Section 889: The flowing river of history

This is a suburban route, and you have to buy tickets separately. It is a bit similar to Beijing's light rail line 5, line 13, etc. The car is quite comfortable, but it is still on both upper and lower floors.

After getting off the car and walking a few steps, you can find Versailles Palace by following the crowd. From a distance, you can catch An Chuyu and An Qingju Lei.

Chinese and foreign tourists grew up in the exposed square, and everyone was so thrust by the scorching sun that they couldn't open their eyes and had nowhere to escape. An Chuyu and An Qingju walked up to ask a security guard where there was an umpass passage and received a tragic reply. "It's the same, we have to queue up."

At first I thought the security guard didn't understand, so another security guard asked, sure enough, the Palace of Versailles does not give any preferential entrances to the museum pass. I heard that visiting the Palace of Versailles costs money, but entering the garden is as expensive as Fontainebleau, so let's go to the garden to take a look. What's the result?

There was also queue at the entrance of the garden. It turned out that when there was a "special exhibition" in the garden, there was a separate charge. It can be said that not only An Chuyu and An Qingju, but all tourists looked around helplessly. Seeing several Chinese people hiding in the porch of a building, An Chuyu and An Qingju stepped forward to ask if they were here to play on their own.

These people who came from Baoding said that the tour guide was "very wise". They brought them in less than eight o'clock and walked around the garden. When the door opened, they entered the first visit. Several Chinese people comforted each other and An Qingju. "I've come here, let's queue up, it's a pity not to go in.

An Chuyu and An Qingju looked at it and went in within an hour and a half." An Chuyu and An Qingju were speechless for a while. Thanked them, turned back and took the train back to the city.

Summary. Compared with Paris, the Palace of Versailles is roughly equivalent to the Summer Palace and the Capital. It is a popular tourist attraction in the suburbs. You must be mentally prepared to visit during the peak tourist season. At this time, An Chuyu and An Qingju, after experiencing the streets of the Louvre and Paris, they already knew that "Ancestral, An Chuyu will come back." So leave this small regret to make up for it next time.

After returning to the city after visiting Versailles, the two of them sneaked into the Invalides. They didn't make any good plans before. They thought the Invalides were just to see Napoleon's coffin. Unexpectedly, it was quite large, with more than one museum in it at the same time - they made full use of a museum pass. They actually sent it directly to the Invalides on that day.

There is no place to rest in the Invalides. There is no plant, and there are stone buildings everywhere. However, there is a large lawn outside the Invalides. On the road beside the lawn, there are just a few tourist bus stops. Many young tourists are like An Chuyu and An Qingju, waiting for the tourist bus while waiting for the tourist bus.

After spreading the food, just clean it up in the warm sunshine, and you won’t feel the back is on your body! ——It’s also on your body, why don’t you feel the pinch?

The former of the House of Invalides was the "nursing home" for disabled soldiers ordered by Louis XIV. Entering the north gate is the courtyard of honor, which is a rectangular square surrounded by two-story buildings. The buildings on both sides are the French military museums, the ancient museums of weapons and armor to the west, the modern museums of Louis XIV to Napoleon III to the east, and the World War Museum to the south.

This military museum is also divided into many sub-exhibition pavilions; by the way, there is also a very special map model sand table museum, which exhibits military fortress sand tables made in previous combat. The Invalides provides audio guides. Rent a 6 euro. All the Invalides pavilions have introductions and versions. They are made with ipods, which is very good.

It is important to note that if the visit is long, don’t forget to check whether the power is sufficient when receiving the tour guide. Let’s talk about the church with Napoleon’s coffin. The dome church is very eye-catching, and you can see its golden dome from afar, hence the name.

In the past, it was indeed a church. Later, during France, it was renamed as the "Temple of War". The "national hero" in the hearts of the French, the coffin of the Revolutionary Marshal, was placed here for people to admire. Here are the French Grand Marshal Viscount Durenny, and there is also a named Vaubon.

For foreigners, these people are not very familiar with them. The one they are most familiar with is Napoleon's coffin placed in the center of the church.

We won't talk about Napoleon's merits and demerits here, and I don't know how to imagine it. After Napoleon was defeated by Waterloo, he was exiled to the Atlantic Island of St. Helena and died there. 19 years later, when Louis Philippe of the July Dynasty of France was in power, in order to win the hearts of the people, he sent warships to Saint Helena to pick up Napoleon's remains.

According to the audio guide, after discussion, the government thought it would be best to place his coffin in the dome church of the Invalides with other "national heroes". So people rebuilt the church and sank the ground of the church to create a circular hall for the coffin. The circle of the circular hall was placed with white marble reliefs praising Napoleon's life's great cause.

