At eight o'clock Paris time, the minibus departed from the "Dream Paris Hotel" on time.

About half an hour later, the tour guide girl Xiao Luo, led all the members of the "Golden Autumn Group", and came to the first scenic spot of today's tour:

- The Louvre!

As we all know, the Louvre is one of the three oldest, largest, and most famous museums in the world.

At the same time, it is also one of the oldest and most distinctive antique royal palaces in the history of France.

The Louvre is located in the heart of Paris, France, on the north bank of the Seine.

The Louvre is actually a stone's throw away from the "French Printemps" department store where the "Golden Autumn Tour" went yesterday.

The palace was built in 1204 and was expanded and rebuilt over 800 years to reach its current size.

The Louvre Museum has always been famous for its rich collection of classical paintings and sculptures, and is one of the most precious buildings of the French Renaissance.

The Louvre covers an area of 24 hectares, of which 4.8 hectares are buildings, and the other 19 hectares are large green lawns, passages and parking lots.

The overall building of the Louvre is designed and built in a "U" shape, and is divided into two groups: the old and the new.

The old Louvre was built during the reign of Louis XIV; The new royal palace was built in the Napoleonic era.

Today, at the entrance to the main entrance of the Louvre, is a pyramid made of transparent plexiglass, which is also one of the most famous masterpieces of Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei.

In the Louvre, there are six major parts: the Helleno-Roman Art Gallery, the Egyptian Art Gallery, the Oriental Art Gallery, the Painting Gallery, the Sculpture Gallery and the Decorative Arts Gallery.

One of the most famous is the "Three Treasures of the Town Palace"! They include:

- Venus, the goddess of love

— Nika, the goddess of victory

- The beautiful "Mona Lisa".

At the same time, the museum also has a large collection of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Oriental antiques, as well as ancient relics from France and Italy.

The area of the exhibition hall is 55,000 square meters in total!

In the museum's collection catalog, the number of artworks clearly recorded has exceeded 400,000 pieces, and they are divided into many categories according to the characteristics of the collections.

Among them are works of art from ancient Egypt, Greece, Etruscan and Rome, works of art from Eastern countries, and various sculptures from the Middle Ages to modern times.

There are also a staggering number of precious playthings of ancient royal families, as well as paintings of celebrities.

To date, the Louvre is the world's most famous and glorious temple of art!

After the members of the "Golden Autumn Troupe" got off the bus in the parking lot, they followed the pennant of the tour guide Xiao Luo and soon came to the entrance of the pyramid at the main entrance of the Louvre.

At this time, the entrance is already crowded and crowded!

When they got to the entrance, the tour guide Xiao Luo asked the group to stop and rest in a relatively small place.

Then, Xiao Luo went to the ticket office alone to buy admission tickets.

After returning from the ticket office, Xiao Luo handed out an admission ticket to each member of the group.

Then, the tour guide Xiao Luo informed everyone:

"Friends, the Louvre Museum we are about to visit has an exhibition area of more than 50,000 square meters, and you will visit for a longer time.

When we go in, we may get separated because we are free to move. However, it doesn't matter if you get separated. Because the road signs in the museum are very clear, and there are special Chinese road signs.

As long as you follow the signs, you will definitely find a way out. Please remember that before 11 o'clock in the morning, everyone must come out of this gate, and at 11 o'clock sharp, we will still meet here. ”

After the notice, the tour guide girl immediately led the group members into the entrance of the pyramid with transparent glass; She herself was outside the pyramid.

"Xiao Luo, aren't you going in?"

After several contacts yesterday and this morning, although they don't know each other very well, Liping feels in her heart that this tour guide has clear thinking, concise speech, and steady work, so she naturally has a good impression of her.

Liping saw that Xiao Luo stayed outside the entrance, so she asked in a friendly manner.

"Oh, this museum, I've led the group into it more than a dozen times. I'm not going in today. Xiao Zhang, go and visit by yourself. I sincerely wish you two a mountain of love and a happy trip! ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo smiled and smiled at Liping and Mengdu.

As a result, Liping no longer plays with the guide. After nodding goodbye to the guide girl, she reached out and took Mengdu's arm and entered the museum with her companions from the Golden Autumn Troupe.

