The weather was bad, the wind was strong and cold. Angelian's location: 226ruederivoli, 75001paris, france The Louvre is still very close, go through the Arc de Triomphe and walk into the Tuileries Garden, then go out from the right-hand side door in the middle of the park to the north and you will find it. There are many desserts in France, and for a foodie, it is definitely a paradise.

I saw a guide that said they specifically went to taste the signature dishes of various restaurants, but unfortunately Yunluo and An Chuyu had limited time, so the guide only arranged a few easy-to-find restaurants. For example, Angelian Desserts, I remember there are three in Paris, the Louvre store is probably the main store, there is also a counter in Galeries Lafayette, and I can't remember the other one.

Yunluo and An Chuyu finally got there and saw a queue from a distance. Fortunately, it was not very long, so Yunluo and An Chuyu joined the queue. But after waiting for a while, they found that the queue was not moving, which was a bit strange. Standing at the door, they found that the people in the queue were waiting for seats. If you go in on the right, you can buy it to go. Yunluo and An Chuyu had to take it out.

Following the guide, I ordered the classic standard mont and hot chocolate. I heard it was a bit sweet, and it turned out to be so. However, it was just enough to replenish calories and energy in the chilly weather outside. It's been a while, so I don't know how to describe the taste. Let's just look at the picture: people lined up at the door, waiting for seats.

Turn right after entering the door. The counter is for take-out. No need to queue. On the third day, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to eat again. Maybe it was because it was Monday morning, there was no queue this time, so they sat down and enjoyed it slowly. The decoration was quite luxurious and had a great feeling. But I didn't recognize a word on the menu, so I went to the take-out counter.

Point to the real thing and ask the waiter to write down the name before ordering. In the end, I ordered three (actually enough. Because eating too much sweet will make you sick, it is suitable for leisure and slow eating). I found that the hot chocolate was not in a takeaway paper cup, but in a small pot, like afternoon tea. The price was also more expensive when I checked out, and there was tax. See picture.

(Mont Blanc) Mont seems to be a must-order hot chocolate. If you want to take out, the sealed paper cup is similar to the milk tea in China. It seems to be called Napoleon. Tips: The price of take-out and dine-in at Angelina store is different.

After drinking the hot chocolate, my whole body was warm. After a short rest and replenishing my energy, I headed to Galeries Lafayette. I don’t know if it was because the desserts were high in calories or I was too hungry, but it was already past six when I arrived at Galeries Lafayette. Although it was dinner time, I didn’t have much interest in looking for delicious food. I first bought the LV and channel items that my colleague had bought for me.

Galeries Lafayette is definitely a shopping paradise. Many big brands have Chinese guides, so there is no need to worry about language problems. And the supply is quite complete. My colleague was worried that this style would be sold out. Because it was evening, there were no tour groups. When Yunluo and An Chuyu came again on the third day, they happened to meet a Chinese tour group. Then you know, just grab the goods directly.

When Yunluo and An Chuyu finished the shopping, it was already 7:30, and the salesperson said that the tax refund must be processed before 8 o'clock, and it cannot be processed the next day. An Chuyu felt wronged, and had no time to buy his own things, so he had to come again tomorrow (when he came at noon the next day, he found that the door was closed. It turned out that the store was closed on Sundays, so he had to give up.

I came on the third day. I had planned to go to the Palace of Versailles that morning, but it was closed on Monday, so I spent the morning at the Galeries Lafayette happy hour. So everyone should pay special attention to the opening hours.) That night, I returned to the cabin with three bags worth 40,000 yuan. Let me first talk about the prices of cosmetics and bags.

Bags: Milan vs. Galeries Lafayette. When comparing LV's Almabb models, the Galeries Lafayette ones were several dozen Euros cheaper. Cosmetics vs. Galeries Lafayette > Sunrise Duty Free Shop at Pudong Airport > Dubai Airport Duty Free Shop and Charles de Gaulle Airport Duty Free Shop. It's hard to say which one is cheaper, but Dubai and Charles de Gaulle can be ignored.

