Get ready for a respect. The name of the Champs Elysé es is as familiar as Wangfujing in Beijing. The Champs Elysé es is located in the eighth district in the northwest of Paris. It is known as the most beautiful street in Paris, and of course it is also famous in the world. On the morning of November 9, 29, we drove there, which was the last stop of our visit to France.
The Champs Elysé es in November is still attractive. We enjoy the scenery of this famous street by walking at a brisk pace. If induction is used to record the characteristics of this street, first of all, I think there are famous buildings at its starting point and end point. It started in Place de la Concorde and ended in the Arc de Triomphe.
The Place de la Concorde, which started in 1757, was named "Louis XV Square" in 1763, and was renamed "Revolution Square" during the Great Revolution. It was renamed "Place de la Concorde" in 1795, and finally formed its present scale in 184.
In the center of the square stands an Egyptian obelisk with a height of 23 meters and a history of more than 3,4 years. The ancient characters on the obelisk record the deeds of Pharaoh Ramses II. Eight statues were placed around the square, symbolizing eight cities that played an important role in French history, namely Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rouen, Brest, Lille and Strasbourg.
The Arc de Triomphe at the terminal is located in the center of Charles de Gaulle Square. It was built by Napoleon in 186 to commemorate the victory of defeating the Russian-Austrian Coalition forces in 185. After Napoleon was overthrown, the Arc de Triomphe project stopped halfway, and the Bourbon dynasty resumed work after being overthrown, and it was not completed until 1836.
The Arc de Triomphe is 49.54m high, 44.82m wide and 22.21m thick, and the central arch is 36.6m high and 14.6m wide. On the wall of stone piers on both sides of the Arc de Triomphe, there are four groups of large-scale reliefs with the theme of war: "going out", "victory", "peace" and "resistance".
The Champs Elysé es in France still welcomes tourists from all over the world with tens of millions of people every year, while the Champs Elysé es in that community only sees a few cold figures except people's reprimands.
The original meaning of the Champs Elysé es is the place where saints and heroes live. I hope our souls are as beautiful as the Champs Elysé es!
