One of them slept until 11 o'clock, and the two of them were strolling to Luxembourg Park.

Luxembourg Park was first built by Mary de Medici (who is Henry IV's wife, and there is a room in the Louvre that is painted by Rubens). It became a prison during the Great Revolution. Later, when Napoleon was in power, the Luxembourg Castle was converted into the Senate, and the garden outside became a public garden.

Luxembourg Park is only a quarter of an hour away from the apartment where An Qingju and An Chuyu live. However, An Qingju and An Chuyu traveled to Paris to see their classmates and walked in directly to find them. They saw very little view of the park, which is a pity.

It was already noon, and locals could be seen sitting in the park for lunch everywhere. The kindergarten children were brought here by the teacher to play.

In addition to horizontal benches and benches everywhere in Luxembourg Park, there are iron chairs that can be moved everywhere. These chairs are convenient for sitting straight, armrests, and legs. The most recent thing is that you can move the chairs at any time to chat with your friends. Why is there no in the park where An Qingju and An Chuyu are?

This kind of convenient facility is the same in Dullery Park.

There are many novels and movies that have the shadow of this park. The most famous thing for An Qingju is the description of Marius and Cosette's first love in "Les Miserables". "Ran Aljean and Cosette live on West Street, and they go for a walk in Luxembourg Park every day.

At this time, Marius saw them in Luxembourg Park...," the old version of the film also faithfully depicts the scene of Marius' book sitting by the octagonal lake in Luxembourg Park seeing Cosette. Next time you go to Paris, you must spend some leisure time here.

An Qingju and An Chuyu found W next to the children's playground. The trip to parents with children seemed to be mainly amusement parks, parks, and children's playgrounds. Put the children in the playground, and adults can pull a chair and sit outside while leaving an eye to watch the children play while resting and relaxing.

An Qingju and An Chuyu took a few chairs and sat together to listen to the W family's trip to France. This was the two families traveling with their children, renting a van and the two families traveled together. They were all caring about their children and there were many happy places. Here I will first record what An Qingju and An Chuyu didn't know.

The two families dare not return the car in Paris - there are too many children + there are too many luggage, and finding a place to park and find a place to refuel is like a nightmare. It turns out that most gas stations in Paris are underground, with only an exit and a sign on the ground; the result is that GPS points to the place, but the two eyes can't find anything.

There are not four forks, but n lines; the result is that you can turn around in the intersection. It is like roulette betting. It turns out that the parking spaces in Paris are booked online, and public parking lots are very difficult to find and the prices are extremely expensive.

The result was that the car was parked in a public parking lot and collected 30 euros in one night. It seemed that "leave as you say it", which can be explained now as: being able to afford it, being able to move, moving, and walking casually.

After breaking up with W's family, An Qingju and An Chuyu continued to explore their legs. They groped to St. Sulpis Church, which was very close to the left bank. The two took out the map and studied it again to determine the direction correctly.

Then cross a small street. bang-bang-bang! Paris, which is only seen in the movie, is now in front of you like a set. The cafe on the roadside, the old book stall on the Seine River. It seems that the riverside roads on the Seine River are about to be staged, and the Seine River.

I wonder if other spectators who have been to Paris have this kind of empathy. I feel so familiar with this city I first visited (absolutely the credit of movies and pictorials), and so unfamiliar; so naturally and so unexpected. After a person's rational consciousness and external senses highly overlap, a very real and particularly unreal trance will be produced.

An Qingju and An Chuyu crossed the Seine River this time. The bridge was covered with tacky heart locks. It is estimated that this happens on the famous river and famous bridges. Recently, I heard in the news that this art bridge will not allow the heart locks to be hung, and said that the bridge can't stand it. If you don't hang it, don't hang it.

Standing on these bridges on the Seine River, the most prominent building complex you see is the Louvre. It is an impossible complex to miss. On the north bank of the Seine River, the Louvre presents a U-shaped shape that opens its mouth to the west. On the long arm of the U-shaped shape, there is a set of door holes for people to walk to the square of the Louvre.

Any building that is of age pays attention to symbols and metaphors. The Louvre is no exception. Look at the Louvre floor plan below.

An Qingju and An Chuyu entered the square of the Louvre from the entrance with three arches on the southmost side. The most eye-catching thing about this square is the entrance consisting of a pyramid and a pool.

In front of the pyramid is a bronze statue of Louis XIV. This bronze statue is placed very special and not very straight. Because the face of Louis XIV is facing the central axis of Paris, his sight will pass through the small Arc de Triomphe, the pyramid of Place de Concorde, the Grand Arc de Triomphe, and to the Arc de Triomphe in the new district.