Generally speaking, the prices are not as good as those at Sunrise Duty Free Shop. Please note that the two stores at Sunrise Duty Free Shop are different. When going abroad, this store is bigger and has more varieties. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought some of their cosmetics here. It is much cheaper than the counters in the market. For example, you can buy two of Clarins's face-slimming products at the counter price.

Buy it and store it, and pick it up when you return home. In addition, Galeries Lafayette is relatively the most favorable, and if you encounter counter promotions, it will be even more affordable. At that time, I compared Lancome's Little Black Bottle. Galeries Lafayette is slightly cheaper than Sunrise, and Dubai and Charles de Gaulle are about 200 to 300 more expensive. If you don't want to bother, you'd better buy it directly at Sunrise.

You need to check the pickup date on the receipt. I gave Yunluo and An Chuyu the wrong date (I didn't check it at the time), which prevented them from picking up the goods when they returned to China. In addition, some products were only available at this store when they left the country. After half an hour of negotiation, they finally agreed to supply Yunluo and An Chuyu, but they ended up waiting for another half an hour. Let's talk about the tax refund process.

After shopping at Galeries Lafayette in Paris, the waiter will give you a receipt. 2. Take this receipt and go to the mall to get your stamp. The stamping place is behind Omega. There you will find two queues. The left one is for stamping and tax refund procedures, and the right one has a row of bank counter windows for Global Blue tax refund (introduction in the travel guide).

3. When you get to the stamping place, there are Asian faces, and some foreign staff can speak Chinese. They will ask you whether you want to refund in cash or by credit card. Cash can refund 10.8%; credit card can refund 12%; but credit card refund will take 2 months. If it fails, you have to ask yourself.

Therefore, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose to pay in cash. 4. After stamping, you have two options: one is to refund directly at the mall, that is, Blue Union; the other is to refund at the airport; Blue Union refunds credit card mortgages, and you also need to mail the tax refund form at the airport. You can ask the staff for details. Yunluo can't remember it clearly. At that time, I chose to refund at the airport for safety reasons.

In addition to the tax refund form, the staff will also give you a booklet on the tax refund process. You can also ask the staff for help at the airport. 5. Since it is now an electronic tax refund form with a barcode on it, you can just find a blue machine to scan it at the airport, and you don’t have to go to the counter to handle it. 6. After scanning, go to the counter to refund in cash.

Yunluo and An Chuyu chose to refund in Euro, which is 10.8% of the total price. Refund in RMB is not cost-effective, as the exchange rate of Euro was 8.5 at that time. But the refund in RMB there was calculated at 6.6, which is too unfair. See the picture: Instructions for tax refund at Galeries Lafayette. Scan the tax refund form at the airport, put the form into the slot, and it will be OK after successful refund in Euro at the designated counter.

We walked to the counter for withdrawing euros at Gate 5. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't have to queue up, so everything went smoothly.

After returning from the trip, I was exhausted. My calves were sore. After putting my bag away, I went to the nearby supermarket to buy some fruits and snacks. As usual, I fell asleep immediately after washing up. The next day's itinerary was to visit Notre Dame de Paris in the morning, then go to the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe, and then go to the Eiffel Tower.

It seems that the weather is not good. When I got up at 8 o'clock in the morning, it was cloudy and a little windy. There were patches of clouds in the sky. The sky was not as blue as yesterday. But after 9 o'clock, the sun came out again, which was great, but the wind was still very strong. The small house where I live is not far away. It takes about 20 minutes to walk. I appreciated various magnificent buildings in front, and Notre Dame de Paris was not so "amazing".

But it was the weekend, and there was a church service. It was a good experience, and there were many people watching. See the picture to find out the truth. I was always worried about the public security, and I heard that there were many thieves. I didn't encounter any along the way, but I didn't expect to encounter one in Notre Dame. As I said before, the thief was a little girl. She came here like she was holding a questionnaire.

