1. Notre Dame de Paris - Some people say the best from the North Portal entered, a door will be able to let you see the magnificent display of three roses painted windows, was really surprised. I went before heard of, you may wish to give it a try. Napoleon in 1804 to the throne, but did not seem to stay with’s Memorial. South Pylon building a “Notre Dame de Paris”, the well-known large bell, I have read the book before Hugo here feel very cordial.

2. Sacred Heart Church - best to go on Sunday, you can catch up with the mass market, where the nuns wear white-glasses. Do not forget to climb up a good look at the Dome of Paris.


3. Arc De Triomphe - Street (including the Arc de Triomphe) - French-Street is actually very “soil” is the meaning of the field. But of the two kilometer-long street today is the world’s most Yang Qi one of the streets. Night-time arrangements must field, under the lights slowly Duobu more Qingzhi. In other weekend prime time to squeeze McDonald’s, ranked Battalion had to wash their hands. Here I would also like to remind those friends to Paris, to the attention of millions of Hong Street, the other in order to Nengzhuan 1,000 francs on others to buy passports can be bought with “Louise Weidong” bag (although they pay first and only Used by you and your passport), and other uncertainties or less as a matter of the Miao.

4. Louvre - must Beizu time, I went to nearly a day and eventually did not turn. , The world’s biggest museums will be alleged to have each new discovery. Mentally prepared to do a good job, with the largest classical devout fully appreciate the beauty of it. Mona Lisa will not be so if you Xiang Xiang, but absolutely first class. Unger, Bo Tiqie, Michelangelo, Xi Like, Rubens, Rafael, Courbet, Delacroix, Keluo things and there is absolutely Yes, there are too many treasures are also listed Buwan, do not forget to look at the focus of Rembrandt, his drawings (copper engraving) is a refined.

5. Pompidou - the best in the next day immediately after reading the Louvre to see the Pompidou. The former is a “god”, the latter is a human or non-human, you will immediately be understood. Upstairs a modern painting is really brilliant, Xia Jiaer, Rousseau, Picasso, Kandinsky MAX ENRST, Miro, Klee and other people’s works are worth a good stop, but below a layer of contemporary artists the things I do not Dare to compliment, and occasionally in a previous TV station, a man immediately said: I am a man, you are a woman, we are human beings. I work, you work, we work. I like to make love, you like to make love, we love to go back again…… these people are still kept “times New Roman”, but already faces a lot of heinous, Speed is also accelerating. I see this point of the newly injected into the bright classical artist to a lot of wastage.

6. ORSAY Museum - the museum’s rich totally beyond my imagination, it is from the Louvre and the Pompidou to the excessive, you have to appreciate a good time to prepare carefully impressionist and post-impressionist works. The best upstairs, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rousseau, Cezanne, Degas, Renoir, Manet, Monet wonderful way. Angell is the downstairs “-chuen,” Miller’s “Mu Yangnv”, “Wan Dao” and “Shisui” Courbet and the many major works, so I stopped most of the upper floors of Van Gogh and Monet. The former is the vitality of the painting, the artist is almost his life into a burning color. The latter’s water lilies are people of the resources is huge impressionist, then even a single painting things so color abundance, a classical painter Monet’s perseverance. Then there was Sharon rejected by the orthodox art of Manet’s “lunch on the lawn,” is usually the most guests.

7. Eiffel - didn’t spend lots of time there, may be too many people, probably because of a fear of heights, Sheung Read on to see it will not work. Oh, that reminds me four beautiful wood “-as,” I in no way is here.

8. Hugo home - rain Grandpa lived for 16 houses, and the possession of his home, such as painting, good attention to Hugo’s writing desk, a small, very simple, but the corners of the table are carefully repair the system , Showing its elegance. He is also available in the Shuchu, although the long, but they are Naikan, there are his original handwriting, a very beautiful multicolored tile painting. But he too deep feelings with China, the Chinese are everywhere Baby, I almost thought that the home Zhuangjin Jia Zheng.

