Eiffel Tower

One of the best ways to experience the romantic amorous feelings of Paris is to climb the Eiffel Tower when the sky is low, and the setting sun reflects the sunset glow, waiting for the night view of Paris with alternating stars, which is the quiet beauty of Paris. Built in 1886, the Eiffel Tower was built for the World Expo in 1889. At that time, the architect Eiffel once said: I want to build a magnificent building like the Arc de Triomphe for the glory of modern science and French industry! Therefore, from 1887 to 1931, before the completion of the Empire State Building in New York, it maintained its position as the tallest building in the world for 45 years, and it is still the most famous landmark in Paris, with iron tower souvenirs everywhere. The Eiffel Tower is 32 meters high. The most famous architectural design is the symmetrical steel bar design to prevent strong winds, which has both practical and aesthetic considerations. The Eiffel Tower is divided into three floors, and there are different charges depending on the destination floor of tourists. When you arrive at the second floor, look around the scenery of Paris. At this time, the height is not too high, and you can clearly identify the main landmarks. However, there are many tourists who want to continue to attack the top. It is best to join the queue waiting for the elevator first, and enjoy the scenery while waiting in line, which will not waste time. It is common to queue for 1 or 2 hours during the sightseeing season. After taking the express elevator to the top floor of 274 meters high, you can enjoy the scenery of Paris slowly, and you can see 72 kilometers away when you have a good view during the day. The best suggestion is to go at dusk, where you can enjoy different scenery during the day and at night at the same time, especially in the direction of the brightly lit Arc de Triomphe, which makes people unable to bear to move their eyes slightly. The tower was built in 1886 and completed two years later, with a height of 212.27 meters. Later, a TV antenna of 2 meters was added, making it the tallest building in Paris. To get close to the Eiffel Tower, according to the Paris subway map, you should get off at Champ De Mars Tour Eiffel.

But purely from the perspective of scenery, it is better to get off at Trocadero, because as soon as you get out of the subway station, you will find the Eiffel Tower on the other side of the Seine, and the ugliness of the tower will turn into beauty from a distance.

Introduction of French tourist attractions: Champs Elysé es

In the 17th century, since Le Nott, a French painter of Versailles Castle, asked people to plant a row of trees on the extension lines of the Louvre and the Tuileries Palace in 164, the Champs Elysé es was just a long promenade in the center of a region that had not yet been urbanized. Its present outline (before it was called the star of the "Chateau Palace") was formed in 1724, which extended the view of the Tuileries Garden. Half a century later, its western part extends to the Seine River through the current la Grande Armée street in Paris and Charles de Gaulle street in Neuilly, but not long after, the Fermiers Généraux wall redefined it as a star square. Since 1828, the Paris municipal government has renovated it and built the earliest sidewalk. In 1838, the architect Jacques Hittorff planned the Champs Elysé es (including street lamps that are still preserved today) (the garden was planned by Jean-Charles Alphand during the reign of Napoleon III).

In 1994, the Champs Elysé es was heavily invested (25 million francs) and began to be renovated. The main participants were Bernard Huet (urban planning expert), Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Norman Foster (road and public facilities designer).

Champs Elysé es is located in the eighth district of Paris, in the northwest of the city. It starts in Concorde Square, where there is an obelisk. The street extends from east to west for 1915m, the first half of which is relatively flat, and then it goes uphill to Charles de Gaulle Square (formerly known as Star Square, which is located at the top of the highland where Xiayo Palace is located). The Arc de Triomphe stands in the center of the square.

Her straight street allows us to see far away places: the Louvre and its pyramids, the small Arc de Triomphe, the Tuileries Garden, the obelisk, the Arc de Triomphe, and further west, outside Paris, the Grand Arch of Diogenes. This is the axis of history to the west of Paris.