She kept pushing against An Chuyu. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't understand what was going on, but they felt something was wrong. They tried to avoid her and left. Finally, the little girl gave up. She took out a cell phone and gave it to Yunluo and An Chuyu. It turned out to be An Chuyu's. She was very clever. She probably put the photo in her coat pocket after taking it. She was found and took the opportunity to attack. She must be a repeat offender.

Then I thought, the iPhone 4 may not be worth much, and it is not very useful here, and I didn't get any cash. I rarely see iPhones abroad these days, unlike in China where they are sold everywhere. Everyone must take care to keep valuables safe, because thieves are in the dark and hard to guard against. Many churches have this kind of beautiful glass.

The sunlight coming through was very beautiful. I happened to be in an open space near a church on the weekend and I still have a childish heart. I rode on a wooden horse and locked the bridge. There are three famous bridges on the Seine, namely the Pont Neuf, the Pont des Papes and the Pont Alexandre III. The Pont des Papes is near the Louvre. I saw it the day before, but there was no lock put up at that time, so I went to put one up today.

There were vendors selling locks on the bridge. The big ones cost seven or eight Euros, and the small ones cost thirty or four Euros. However, Yunluo and An Chuyu had a small suitcase lock, so they used it. I suggest that everyone prepare a special lock in China first. There is basically no empty space on the entire bridge, so you can just hang it directly on the other locks. Bless its quality is so good that it can withstand the increasing number of locks.

Origin of the Love Lock Bridge (Baidu Encyclopedia) The love lock trend does not originate from Parisian tradition, but from the plot of Federico Moccia's novel "Sorry, I Love You" in 2006. In the novel, the protagonist hangs a lock with his name on the Miovio Bridge in Rome and throws the key into the Tiber River to represent eternal love.

Later, this trend first emerged in Rome, and then swept across Europe and even the world. The Italian government, where the love locks were born, had a debate on whether to remove the "love locks". One group believed that the love locks affected the stability of the bridge and should be melted and removed; the other group believed that they were a symbol of romantic love and a promotional card for the city.

The Paris municipal government was troubled by the "love locks" on the Pont des Arts. They seemed to care more about protecting the monument than pleasing couples. They originally planned to remove them, but in the end they were helpless. Currently, the official website of the city of Paris calls on tourists to use "electronic love locks" instead. The lock bridge was photographed the day before, and the Louvre was photographed from another angle today.

After locking the love lock, it was already afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu were ready to go for lunch. The guide recommended the Hippopotamus Restaurant, which is on Champs-Elysees, not far from the LV headquarters and close to the Arc de Triomphe. Here is how to buy subway tickets. A single ticket is 1.7 euros, 10 tickets are 13.6 euros, and a day ticket is 6.8 euros per person (zones 1 and 2).

The total cost of a day ticket for two people is only 13.2 euros, which is cheaper than 10 tickets, and you can take the subway and RER lines in the area unlimited times. The famous attractions in Paris are basically within the first and second zones. If you have many places to visit, it is recommended to buy a day ticket for the first and second zones, which is very cost-effective. The ticket + the ticket price is 1.7 euros.

A car is equivalent to 10 tickets, which cost 13.60 euros. You can buy a ticket for 2 euros after getting on the bus. There are a set of complicated rules for using it to transfer. Generally speaking, you can use it for a one-way trip, or transfer between the subway and RER within zone 2 within 90 minutes, or transfer between buses and tramways. However, these two groups cannot transfer to each other.

You cannot take the night train noctilien and the airport bus. The day ticket mobilis and the youth weekend ticket jeunesweek-end (for weekends and holidays for those under 26 years old) are valid on the same day and can be used within the zone on the ticket. The ticket price varies in different zones. After purchasing, fill in your name and date of use (Yunluo and An Chuyu filled it out but no one checked it).

You cannot take the airport's convenient transportation Orlyval, Roissy/Orlybus, Roissyrail, Orlyrail (you can take the RER line in the area). At the self-service ticket machine, first select the language, English, and then select the type of ticket: Tichet+ single ticket; Mobilis day ticket; Tichetjeune youth ticket (not used).