This is simple. Just follow the direction of the bronze statue of Louis XIV, which is the route of An Qingju and An Chuhui today. As you move forward like this, An Qingju and An Chuhui will soon arrive at the Garden of Dullie.

To put it bluntly, the garden of the ruins of the Palace of Dullery. The Palace of Dullery was used to be the bedroom of the French emperor and the empress (the Louvre is a place for work and reception).

Later, when there was the Palace of Versailles, the emperors lived wherever they lived. During the French Revolution, the Parisians forced Louis XVI to move back to the Palace of Dulleigh. Later, Louis XVI was pulled to the Plaza de Concorde outside the Palace of Dulleigh and beheaded. Later, the Paris Commune burned it. Now there is only a garden left in Dulleigh. It has become a good place for An Qingju and An Chu to rest when they meet these tourists.

There are green grass everywhere, and there is also a large children's playground. The towering Ferris wheels and cantilever speeding bring out the screams of tourists from time to time. An Qingju and An Chuyu were sitting under the tree to study the map, while more people sat directly by the pool and looked at the Concorde Square.

I don’t know how many people will sit like this now, staring blankly, and watching something. At least An Qingju knows that there are many anxious people around him. As long as he stays alone and doesn’t do anything, he will be stinging his heart. He must hold a cell phone in his hand for a moment to calm down.

In these parks, chairs can be arranged as you want, just sit and talk, or look away without saying a word. It's very natural, because everyone does this.

After passing this pool, An Qingju and An came out of the Dullie Garden and came to Plaza de Concorde. Plaza de Concorde was originally built by Louis XV, but during the French Revolution in 1789, it became a guillotine and was renamed "Plaza Revolution".

Louis XVI and the Queen were sent to the guillotine here, and Danton and Robert Spear, who were sent to the guillotine, were also killed by the same guillotine here. There is a legend.

Because the bloody smell here was so strong that a herd of cattle stopped abruptly when they passed by here and did not want to pass here and then changed the route and detoured. It was not until the square was rebuilt, in order to commemorate the end of the war years and satisfy the people's desire for peace that "Revolution Square" was renamed "Concord Square".

For An Qingju, the most famous obelisk on the Plaza de Concorde is the obelisk. When An Qingju and An first met in Egypt, they saw the place where the obelisk was dug up at the Luxor Temple, which is located at the entrance of the courtyard of Ramses II, the temple of Luxor.

That was the gift from Louis Philippe (Louis XIX) of the July Dynasty, which was received from Egypt. It is said that it was the better-looking of the two obelisks at the entrance of the courtyard of Ramses II. In order to transport it here, the obelisk set off from Egypt and arrived in Paris for two and a half years.

It is indeed beautiful. The obelisk stands in the center of the square and the surrounding buildings, and the atmosphere is naturally integrated. The base of the obelisk uses gilded decoration to record the process of the behemoth's arduous journey to Paris. Every step is a miracle of engineering.

Some places on the ground on the Plaza de Concorde are engraved, which means that An Qingju x was beheaded here in French, etc. There are many gorgeous installations on the square now, such as the Sea God Fountain. They are placed one by one, but they are completely in line with the surrounding environment. Even if you look from a distance, you will not conflict with the Eiffel Tower in the distance.

You can see the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysees. On both sides of the street are two statues of Marley horses. However, this is a replica, the authentic one is in the Louvre. An Qingju and An Chuyu followed the map and found the Tou Ristcenter directly, bought the 6th museum pass and took the subway home.

The two groundhogs were planning while walking, and they got home and studied the pass seriously. They decided that the 6-day ticket should be fully used. Sunday (the first Sunday of each month) is free. Since An Chuyu caught up, it would be enough to have 7 days to visit Paris where An Qingju and An Chuyu are worth it.

After a walk this afternoon, the two of them were already hungry. I didn’t say anything, cook! Dinner was braised pork ribs + tomato noodles, which was so delicious! An Qingju and An Chuyu didn’t plan to open the museum pass today. But there were many places to go.

In the northern part of Paris, many people say "very messy" in their travel notes. Even in the northern part of Montmartre Heights, it is also very messy. In the past, many artists gathered there, and it is said that they have a very artistic atmosphere. Now it has become a place where customers can forcefully draw for you.

So how messy is it? It depends on your personal experience. Of course, it is best not to experience it in the evening. It is okay to go in broad daylight, at most, there are some scammers and thieves. You can still experience it if you take safety measures.
