Chapter 55 Incarnation of Napoleon the Great

On the first day of coming to Paris, he harvested a priceless watch, which made Yang Jing full of expectations for the next journey.

Including the 47,000 pounds spent last time buying a painting pot and Yudian inkstone at the Alfie Antique Market in London, plus the 92,300 pounds of buying a watch today and the antique bell flower, and then deducting the train ticket and staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in George V in Paris, Yang Jing's card still has more than 130,000 pounds.

This money is absolutely fine for Yang Jing’s next itinerary.

In fact, if I hadn't bought those two watches for my dad and mom, I wouldn't have spent so much money today.

I slept beautifully in the hotel and woke up naturally. Then Yang Jing went downstairs to check out and had something to eat. He found a bank, spent some money to rent a safe at that bank, and deposited the newly bought two Audemars Piguet Millennium watches and Patek Philippe World Time watches into the safe.

Like in China, the cost of renting safes in foreign banks is not much, just like the safe that Yang Jing rented, which is about the same size as a microwave oven, is only about 200 euros a year.

The next journey is still long. Yang Jing didn't want any problems with the Patek Philippe World watch I just bought. The safe deposited in the bank is the safest.

After leaving the bank, Yang Jing did not plan to visit the flea market in Paris again. His harvest yesterday had already made him feel satisfied.

Being contented is a concept that my grandfather instilled in Yang Jing since he was a child.

So Yang Jing immediately turned into an ordinary tourist, heading north along George V Street, about ten minutes to reach the famous Champs Elysees.

This street with a total length of 1,880 meters is worthy of being one of the three most famous streets in the world. It connects to Place de la Concorde in the east and Arc de Triomphe in the west, dividing the entire Paris into two parts: north and south.

This is the most beautiful street in France and even Europe, and it is also the most luxurious street. It brings together almost all luxury brands in the world, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Cartier, Givenchy... As long as you can get a luxury brand, you can find it on this street.

This is a paradise for women and a paradise for rich people!

As the most important street in Paris, the Champs-Elysées allow visitors to see far away places, such as the Louvre and the pyramids inside it, the small Arc de Triomphe, the garden of Duil, the obelisk, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Great Arch of Defence outside Paris further west to the west.

It is no exaggeration to say that this street is also the historical axis west of Paris.

The Champs-Elysées is also the venue for the French National Day parade on July 14 every year. On this day of the year, the highest French head of state will visit this street and jointly inspect the soldiers of the French Republic with millions of people.

As one of the most famous sports events in the world, the Tour de France uses the Champs-Elysées as the final stage of the race. On this street, racers who have experienced a complete Tour de France can enjoy the joy of riding on this street and enjoy the cheers of the fans.

This is the Champs Elysees!

The intersection of George V and the Champs Elysées is located in the middle of the Champs Elysées. Opposite the intersection, which is the north side of the Champs Elysées, is the famous Paris Lido Nightclub.

The Yan. Dance at the Paris Lido Nightclub is known as the world's number one. It is probably the only one in the world to be able to dance erotic dance into an artistic dance.

However, Yang Jing has no hobby for this kind of erotic dance, so he naturally doesn't want to go in and play in Lido Nightclub. Although Princess Diana and Mrs. Thatcher like to come here to enjoy the dance here, Yang Jing is really not interested in it.

Walk east along the Champs-Elysees from the intersection to the Plaza de Concorde. On the way, you can also take a look at the palaces of Paris. After arriving at Plaza de Concorde, you can also visit the Duil Gardens and the Louvre.

However, Yang Jing did not have the heart to go east. Although the name of Union Square is well-known, the thieves in that square made people even more distorted. To put it simply, there were even more thieves in Union Square than the Shengtuan flea market that Yang Jing once visited.

After all, there are more than 100,000 tourists just going to Union Square every day. In the eyes of those thieves, these tourists are all fat sheep!

Yang Jing didn't want to become a fat sheep himself, so he simply didn't go there.

Why do you go there? If you are stolen, you will feel uncomfortable and frustrated. When you see others being stolen, you can't be a hero or a hero. Those thieves are committed by gangs. If you dare to be a hero, you will definitely be the one who will be unlucky in the end.

So I simply don’t go, and I won’t see you or feel upset.

It’s a fun thing to come out by yourself, not a pain.

After making up his mind, Yang Jing walked west along the street.

The Arc de Triomphe was right in front of him. After less than twenty minutes, Yang Jing walked to this legendary building.

In fact, there are nine Arc de Triomphes in Paris, but the largest and most famous Arc de Triomphe is undoubtedly the Arc de Triomphe that stands in the center of Piazza de Charles de Gaulle.

In the early 18th century, Napoleon ordered the construction of this imposing Arc de Triomphe to commemorate the defeat of the Russian-Austrian coalition forces. However, when the arch, which was 49.54 meters high, 44.82 meters wide and 22.21 meters thick, was repaired, and it was discovered that this big guy had affected traffic. So in the middle of the 19th century, a circular square - Platz de Charles de Gaulle was built around the Arc de Triomphe, and 12 roads, each road was 40 to 80 meters wide, radiating, like the brilliant light emitted by stars. Therefore, Platz de Gaulle is also called the Star Square. Arc de Triomphe is also called the "Star Gate".

There are doors around the Arc de Triomphe. On the walls of the two door piers, there are four large reliefs with war-themed themes: "Deal", "Victory", "Peace" and "Resistance". The door of the Arc de Triomphe is engraved with the names of 386 generals who followed Napoleon's expedition and 96 victories. The door carved with the history of French wars from 1792 to 1815.

After admiring the Arc de Triomphe below, Yang Jing came to the underground floor of the Arc de Triomphe, where he could climb along the spiral ladder to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

Yang Jing is an international student, holding a student's passport and is younger than 26 years old, so it is free for him to reach the Arc de Triomphe.

Following the spiral ladder to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, looking out at the distance of twelve radial streets. The feeling was very wonderful. Yang Jing even felt that at this moment, he had transformed into the Great Emperor Napoleon more than 300 years ago, overlooking the entire Paris Saint-German...
