I walked around the Arc de Triomphe and took photos from all angles, and then said to me: "Well, the relief is indeed the same as the ones everyone is looking for." I was shocked... In a coffee near the Arc de Triomphe
We went to the restaurant and had a French breakfast together, croissant + hot cocoa + orange juice.
Although I had already eaten 2 apples in the morning and nibbled on a small piece of dry bread, I still felt that I was only half full (ok... I admit that I ate a lot...) The cat's sense of directionlessness is producing coffee.
The back of the museum was revealed again.
We walked half a circle around the Arc de Triomphe, and with the help of a map and compass (on an iPhone, but I didn’t dare to turn on the GPS while roaming internationally), we finally found the right direction to the Champs Elysées.
At that time, the cat said: "Anyway, it's a certain street facing the Arc de Triomphe. If it doesn't work, we can always find it if we go around." Well, now I'm surprised... Champs Elysees is indeed a place for shopping, luxury goods.
There are big stores one after another, but I am a person who has no interest in shopping... I just come here to take a look and go through the motions.
I only went to a clothing store and a cosmetics store with my cat, but they were not cheap (I don’t know the general prices, so I can’t compare).
Moreover, it is a weekend here in winter, so it is a little deserted.
Walking along Champs Elysees, I accidentally saw a small shop on the street. There was a little angel's wrought iron on the roof, which was a bit unique. However, the shop door was closed and I didn't go up to take a look.
After that, I accidentally saw a bridge leading to a bridge full of golden statues. The cat told me to go and see it if I wanted to, so I accidentally went to the Hotel des Invalides/Musee d'armee.
.
This bridge is located over the Seine River, and the Eiffel Tower can be seen in the distance from here.
But at this time, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, making it a little blurry to see.
I said to the cat: "There are so many green nests in the pruned bushes outside the courtyard of the Invalides." The cat was stunned, looked at it and said, "It does look a bit like it." After turning around, I still like it the best.
That awesome cannon, haha.
Then, we took a detour back to the Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel). The best way to go is to go to Eiffel first and then to Les Invalides.
But this time I followed me, and I found the right direction o(∩_∩)o Haha The seats at the roadside cafe were empty, perhaps because of the snow.
The gray weather, the cold iron tower, the crows on the dead branches, somehow made me think of "the dead crows on the dead vines and old trees, and the heartbroken people at the end of the world."
The cat said that Paris in winter is the real Paris. It is not as romantic as people imagine, but more cold.
I took a very touching photo of the cat here. Of course, I keep it for my own collection, so I won’t post it here. Wow.
Cat helped me figure out the price and bought some small iron tower keychains as souvenirs.
I remember it was 5 euros for 8 pieces, but later I heard from other high school classmates in Paris that those who know the price can get 4-5 pieces for 1 euro, or even more. If anyone comes here and wants to buy something, remember to do it.
Price~ Haha Cat and I had lunch at the restaurant in front of the Eiffel subway station, but the steak she ordered was so old that she couldn’t cut it and was so sweaty... After the meal, we took the subway directly to Paris.
Notre Dame, of course, was a fare evader.
There is a very dedicated cosplayer at the door, wearing a pharaoh costume, motionless in the wind and snow.
I, who am not afraid of the cold, took my cat who was very afraid of the cold for a walk by the Seine. Is this considered eating?
Maybe.
Cat coldly wrapped his head in a scarf, then turned around and asked me: "Do you look like an egg seller?" Haha, no, you are still beautiful like this.
But I didn’t say anything, I just smiled stupidly, and took the cat’s cold hand to warm it like I did in middle school.
At that time, the cat always said that my hands were like a small heater, always so warm in winter.
We walked slowly along the Seine River. Maybe it was because it was too cold, so there were only two of us along the way.
Oh, by the way, there are also some water birds (water birds, birds by the water, let’s just understand it this way. I think they look like seagulls, but I’m not sure) for company.
We passed by the Musee D'orsa (the reason why we were so impressed by this place was because our teacher in French class told us that it was an art museum transformed from a former station, but we left without ever going in) and walked through
Pont Neuf (Neuf pont) and walk all the way to the outside of the Louvre (Musee du Louvre).
Passing here is the world-famous Louvre Museum.
However, since it was getting late, I did not go in. I planned to take another day to ponder the civilization contained here before leaving.
Go through here and arrive at the subway station.
It was still early and the weather was too cold, so we decided to go have a cup of coffee.
By the way, let me tell you a little secret about the pick-up game I played with the cat.
Me: "Tutu (cats like to call me Tutu) chats up Cat. Cat, Tutu invites you to drink coffee." Cat: "No." Me: "Oh..." Cat: "Rabbit invites me to drink coffee.
Bar.
