not truly appreciate every work of art.

Even if you are interested, you should watch it for at least a few days. So a lot of random works of art that are worth studying in art class for half a day flew away in Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's hurry, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu felt guilty on the one hand, but they had to go straight to Sanbao.

From the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde to the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe, all the way measured with footsteps, although tired but steady. Xiangjie can't help but make Yunluo a little disappointed, not as grand and prosperous as he imagined. LV's main store was crowded with Chinese people, and Yunluo couldn't accept a bag of 10,000 yuan after all, so he left with Xiaobai, who was gloating.

It is worth mentioning that Leondebruxelles (Belgian blue shell mussels) are cheap but of very good quality. Worth recommending! It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Notre-Dame to the Louvre, and although it looks close on the map, Yunluo recommends taking the subway. Save more energy for art.

2. After observing for two days, Yunluo found that the Greeks were more enthusiastic than the French, and couples could be seen kissing and making tsk sounds everywhere in Greece, while Paris may have less to do with the weather than to see.

It's a pity that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu mustered up the courage or didn't have the courage to follow suit, in their opinion, the usual way to express love, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu are still awkward to do.

3. The Louvre does not have a Chinese interpreter (both in Japanese), which is very suspected of bullying. Just looking at a work of art without knowing where it came from is really a lot less meaningful, so a guide to buying a Louvre painting is very necessary.

Flights at 20:00 p.m., left for shopping today. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went straight to the Parislook duty-free shop after a circle in Lafayette according to the introduction of Wu Rui's "Paris Raiders" in the forum, who knew that after looking for a long time, they found that the store had been closed (is it the cause of the economic crisis), so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu hurried to Kam's duty-free shop to find out.

The duty-free shop used to be so small, and there are many similar small duty-free shops around it, and Marionnaud (the largest shareholder, widely distributed, with many promotions) has to be recommended, but the store is not large, and it is estimated that it is similar to SASA. I have to say, if you want to talk about shopping paradise, it has to be.

Paris, that is, the local top brands, are fast and cheap, and the rest is really unsatisfactory. After all, it is still very uneconomical to use socialist money for capitalism.

After a few days in Paris, I have to talk about my impression of Parisians. In general, white Parisians are warm, expressive, qualified, helpful, humorous, and gentlemanly. However, there is always a hatred, indifference and resistance on the faces of black people in Paris, which gives people a very defensive feeling. Originally, the person was black, and he still had a black face.

Like someone owes him 200 dollars. It is estimated that although the slaves are now emancipated, their social status is still different, which causes their repressive character. Before the trip, many people reminded Yunluo that Sino-French relations were tense and that they should be careful of the safety of Yunluo and Yan Shenyu. But Yun Luo felt that he didn't feel too much hostility when he went deep into their downtown streets.

I didn't feel much different from them. Of course, they may have discrimination and dissent in their hearts, but they will not show it because of their cultivation and professionalism.

In general, the difference between political power and ideology is ultimately controlled by those in power, except for a few radicals, ordinary people are always kind, the more peaceful and comfortable people live, the less concerned they are about so-called international relations and disputes, who wants to find something to break the peaceful and stable life to add to their own blockage?

Galeries Lafayette's discount coupons have been distributed to the hotel, and they cannot be obtained at the front desk, and Spring Department Store can get the discount coupon with your passport, but perhaps because of the language, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu failed to use it in the end.

After applying for a cash refund guaranteed by a credit card at the mall (the discount is 1-2 percentage points less), you also need to take the relevant procedures to the airport for stamping and sending it back. I did not carefully inspect the goods at the airport, but it is recommended that it is best not to open the seal before knocking on the seal.

There are many duty-free shops outside the airport security check at Charles de Gaulle, and there are many varieties and reasonable prices. But Yunluo and Yan Shenyu didn't know, thinking that it was tax-free after the security check (Yunluo remembered that this is the case in China), and there were also a small number of tax-free purchase points when entering the boarding gate, and they could enjoy discounts by swiping the card with a UnionPay card to a certain amount.

The waiters in the Paris mall are very dedicated, they only provide one-on-one service, when he greets the previous customer, even if you ask him again and are anxious, he will not let go of the customer in front of him, even if he loses a new customer.

There's a great fast food restaurant downstairs from Printemps that serves a variety of salads that are very hearty and delicious, and the prices are cheap. It is a good choice for those who are in a hurry to go shopping and simply deal with a meal. (To be continued.) )
