Chapter 124: Who's Talking

Abel happily talked to Chen Xing about what she had encountered here before, and pointed to another chair not far away and said that it was her usual position.

Chen Xing listened quietly, and when she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "I really want to experience your life, but I seem to have a book missing from my hand." Abel also smiled and said, "Not only that, but a cup of coffee is missing." Both of them laughed, and then stopped talking, lying quietly on the bench to enjoy the lazy moment of the afternoon, although the tourists chatting loudly around them were very close to them, but Chen Xing always felt as if there was an invisible wall in the middle, there was a different kind of alienation.

Chen Xing liked this feeling a little, and gradually became a little sleepy. But it wasn't a good place to sleep, and Abel's story had just told her that she had lost a purse here, so he stood up and stretched, and said to Abel, who was also a little drowsy.

"Shall we keep walking?" Abel stood up, yawned as if he was infected by Chen Xing, nodded and said, "That's right, you can't sleep here, I don't have a second wallet to lose." "It's a small place in the middle of the city, but it's as peaceful as if it's been magical.

It is estimated that those who have insomnia will be able to sleep in such a place. But don't bring anything with you.

At the end of the west walk of Xiang Street is the Arc de Triomphe, which, as the name suggests, is a gate that welcomes the triumphant armies who go out to fight.

Chen Xing and Abel stood under the largest round arch in the world, and the huge arch reminded Chen Xing of Napoleon leading his army through this arch.

The long queue of soldiers proudly walked under the building built for their triumph, and the inhabitants of Paris, like the tourists of today, cheered for their heroes.

Everything in ancient times is truly intoxicating. Abel introduced Chen Xing in a crisp voice: "The Arc de Triomphe is actually more than this, the tradition of building the Arc de Triomphe in Europe has been around since ancient Roman times, and even in our France, there is more than this one, but the Arc de Triomphe here is the most familiar." Chen Xing nodded slightly, he had learned it in textbooks before, and knew that this triumphal arch was built to commemorate the victory of the Austerlitz War in the Third Anti-French Alliance.

With Napoleon's prestige at the time, this triumphal arch was not only built as the largest triumphal arch in the whole of Europe, but also the details were so elaborate that the process of building it was even more difficult than building a castle.

"Later, we built a circular square and 12 roads around the Arc de Triomphe, all radiating outward around the Arc de Triomphe. It looks clearest from the air, and it shines like a star, so we also call it the Star Square. ”

"Didi~" whistles came and went. Chen Xing glanced back at the traffic on the road behind him, and he didn't know whose car scraped whose car, anyway, there were two cars blocked here not far from them, and they were followed by countless vehicles, and they couldn't see the end at a glance.

Abel said in surprise: "There are often traffic jams here, and only here is the most serious traffic jam in Paris." "Two French men were arguing, and the cars behind them were getting more and more noisy.

Fortunately, with the help of others, they quickly realized their mistake and drove the car to a position that did not block the traffic, and those annoying noises gradually calmed down, but at this time Chen Xing had already walked directly under the Arc de Triomphe.

There is an elevator that leads to the top floor, and of course, there is also a spiral staircase, which Abel recommends Chen Xing to take up.

There are not many tourists queuing here, so Chen Xing thought about it for a while and decided to climb to the top to have a look. It's not that the few people in line attracted him, but Abel said that people under the age of 26 can visit for free, so since it's free, after arriving here, you must go up and have a look.

The people at the attraction looked at Chen Xing's passport and asked Chen Xing to line up to the side. Abel showed them his driver's license, lined up behind Chen Xing, and said to him, "Be careful, there are a lot of thieves here." She stood behind Chen Xing and also wanted to help him keep an eye on it, thieves in Paris usually don't steal French bags in person, so the probability of being caught is too great, and the police stations in Paris are not all vegetarians.

And if a tourist's wallet is stolen, it will be stolen, and the police will not go out of their way to find a small wallet for a foreign tourist.

Hearing this, Chen Xing looked at the people around him with a little vigilance. But until he got up the Arc de Triomphe, he still didn't see anyone like a thief, nor did he see anyone approaching him, but he heard a word on the way up the stairs Chinese...... My phone is gone!

It's a familiar sound. But soon Chen Xing forgot that none of the girls he had talked about a lot recently were in France.

All the way to the top floor of the Arc de Triomphe, which is relatively empty, there are not as many tourists as the circular square below, many people are touring, taking pictures and going down quickly, there are two or three people flying drones on it, and a group of people gather around to watch the small screen.

Chen Xing looked into the distance from the guardrail, a long street straight into the heart of Paris.

