Chapter 483: Dead Leaves Fall
After lunch, we took a short walk along the Seine before taking the metro. This Parisian icon, Snow Fall and Winter Beauty, is finally coming to a close-up and personal encounter with her towards the end of her trip. The best place to see it should be the Summer Palace, but the snow falls and the winter sunny beauty subway has been stopped, so let's make do with it.
Anyway, it's good to look at from any angle. Today's planned attractions are basically completed, the only regret is that I didn't have a cup of coffee on the Left Bank, spend a lazy afternoon, and leave some regrets next time. The carousel heads in France are particularly beautiful, and they are all double-layered.
Xueluo and Dongqingmei saw this kind of merry-go-round all the way from Nice, but Xueluo just endured it and didn't do it, because, Xueluo had to do it next to it, hahahaha. Say goodbye to Paris on the last day of spring in Paris, the afternoon flight. In the morning, I went to help someone buy and replenish the stock. In fact, the snow that is insensitive to luxury will never waste this time in the future.
That's a lot of places to play. It's still relatively early to the airport, and I bought it all at the airport. . . There are also a variety of Parisian specialties as souvenirs. And then there are activities in the perfume and everything, which is particularly cost-effective. Bought a big bag of stuff and was finally satisfied and ready to go to the gate to standby.
When Xueluo and Dongqingmei were waiting to board the plane, the salesperson of the duty-free shop came to look for Xueluo and Dongqingmei, it turned out that Xueluo and Dongqingmei bought something, and she forgot to help Xueluo put it in a bag, and immediately rushed to return the things to Xueluo, which was really touching. ~This is the end of this two-week tour of France......
Left a lot of regrets, the original plan of several attractions did not go to the end, destined to have a next time, but when will this next time be? D15 unexpected harvest of a trip to Dubai is still the same as when it came, snow and winter beauty in Dubai, but just encountered a typhoon in Beijing, the plane could not take off, the airline arranged a day off in the hotel.
Wait for the typhoon to pass before flying. This time it was really earned, which is equivalent to sending a trip to Dubai. Xueluo originally wanted to sign up for a day trip group at the hotel, and it was good to take a look. But this desert city is so hot that I don't dare to go out during the day. Xueluo and Dongqingmei can only eat and drink at the hotel, and then go out in the evening.
I visited TheDubaiMall, saw the Burj Khalifa, and took the subway to see the style of the Burj Al Arab, but to the disappointment of the snow and the beauty of the winter, the night in Dubai was pitch black, not at all the scene of the brightly lit metropolis in the imagination, what Burj Khalifa, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, all dark and unclear......
I didn't see the sight of luxury cars everywhere. It was a not-so-successful trip, and due to a lack of prior consideration, there were many situations and the itinerary was repeatedly changed, leaving a lot of regrets. But isn't that what travel is all about, and it's the circumstances that happen that make your trip more memorable. Unfortunately, it is a foreshadowing for another visit......
This should also be regarded as a relatively successful trip, allowing Xueluo to bravely take the first step in a family trip. When choosing France, Xueluo didn't consider any parent-child travel factors, just because she wanted to go, and then Xueluo didn't want to leave her daughter. Wherever the snow falls, you have to take her with you.
This is undoubtedly a self-inflicted trip, relying on hugs all the way, without a cart, and not letting anyone else hug ...... It's really going to be tiring...... But as Dong Qingmei entered the state day by day, she stopped crying and began to interact with other people...... When she sees a street performer, she will also move to the rhythm of the music, and she can actually keep up with the rhythm.
Don't forget to applaud ~ All this makes Xueluo feel that it is worth it no matter how hard and tired it is~ The world is not a reluctance, the world is a distance of thousands of miles, so that you can return to the depths of your heart and let Xueluo and Dong Qingmei hold small hands, and continue to set off together with their feet to measure the world with the baby TIPS1 and cart. A stroller is mandatory. What I regret the most this time is not bringing a cart.
Because she felt that if she refused to sit with a cart and had luggage to take, there would be a man on this trip, and they also had a lot of luggage, so they didn't bring a cart for fear of being cumbersome. But in fact, this kind of difficult situation will only occur for a while, that is, when you go to the train station to rush to the next destination.