Champs Elysé es is one of the main tourist attractions in Paris. The first half of the Champs Elysé es is surrounded by square

Marigny and some buildings (thé? tre

Marigny, palais de la

Découverte)。 At its height, there are many luxury shops and performance venues (cinemas, Lido, Champs Elysé es Theatre), as well as many famous cafes and restaurants (Fouquet's).

Notre Dame de Paris was founded in 1163, and it took 4 years to complete. It is a representative of Gothic church, with exquisite carving and exquisite craftsmanship, especially the reliefs on the three arches at the main entrance, with more than 1, figures, which are very detailed. The interior decoration of Notre Dame de Paris is rigorous and solemn, but the design of stained glass windows is the most attractive, some of which are long, round and rectangular, but one of them is the most round, with a diameter of nine meters, commonly known as "rose glass window".

French tourist attractions: The Arc de Triomphe

There is not only one Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but the most spectacular and famous one is the Arc de Triomphe in the center of Charles de Gaulle Square. On December 2, 185, Napoleon defeated the Austrian-Russian Coalition forces in the battle of Ostritz. On February 12 of the following year, Napoleon ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe to show off his military achievements. In August of the same year, ground was broken according to the design of the famous architect Xia Gelan. However, it was built intermittently in the middle, and it took a whole 3 years intermittently before the inauguration ceremony was held on July 29, 1836. The Arc de Triomphe is 48.8 meters high, 44.5 meters wide and 22 meters thick, and the central arch is 14.6 meters wide. There are doors around the Arc de Triomphe, which are engraved with the names of 286 generals who followed Napoleon's expedition, and the history of French wars from 1792 to 1815. Among them, the most famous one is the "1792 Volunteer Expedition" (also known as "Marcel's Song"), which is designed and sculpted by the famous sculptor Lu De.

The arch of the Arc de Triomphe can be climbed by elevator or stone stairs, which are ***273 steps. After going up, there is a small history museum at the first stop, which displays pictures introducing the architectural history of the Arc de Triomphe. In addition, there are two film screening rooms with explanations in English and French languages, which specially show some information films reflecting the historical changes of Paris. Going up again, you can reach the top platform of the Arc de Triomphe, from which you can have a bird's eye view of Paris. Just below the Arc de Triomphe is the tomb of the unknown soldier built on November 11, 192. The tomb is flat and the red epitaph is embedded on the ground: "Here are French soldiers who died for their country."

It is said that sleeping in the tomb is an unknown soldier who died in the First World War. He represents the 1.5 million French soldiers who died in the Great War. There is a ever-burning lamp in front of the tomb, and a ceremony to stir up the flames is held on time every night. Now, on July 14 every year, when France celebrates the National Day, the French President has to pass through the Arc de Triomphe. On the last day of the French president's resignation, he will come here to present a bunch of flowers to the tomb of the Unknown Fist. It is said that this Arc de Triomphe also has a strange place, that is, every evening on the anniversary of Napoleon's death, a sunset is just reflected in the arch door circle of the Arc de Triomphe when you look west from the Champs Elysé es.

After that, it was renovated for 4 years by architect Hitofer, and finally finalized in 184. The square is octagonal, and the Egyptian obelisk with a history of 3,3 years stands proudly in the center, which was presented to Charles V by the Governor of Egypt. The obelisk is 23 meters high and weighs 23 tons. The tower body is carved out of a whole piece of pink granite, which is engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphics. The main content is to praise the great achievements of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II. The base stone of the obelisk records the difficult process of transporting it here and setting it up.

There are eight statues around the square, which symbolize the eight major cities in France. There are also flower beds, fountains and parade platforms, which are now places for Parisians to rest and visit. In the northeast is the Opera House, a luxurious building built by Napoleon in the third period.

Through the uniform trees on both sides of the street, international first-line brand stores stand shoulder to shoulder, because the store doors are closed on rest days, which is both publicity and low-key. Sporadic cafes are open with open-air seats. The smell of coffee curled up, walking through the street like I was walking alone in the streets.
