Paris independent travel guide 2017 precautions

Paris is the capital of France with a thousand-year history. It is also one of the most famous cities in the world and a typical romantic city. It has the towering Eiffel Tower and the spectacular Arc de Triomphe. There are also excellent wines. Let me share with you the 2017 tips for independent travel in Paris.

A few days ago, my best friend’s daughter came to Paris from the Czech Republic. The weather was hot, there were many people, and there was a problem with the air conditioning at the scenic spot, which caused a great sense of loss to the little girl.

So I will briefly write about Paris travel, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Everyone sees Paris differently, whether they like it or not, whether it is elegant and gorgeous or coquettish and vulgar, whether they love it or hate it, it is always there and has not changed.

Chinese people always buy some luxury goods when they go to Paris, so I will start with shopping and then introduce the attractions and culture.

Galleries Lafayette

Tips: There are usually a lot of people. If you are traveling by yourself, it is recommended to first search for the style you want to buy online and then go directly to other specialty stores. The environment is relaxed and you will enjoy it. VIP service.

(At Galeries Lafayette, if you fancy a product but don’t buy it, it is very likely that it will be gone the next day, but this generally does not happen in other specialty stores.)

France has three sales seasons a year, summer, Christmas and winter. The discount rate is 50%-80%. But Chanel, Dior, and Hermès have almost none.

Shopping Golden Street

In addition to Galeries Lafayette, there is of course Paris Spring. The two are adjacent to each other, and I personally think the former is preferred over both.

In addition, Avenue des Champs-élysées (Metro: M9, 6, 13) Avenue Montaigne (Metro: M9), Avenue Saint-Germain (Metro: M4, 12), Rue Saint-Honoré ( Subway: M1, 7) are all big-name streets.

In addition to shopping, there are also restaurants and hotels. I’ll post pictures of the high-end hotels for you to see, but you may not necessarily stay there.

The Ritz, Paris: Hemingway once said, "When I imagine my life in heaven after death, the scene always appears to be the Ritz, Paris." CocoChanel has lived in this hotel for over 30 years.

Supplement: There are many stores in France that specialize in selling famous brands. The so-called brand cutting means that the famous brand has a single number or an old model, and the brand will be cut off to avoid affecting the image.

(There are no fakes in France) However, only locals know about this kind of store.

Next, let’s learn about the must-see attractions. (Not a famous attraction but the scenery is more beautiful, which will be introduced in the sequel)

Eiffel Tower and Seine River

Tips: Not much introduction, you can also visit it at night if you have time. The tower is illuminated by yellow and white lights at night.

Both sides of the Seine River are flowing scenery, and many famous buildings live here, such as the French Radio and Television Building, the Palais de Chaillot, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, the National Assembly, the Convent of Paris, the Louvre The Floating Museum, Les Invalides, Panthéon, Orsay Museum, Elysée Palace, Oceanographic Museum, etc., so if you have the conditions, it is best to rent a car or take a boat trip across the entire Seine River at night, with neon lights on both sides.

In addition to buildings, there are many large and small bridges on the Seine River.

For example: Pont de I'Alma

There are four statues of French soldiers on the bridge pier. What made the Alma Bridge famous overnight was that Princess Diana died here, which is Alma The 13th pillar in the tunnel on the right bank of the bridge caused this "British rose" to suddenly wither.

The Invalides Bridge, as its name implies, leads to the Invalides. (The most eye-catching thing in the Invalides is the Mausoleum of Napoleon)

The Alexander III Bridge was named after the Russian Czar Alexander III, who concluded the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892. In October 1896, his son Nicholas II laid the foundation stone for the bridge, which is the most gorgeous bridge in Paris. Nearby are the Grand Palace and the Petit Palace.

The Louvre (Musée du Louvre—one of the four major museums in the world)

Built in 1204, it was the original French royal palace and lived in 50 kings and queens. It is divided into old and new parts. The glass pyramid in front of the palace was designed by the Chinese architect Ieoh Ming Pei.

Three treasures in the world: Venus statue, "Mona Lisa" (the real one is only as big as an Apple MAC spread out on a flat surface, and it is said that high imitation copies are usually displayed, and the real ones are collected) and Stone sculptures of the Goddess of Victory are collected here. It also has more than 400,000 precious collections.

Regular exhibition: 11 euros; package ticket: 15 euros

Tips: Remind friends that if you are not interested in sculpture, painting, art and crafts, you are interested in the ancient East and ancient Egypt. If you haven’t studied ancient Greece and ancient Rome, you really don’t need to visit. It’s better to just browse the official website http://www.louvre.fr/zh.

The museum receives thousands of visitors every day. The venue is huge, and when you get to a third of the way, your legs won’t work and you can’t finish the whole thing. It is better to look at the pictures online and provide detailed introductions, so that you can have a better understanding of art, and truly realize that the Louvre is a palace of treasures, and it is well deserved.

Free for those under 18 years old and free every Friday night for those under 26 years old. There are time restrictions. Subway: (M1, 7)

Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris (Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris)

The original name of Notre Dame in French is "Notre Dame", which means "our lady", and lady refers to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.

It is better known to the world because of "Notre Dame de Paris" by the famous French writer Victor Hugo. The story is shocking and tear-jerking, thus giving soul and life to the sky above Notre Dame de Paris.

Tip 1: There is also an underground crypt in Notre Dame. There is a treasure inside, which is a woodcut Bible story "Tianku". Of course, people who don’t understand religion don’t need to visit.

Tip 2: There is an underground passage directly in front of the square, which is also connected to a small underground museum. Here is an introduction to the entire history of Paris' development and evolution from the tiny Ile de la Cité.

In Notre Dame de Paris There is a small door that is not very noticeable on the north side of the courtyard. After entering the small door and following the narrow spiral staircase, you can reach the fantasy monster corridor 46 meters above the ground. This corridor is named because of the decorations on the corners of the railings. There are many statues of monsters that perch atop the bell tower of Notre Dame.

The most famous of them is "Stryge". He looked at Paris thoughtfully and watched the changes in the world with relish. Stryge originates from Greek and originally means "night owl". It is a legendary night elf in the Middle East.

However, ordinary people may not be very interested in visiting these art museums. Here I particularly recommend a private museum, which is well worth a visit.

Les Pavillons de Bercy

This was transformed from an old wine cellar into a museum and a themed space. The decorations and designs of the three themed spaces of amusement park, Venice and theater are mind-blowing, especially the games that the French royal family used to play in the palace will definitely make your children happy.