In the first three days of arriving at the destination, the itinerary should be arranged as easily as possible, and the baby needs to reverse jet lag. Xueluo and Dong Qingmei were in a very bad state for the first three days this time, and they were very sleepy all the time, and then they couldn't sleep again, so they cried and made a fuss...... So the trip has been cut back a lot. The originally planned trip to the Pine Cone Train.
This is the actual itinerary of the snowfall and the beautiful winter sunshine, and the pace is very slow, many of the places that were originally planned to be visited in one day have been divided into two days, and many places have been abandoned. This is a relatively failed trip, the first time to take the baby out, no experience, completely did not take into account the baby's various unstable factors, just according to their usual high-intensity travel mode in the arrangement.
And in the end, there was one less person when they traveled, and everyone's pressure was much greater. Tip: Important: It's best to get an international credit card with a chip. There are self-service ticket machines right next to French bus stations, but only chip cards are accepted. Xueluo and Dong Qingmei's cards are not chips, and it is quite difficult to change change.
In the end, I went to the supermarket and bought something to break the money. Later, I found out that the driver on the bus can find you money, and will also make invoices, I don't know if all cars are like this. Prepare your ticket before departure: on Emirates, a little more than 6500 round-trip. Accommodation: all booked on booking.
At that time, visas, strategies and various bookings were all done by one person, and I had to take care of the children, and I had to get these, I really didn't have the time and energy, they were all done on the iPad, so I didn't have the heart to see a lot, so I booked it casually. Visa: Now the visa is really fast and very tolerant.
Just prepare the documents one by one. It's that the baby's visa is more troublesome, first to do the birth notarization, and then the foreign affairs certification. It takes about a week for notarization and foreign affairs certification, so when making an appointment for a visa, you must calculate the time, or you can get these things done before applying for a visa.
Train ticket: I forgot about this matter for a while, and I was in a hurry to make a decision a week before departure, and my thinking at that time was particularly chaotic. I booked a five-day pass for any one month in a month, and compared the price of Ctrip with another website (I forgot the name of the website) and found that Ctrip was cheaper, so I quickly booked it......
It turned out that the later reservation fee and ticket fee were much more expensive, because of the pass, if you take the high-speed rail, you need to make another reservation, Ctrip's reservation fee is very expensive, and it varies according to the time and distance. Going to a place for the first time, all the unpleasantness is probably diluted by surprise and curiosity.
When you go again, love and hate are so clear. There are mixed emotions about Paris, countless movies have been shot here, telling different stories, too many people are discussing the romance and danger of Paris, and I still can't help but think about my French classes at university, and I still have to say hello after three years, thank you, Xueluo's name is Jenny.
Xueluo loves the comfort of strolling along the Seine, the sweet and greasy food, and the romance in the back streets and alleys. But Xueluo hates the black brother who forces him to pick up his luggage and ask for tips at the gate of the train station, hates the arrogant restaurant waiter, and hates that he can't understand this beautiful language...... It is recommended to watch three old movies before you go.
The Left Bank of Paris is the part south of the Seine, it is a magical existence, and the word "Left Bank" alone makes people think about it, for example, is there a café called the Left Bank of Paris in your city, hahahahahaha. The Left Bank of Paris has a long history and is the quintessence of Parisian culture, and it is full of art.
You might be sipping coffee in the chair where Hemingway sat or gazing at the passing crowds on the street on Picasso's daze windowsill...... It's hot in Paris at the beginning of July, and getting out and about when the sun is about to set is the most enjoyable part of the day. On the second visit, a family of three lived on the Left Bank, strolling through the streets and walking past cafés in the snowfall and winter sunshine.
Walk through the small park, along the path that Jesse and Serena have walked (the protagonist of love at dusk and sunset), when the sun is less dazzling and the most tender companion. Notre Dame CathedralThe sunset at Notre Dame Cathedral is really a wonderful time, and everything in the world has an aura. It's like walking into a movie lens. Bask in the early morning sun,.
On the streets of Paris, the casual turn back is a blockbuster. Hahahahaha One of the landmark buildings. From as long as I can remember, from stationery to cafes... Patterns can be seen everywhere. Originally, I was quite bored, but when I saw it in Paris, I still stood on my tiptoes excitedly. During the European Championships, the host country France was also ingenious.
(The second one is a drop of snow falling dad, hahahahaha.) When it comes to the match between France and Germany, the street restaurants are full of people. At the entrance ceremony, everyone sang the national anthem along with the TV, and goosebumps came one after another. The vibe is not too good. Although Xueluo is like the German male model team. We recommend two locations that you have personally experienced.