On the way from the hotel to the Louvre, because the tour guide Xiao Luo concisely introduced the basic situation of this art palace to the members, after everyone entered the Louvre, most of the members of the group followed the visit route map marked on the admission ticket, and quickly walked to the exhibition hall with the oil paintings of "Venus Eros", "Nika, Goddess of Victory" and "Mona Lisa".

Mengdu and Liping, like their companions, walked through the collection of works passing by the exhibition hall, while speeding up their pace and hurried towards the exhibition hall where the "treasure of the town palace" was hidden.

In less than half an hour, Liping and Mengdu arrived in the exhibition hall inlaid with the portrait of the "Mona Lisa".

Unexpectedly, when Mengdu and Liping entered the exhibition hall, the exhibition hall was already crowded with tourists from all over the world.

Especially in front of the wall with the portrait of the "Mona Lisa", it is really crowded at this time, and it is difficult for anyone to get involved.

Of course, from the language of the tourists crowded in front of the "Mona Lisa", you can immediately hear that at least half of the visitors here are from China!

It is no wonder that many countries in the world are vying and rushing to apply for visa-free passports for Chinese citizens, or to provide convenience for tourist visas for Chinese citizens!

It turns out that Chinese tourists have now become the largest tourist group in the world!

Moreover, according to the statistics of the world's relevant departments and media, Chinese tourists are not only numerous, but also coveted by many countries, but many Chinese tourists are "local tyrants" and "Chinese aunts" with thousands of pockets!

What do you mean by "local tyrants" and "Chinese aunts"?

To put it bluntly, isn't it because they are very rich, and they are generous, and they are especially willing to spend the money in their pockets?

Isn't it just that they will generously and foolishly send large sums of cash to countries that make money from tourism?

Take the Louvre, for example, no matter how many people you visit, it only costs 11 euros!

It is said that this fare has been around for decades and has never been raised.

In addition, the museum has a free drinking water supply and offers some of the best guided tours and guided tours in the world.

Why did the Louvre do this?

That's how clever and brilliant the French are!

It turns out that when the French earn money from foreign tourists, they never consider the local interests of a certain industry, a certain region or a certain enterprise, but start from the overall situation, from the whole country, and from the long-term, and skillfully arrange their money-making strategies!

For example, when you visit the Louvre, I only charge you 11 euros for admission, which shouldn't be a lot of money when compared to the collection and the level of service?

Hehe, tickets are indeed not profitable!

However, I can let you come to the Louvre to have a comprehensive understanding of the classical culture of France, which can promote the cultural essence of the French nation, and can attract you to France from all over the world!

As long as you come to France, the rest will be easy!

When you come to France:

Do you want to stay?

Do you want to eat?

Do you want to take a car?

Do you want to shop?

Do you want to have fun?

The answer is yes!

Right?

Isn't that all there is to it?

As long as you come to my France, I am not afraid that you will not spend money; And, it's impossible for you not to spend money!

Coupled with the high quality of my service in France, I believe that you will not only spend money, but also spend a lot of money like running water!

This is the outstanding aspect of the French government, including many Western countries, that is superior to many of our local governments and many tourist attraction management agencies in China!

You see many tourist attractions in our China, to buy a ticket, you have to pay 100 yuan, 200 yuan, 300 yuan!

I remember that there was a media report that there was a famous mountain in China, and the tickets for all the attractions on the mountain added up, and they cost a total of 1,700 yuan!

And what about the level and quality of service at these attractions? But it's unflattering!

As we all know, many scenic spots in China are full of garbage piles and smelly smells!

In addition, there are many tourist guides or scenic spots, and there are often vicious incidents of forced shopping or deception to shop!

Especially during the long holiday, the prices of food and commodities in many scenic spots in China have skyrocketed uncontrollably.

Rip-offs and bullying incidents also happen frequently!

In some scenic spots, there will even be traffic jams, vehicles stopped, tourists stranded, forcing tens of thousands of tourists to walk more than ten kilometers, full of stinky sweat down the extreme phenomenon!

If we compare it with the practice of French tourist attractions, the practice of many scenic spots in China that only cares about making money for themselves and only makes money in the immediate future, and never considers the interests of the region, the interests of the country, and the long-term interests is too selfish, too short-sighted, and too petty!
