Guide to the best route for free travel in Paris

Paris is both strange and familiar to everyone. It's strange because it's too far away from us. Many people haven't been there, but Paris has been told countless times in textbooks and books. This is where the Great Revolution took place. There are the Eiffel Tower, the mighty Arc de Triomphe and the most fashionable cultural elements in the world.

In the spring of 20 15, I completed a walking journey with unbelievable actions and walked alone in the history and nature of western Europe. Paris was the first stop of that trip.

In my mind, or in my imagination, Paris is a girl drinking coffee on the left bank of the Seine, a quiet brokeback goddess and a smiling woman in the Louvre.

It should have bright and elegant colors.

In fact, when I came to Paris, I found that the color of the city was gray. Appearance is the main theme of urban architecture, and it is also the historical heavy feeling of urban soul imprint.

April in Paris is still cold and humid.

Masonry buildings have faded in the long wind and rain, and the cold Eiffel Tower still stands years later, silently telling the glory and greatness of this ancient European country.

The French have always been proud and persistent in their own culture. As rumored, English seems to have lost its position as the world's first common language in France.

The owner of the hotel is an uncle who is fluent in English, but he still insists on Bonjour every day when he sees me.

Miss.

But when we have seen the treasures of the Louvre and the splendor of Versailles, we can understand the national feelings precipitated by this long history and culture.

When Louis XVI and Queen Mary disappeared with the Great Revolution, only the legend of the French emperor Napoleon was still circulating.

After World War II, France, although not as declining as the two teeth that once dominated the sea, is indeed a thing of the past compared with the rapid development of mechanical technology in neighboring Germany.

Just like the underground subway network in Paris, the old facilities decades ago not only tell the past civilization and progress, but also accuse the French economy and technology of being weak.

If the bustling little Paris is full of splendid and heavy history and culture, then Paris embodies almost the opposite dark side.

Gypsy woman, a tough beggar and a well-dressed thief, let me experience the chaos of public security in Paris.

Nowadays, with the increasingly serious problem of economic migration, whether France can get rid of the haze and regain its former glory is probably waiting for an answer in this ancient city. ?

Thoughts after the trip:

I think everyone must have thought about this question: what is the meaning of travel?

On this issue, it depends on the current state of life and thinking, the purpose of travel, mood and emotion. So I think that everyone may have their own different views on the understanding of travel.

Personally, I don't like to follow tour groups, crowded tour guides and commandos to a certain scenic spot, shoot hastily at the designated best shooting angle, and then rush to the next scenic spot. There is no way to stop and think about this kind of trip, and it seems that this kind of trip only belongs to China people, and those so-called must-see spots seem to be specially set up for China people who travel like this. In such an environment, it seems that only one China person can be seen, who is in a hurry to take photos and go shopping, or who is bored and waiting to arrive at the next necessary scenic spot, and can't feel the leisure and mental relaxation of traveling at all.

What is really amazing about my understanding of travel is that everyone, everything or scenery I meet in this process can make my brain feel happy. In this process, you can walk leisurely on the street you like, without worrying about the crowd and the urging of the tour guide. You can also sit quietly in a corner of the street cafe for an afternoon, observe all kinds of pedestrians on the street, or think quietly, or stay in the sky for a while.

Of course, you can also love shooting! Once, I thought a good trip was to feel with my eyes and body. At one time, I even looked down on those who kept taking pictures. How can I devote myself to the beautiful scenery?

But with the growth of age, I gradually began to find that the original memory is not reliable, and those things that once brought me beauty will be slowly forgotten, and what a pity if those good things are forgotten!

So I don't rule out leaving some clues for these beautiful things now, so that I can pursue them later. We can capture those beautiful moments with our eyes, heart and camera at the same time. I believe this is not contradictory.

Then leave them in memory, in a wonderful picture that can be found along the stored clues even if the future memory fades.

We don't have to worry, we can seriously shoot a grass and a flower, patiently wait for small animals or children to make some cute and innocent expressions and actions, or we can record those busy but full faces for a living in a casual corner, and their faces are engraved with vicissitudes but serene old people.

Therefore, for me, there are no such things as must-see attractions and golden raiders. It is such a process of meeting beautiful things freely and sorting out personal memories and feelings. It may be boring, it may be scattered, it may be nagging. Anyway, I just do whatever I want.