Compared to the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower, the observation deck is not high enough to see the whole of Paris like the first two, but it has the advantage of being able to see the bustling streets up close.

At night, the time-lapse shooting here should look good. The houses on both sides of the street are very beautiful, and the neon lights must be very beautiful at night, plus the time-lapse traffic light track, even if a person who doesn't know how to take pictures like this, it's not bad, put the circle of friends to cheat likes and comments on ten minutes.

Abel went to look at the drone for a while, and came back and said, "I didn't expect it to look good to shoot a drone here." Chen Xing looked at his surroundings and asked, "Do you have one?" Lend me two days to play? ”

"No ......" Abel shook his head, there was no opportunity to use drones before, what to buy this for?

However, she saw the appearance of other people flying drones, and she was really a little moved, and said: "When I make enough money to start traveling, I will buy one, and it is good to take a look at the local scenery of the trip from a high place, which feels very good." ”

"How much money have you saved now?" Chen Xing asked.

"It's less than 20,000 euros, but it's about the same, I'm going to start traveling when I save up to 25,000 euros, first to Italy, then to England, Ireland ......" Looking at the way her eyes lit up, Chen Xing was sure that she was lying when she said that she was going to travel to China before.

Abel is not a travel professional, and he does not rely on travel to eat, so ordinary people who want to travel to many countries do not know how many years it will take.

When she finishes traveling to the country she wants to go, she is estimated to be married, and she will not have time to go to Huaxia at that time.

It seems that the French are also good at talking, Chen Xing thought to himself. On their way back to the hotel, the two walked past the Place de la Concorde, which was actually the same place where they had left the subway before.

This oval-shaped square doesn't really have much of a character, just what a European square should look like.

In the middle of the square is an obelisk given to France by the Egyptians, with a fountain on each side, and in addition to a Ferris wheel, this Ferris wheel looks okay, there is no kind of paint that is scary to look at, but it is also featureless.

I don't know if it's too close to the Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es, and there are too many idle tourists, which makes the business of this Ferris wheel very hot.

"These three things are the most famous three treasures on the Place de la Concorde, many tourists have taken photos in the same frame as them, do you want to try it too?" Chen Xing had no reason to refuse, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

These three things look so ugly in the same frame! No matter what angle you shoot from, as long as you want to fit a fountain, an obelisk, or a Ferris wheel into a frame, there is no composition to speak of.

Not to mention adding a person to it, the effect of the picture is simply ...... Aside from announcing that you've clocked in Paris, there's nothing aesthetic at all.

But Chen Xing still filmed. He didn't say what he thought, and asked Abel to take a photo with his phone and post it on his phone.

Sometimes don't be so particular, if you can make a friend happy by giving a small step, then Chen Xing is willing to take a few more steps.

The talent of friendliness is very buggy, but it is not hypnosis, nor is it brainwashing, and it is still up to him to make friends.

Back downstairs in the apartment, Abel asked, "Do I need to come over tomorrow morning?" Chen Xing shook his head and said, "No need, you can contact me after having lunch at home, or can we have lunch together then?" ”

"No, I hope you'll have a few more French friends so I can have the best week of my life." Chen Xing has a verbal contract with her, and he will ask her to be a guide for five days starting today, for 100 euros a day.

Of course, this money must be paid in full, and one hundred will not be deducted just because Chen Xing has an appointment tomorrow morning. Back at the apartment, Chen Xing lay on the bed and counted his savings.

He changed it for 3,000 euros when he was at the airport, and today it costs 130 euros for renting a house, 100 euros for a tour guide, 79 euros for the Paris metro, 15 for lunch and snacks, and the money for the entrance fee.

It cost a total of 366 euros. I will go out for dinner in a while, and it is estimated that it will be 10 to 20 euros, so it seems that the daily consumption in Paris is 300-400 euros, which is about two or three thousand Chinese dollars.

"Hiss~" It's so expensive! When I spent money, I didn't think that it was all tens or hundreds, and now when I look back and count it into Huaxia coins, Chen Xing's head hurts a little.

He had expected this situation before, but he was still distressed when he really used so much money. After all, there is less money, this travel system, why not give me a little money every time I go to a new place?

Then you don't have to worry about anything, just travel every day, and you will definitely not be distracted to find a way to make money when traveling.

And it's hard to make money as a photographer, and it's slow to produce videos. Thinking of this, Chen Xing turned over and sat up from the bed, he couldn't go down anymore, he had to make a little more video.

Turning on the computer, he began to edit some of the works he had taken on the street today.