9. St. Paul Cathedral in St. Louis - baroque architectural masterpieces, there are Delacroix’s “Christ the Mount of Olives” (Daikao). The two used to test the shell is then living in the vicinity of the Victor Hugo gift, you can head in the next two points, James, master of the Ling Qi and Ding Li.

10. Picasso Gallery - a collection bovine elderly people (suspected to be his hometown of Bull-borne) of more than 200 works, is worth a good taste. You can see that the life of this master of the track, realism with the full realism, abstract and abstract dead, style changes, Xin Xu million, but another extension lead.

11. Luxembourg Park - have time to the fountains in the shade under Zuozuo, even read 12 books or travel, where the shade will let you completely forget that in busy, if lucky can catch up with a performance I hit the day a group of children singing rock and roll, a little boy Bizhuo Yan white hands held high to the sky high, I see Xinzui. Incidentally can look at the outside dome holding 10,000 tons of celebrities Memorial PANTHEON. Wu Fang is not the lack of time, tickets is not cheap, and few things (I wonder if I did not find inside the ground floor entrance, is said to have things below).

12. La Madeleine church - like the Greek temple of the Christian cathedral, with its huge stone pillars and significant power. There’s only natural light from three small DOME, is a masterpiece of architectural history.

13. Pull-zi Cemetery - I have not been, but heard Chopin, Molly mourning, and so there Eduard Oscar habitat. I was thinking where Sartrehas been sleeping.

14. Latin - 700 years of French elite gathering of the life and history, the European elite schools situated in the Sorbonne University in the air and are constantly changing new thinking mixed with the smell of nicotine and coffee, where I Qunxun half a day, would like to Daddy was back in the romantic, he said: If you had the honour young man living in Paris, after the years that you no matter where to Paris, would have been with you, because Paris is a moving feast satisfy the (effect). I doubt he and his peers are in Paris to find the other cities did not smell, the city is the home of exile, which is here, starting composer Chopin, Picasso started painting, Joyce began writing ” Ulysses “……, look at the sitting of the Paris Bar you can Kaiqiao, Parisians like Paoba the extent far greater than the other, they are not taboo ground Street and sit in front of the people is Wuluketao , And that certainly look you in the review, a small mouth and a coffee or a smoke ring, you will be many Yanxia, then certainly come back to the other subjects “forces.” Was Daddy, Xia Jiaer, Modi, and other frequented several bars such as La Closerie, Des Lilas, La Rontonde, Le Select and Le Dome and so on row upon row, it is located in a good look at the carved downstairs Le Dome, Not far away is a bronze statue of Rodin’s Balzac, a Dome parked in the blue sky and white clouds refused to leave, look at the traffic used to look at the eyes of a very uncomfortable feeling it. Have time to get the best cup of coffee, I think, if fortunate enough to live in Xiaban Sheng Nazhuang upstairs, buried in this life on the possession of knives completely broken sword-xia not read Zoujiang Hu!

15. Of course, do not forget to see the magnificent Paris Opera (Opera) - do you read “Aobei Ha” Oh, that sounds noble French. Where the world’s largest stage, 1964 Xia Jiaer painting zenith, at first glance can look at people fainted, put the best first-aid medicine to live or you can shoulder the most powerful arm.

Like this for students who pull their own cooking, with kitchen, bathroom. What are the basic kitchen, microwave ovens, refrigerators, ovens, stoves, pots, is the oh-wide.
This self-stained apartment, many of the chamber, such as four individuals, one of two people, sharing the living room and kitchen.

B & B reference price :100-200 / double room ensuit
Is the bed and breakfast, hostel is actually widening, can live on the farms, it’s great. General can not cook, the owner for breakfast, but can request Dahuo,. He.

Hostel reference price: 40-80/double room
The largest in New Zealand have two, one is YHA youth hostels, you can set the on-line, double room with private free, public bathing places. The best is a very beautiful public kitchen.
Do not look at it is the youth hostels, some conditions are still very good, in the city centre, there are some free spa pool, a large parlor rest area.

Another is BBH, uneven quality and specifications as YHA reunification, like Bed and breakfast, some big, some small, the owner is the manager. But generally cheaper than the YHA, good luck, they may live to very warm room Oh, is not worse than the B & B.