As shown in Fig. I feel that Xia You Palace is more suitable for taking photos with the Iron Tower, with various concave shapes, beautiful. Now seeing such a light lunch, I really feel sorry for Xueluo's parents, who were losing weight at that time, and involuntarily ordered a table of vegetarian dishes == Seine Seine Seine River Intoxicated on the banks of the Seine, this is Xueluo's eternal attachment to Paris.
The famous Shakespeare bookstore. It's so sweet and greasy, three pounds fat. Back streets and alleys on the left bank. Notre Dame Cathedral Easter and BFF came to Paris for the first time, stayed in Ibis, and chose Airbnb for the second family trip, the price of the fullrehouse is also much lower than the two hotel rooms, and the experience of the homestay is more down-to-earth. Buy fresh ingredients at the supermarket and cook at home.
It's like having a home in Paris. Simply talking about living in an Airbnb: a quiet street on the Left Bank, a small high-rise building with 5 floors, a spiral staircase. I didn't meet the landlord the whole time, the placket was known by email that day, and the key was hidden under the carpet >. < whole process is like a low-profile puzzle game. This house is a duplex structure, which is not very large, but it has all kinds of organs.
The Right Bank of Paris – a grand cultural symbol The right bank of Paris is home to the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées and other grand cultural symbols. The Champs-Élysées Arc de Triomphe Champs-Élysées has a jaw-dropping number of luxury cars, but Bugatti side by side on the street is still rare.
At that time, Europe was not very peaceful, and there were many soldiers on the streets. The girl's crisp breasts, I personally think that it is better to go to the Champs-Elysées to wait in a long queue at the airport, anyway, they are all chain stores, and they are not the only ones. Although the grandmother of the Tuileries Garden did not walk with the wind, she brought with her an army of pigeons.
This is the eldest brother I met at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and he has a wonderful life experience - he used to be a teacher at the university's school of management, then went to sea to do business for a few years, and recently returned from Taiwan to study tea art. On the way to take the RER line together, the eldest brother shared some travel advice in Paris with Xueluo and Dong Qingmei, and emailed a few screenshots of his PPT.
(He left Taiwan to give a talk on a related topic.) After learning that Xueluo and BFF were studying in the UK, he, who had been an engineer of the soul, asked Xueluo and Dong Qingmei to seriously think about the meaning of studying abroad and their plans after graduation :) attached is a screenshot of the big brother's PPT: a café suitable for different groups of people is provided, must-visit attractions are introduced, and dangerous areas are marked.
It's a traditional French restaurant, one Michelin star, called Chef Jenny. Just look at the name to know why you came to eat, hahahahaha. Looking at the full series#The taste is still very good. Dessert on the left: grilled pineapple and vanilla ice cream, appetizer on the right: toast with foie gras and pickled fruit. The Pompidou National Center for Arts and Culture was a popular lightning puff on Instagram during that time.
The bottom of the mouth is full of cream. Everyone knows that the Pont des Arts on the Seine is full of locks, but now such operations are no longer allowed for safety reasons, and some of the locks have been moved to the shore == Snow Fall is a lock hung on the bank, and there are small vendors, and markers are prepared. The weather in Paris at Easter was not good, and it was gloomy and said that the wind was rain.
Luckily, you can always enjoy a romantic moment at the corner café - the rain is drizzling and more compatible, full of French style. The Basilica of the Sacré-Coeur, located on the heights of Montmartre, overlooks the whole of Paris. Love the wall, take pictures on the love wall, you must be fast and accurate. Montmartre Heights French Cinema Angel Loves Beautiful Café. The theater festival is full of big posters, first of all, it is still verbose.
This refers to a large region on the southeast coast of France, which is not a city, but the full name is Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Major cities include, Nice, Cannes, Marseille, etc. In addition, broadly speaking, it also includes the independent Principality of Monaco. Monaco is the second smallest country in the world after the Vatican.
Not Morocco Ha of North Africa. The Broken Bridge is a small city, although there are not many attractions, it is this Broken Bridge that attracts you when you hear the name (the angle of this photo is not good, you should go to the other side of the river to take it). For this name, Xueluo has made up a lot of romantic and sad storylines, similar to the Soul Broken Blue Bridge, Covered Bridge Dream and the like, hahahahaha.