It is said that on the day when the coffin was welcomed, the people of Paris all came out. In the cold, countless people braved the wind and snow, escorted the coffin through the Arc de Triomphe that he had not seen during his lifetime, and headed to the House of Invalides on the banks of the Seine. He got what he wanted because he had a will.

"An Chuhui's body, An Chuhui, lay on the banks of the Seine, among the French people whom An Chuhui loved so much."

While visiting the Dome Church and Napoleon's coffin, I saw a team of veterans visiting here. I didn't know what kind of military they were in the costumes, nor did I understand what they explained in French. However, An Chuyu thought that such a scene should be often seen here.

The sand table museum is black, but those sand tables are really realistic! Since the purpose of these sand tables is to prepare for war, the contents of the sand tables are mainly fortresses or military fortresses. There is also the famous Yves Fort.

When I came out of the Invalides, I saw the bridge with four golden pillars in the Grand Exhibition Hall, which was very eye-catching.

I have talked about many routes to go shopping in Paris, and An Chuyu and An Qingju have almost stepped on them. The route I am talking about today is probably a must-see route for tourists, which is equivalent to the "* Square-Wangfujing-Jingshan-Houhai" line in the capital.

Repeat the route. Departure the Arc de Triomphe. Walk along the Champs-Elysees while looking at the tall shops on both sides. Then go to Plaza de Concorde and follow the north wall of the Louvre. Go north to Plaza de Vandome and see the luxurious hotels around you. The magnificent Paris Opera House? Go to Galeries Lafayette and Spring Department Store.

I took the subway to the Arc de Triomphe. As soon as I came out, my head was covered with dark clouds and the heavy rain was shaking.

Although it was almost raining, the Arc de Triomphe was full of tourists like the * square. An Chuyu and An Qingju found a Northeast uncle in a hurry to take a group photo of An Chuyu and An Qingju. I thought I would have better shooting skills and would be able to take pictures, so I should buy a selfie artifact online to bring it.

There are Arc de Triomphe in Europe. I heard that there are more than 1oo (human cognition is very close), but this one is well-marketed, and it is the most famous, and it is also the largest. Please explain the sculptures, meanings, etc. on it.

Nowadays, the Arc de Triomphe can be regarded as the largest "island sculpture" in Paris. It is surrounded by twelve radiated streets. All the cars are wandering around this island, which is spectacular and tests the driver.

The museum pass includes the Arc de Triomphe to the top, so don't miss it, it's worth seeing. However, the spiral ladder to reach the top is very narrow, and the nose will touch the heel in front of you when you go upstairs. Be careful not to step on someone else's hoodie hood.

When we reached the top, rain as heavy as noodles began to rain outside. Fortunately, An Chuyu and An Qingju had a sunscreen jacket and umbrella to prevent light rain, otherwise they would not be able to stand out and watch after reaching the top.

Having an umbrella and a coat still makes An Chuyu and An Qingju so badly. The summer rain in France comes as soon as possible, and we also remind tourists to bring rain gear with them when they go to France. An Chuyu and An Qingju struggled to identify the Eiffel Tower (this is easy to identify) and the Champs-Elysees (this really depends on the map to guide this).

The plan for Paris is really good. Standing on the Arc de Triomphe, Paris can be seen at a glance. Except for the Eiffel Tower and the "Montparnasse Building" next to the apartment where An Chuyu and An Qingju live, the other buildings are about the same height.

An Chuyu has seen a very good French cartoon called "The Cat in Paris". In the film, Nick, the thief, always runs around the roof of the long apartment building in Paris. An Chuyu and An Qingju look down on these roofs in person, and think running around on the roof of the apartment building is also considered a Parisian-style romance.

After coming down from the Arc de Triomphe, Paris changed its face again. It was clear! This was good, and it was convenient for An Chuyu and An Qingju to continue walking. So An Chuyu and An Qingju found the Champs Elysees and walked along it. After walking for only a hundred meters, the sky was already blue and there were immediately white clouds. This is a typical photo of the Champs Elysees.

There are countless famous stores on this street, and there are countless tourists like An Chuyu and An Qingju on the roadside; some are buying large and small bags crazily, and some are watching and chatting while empty-handed.

But there are those tourists who like to do it - not all Chinese here, but everywhere in the world - who have to rush to the middle of the road, put on exaggerated poop and let their companions take photos, and then cross three lanes and run back.

An Chuyu didn’t know if such people were driving on similar streets and met others like this. Anyway, An Chuyu drove to see such people and gave them a middle finger. In fact, just strolling on the roadside, if you have money, you go to famous stores and go shopping. If you don’t have money, you won’t be good to windowping all of a sudden?

You don’t have to worry about having nothing to eat or you don’t have to care too much about whether you want to eat French. There are all kinds of tourists, and there are many small stalls on the street. The most common one is the small stall selling crepe (called "crepes"). The stalls are as big as our newsstand, and you will see one every few hundred meters. (To be continued)