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The other few were not introduced, so I won't guess the number of tickets I bought. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought the day ticket and got off at the Concorde Station. As soon as they got out of the station, it started to drizzle, and there was no shelter on the square, and the wind was very strong. Wuwu pressed the shutter, and then went back to take the subway and got off at the Champs Elysees Station, on the way to the Hippo Restaurant.

I first saw the LV flagship store (very close to the subway entrance), which seemed to be on the third floor and was very busy. Unfortunately, I couldn't take photos, so I went straight to the point and saw the Hippo restaurant (which is nearby, just a five-minute walk). The M1 subway station has several stops: Hôtel deville, Musée du Louvre, and Concorde.

Champs-Elysées-Clemenceau, Charles de Gaulle-Étoile Hippopotamus is a relatively economical chain restaurant with a hippopotamus as its logo. It mainly serves French steaks and is spread all over Paris. Address: 20 rue Quentin-Bauchart. 75008 Paris. How to get there

You can take the subway M1 to Geev Station. Business hours: 12:00-23:30 Average consumption per person: 20-30 euros per person, excluding drinks. Website: h After the meal, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to the Arc de Triomphe and saw another famous economical chain restaurant called Chez Clement Chez Clemente Lysée. Address:

123avenuedeschamps-élysées,75008paris,franceReminder: After finishing the appetizer, ask the waiter to take it away before serving the main course. Similarly, order dessert at the end. At that time, Yunluo and An Chuyu waited for a long time in vain, which was a joke. Place de la Concorde, Obelisk Hippo Restaurant, the environment is quite good, and most of the people who come to dine here are locals. The waiters don't speak much English.

Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered two set meals. 39 euros, 1 euro as a tip, both tasted good, appetizers, vegetable salad steak, medium-rare fish and vegetable soup, and dessert after the meal.

After filling our stomachs, we continued to head towards the Arc de Triomphe. It took us about ten minutes to get there. In fact, you can see it if you walk to the Champs-Elysees, but unfortunately it was under maintenance. We took a photo and looked down, then took Metro Line 6 and arrived at the Trocadero (Palais de Chaillot) in about 5 minutes (or walk 1.5 kilometers along Avenue Kleber).

That is the best place to see the Eiffel Tower from a distance. Then we walked down the steps and crossed the Seine River to the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, the weather was not good. As soon as we arrived at the Palais de Chaillot, it started to rain heavily. We immediately ran back to the subway station to avoid the rain, and then made the most regretful decision: go back to the cabin first. Because the weather was quite cold.

An Chuyu didn't have enough clothes to wear, and it was raining, so she planned to go back to the cabin to put on more clothes so that she could climb the tower and see more at night. So she took Line 6 and got off at Eiffel Station, then walked to the REC Line station and took the train back to the cabin. Unexpectedly, after getting off Line 6, the rain stopped and a rainbow appeared. I haven't seen it for a long time.

I was so excited, but the rainbow was blocked by other buildings, so I started running towards the tower, but it disappeared after a while. I regretted it so much. If I had hidden for a while, I would have been able to take a picture of the tower under the rainbow, or take a picture from any angle on the road, which would have left a beautiful memory. But but.

It just disappeared. After the shower, the sky was still full of dark clouds. I missed the rainbow. After a brief close encounter with the Eiffel Tower, I decided to go back and buy some clothes, otherwise I would freeze to death at night. Since it was a day ticket, I went back and forth without restraint. It was almost four o'clock when I returned to the Eiffel Tower again. I was still at the Palais de Chaillot.

Then we walked down the stairs and slowly walked towards the Eiffel Tower. Then we saw a couple taking wedding photos, of course they were Chinese, haha. There are two carousels under the Eiffel Tower, one is right below, very close, and the other is before crossing the Seine, there is a cruise ship dock by the river. Night slowly fell, hungry and cold, in a small shop.

I bought some pie and hot chocolate to fill my stomach, but the taste was not very good. Fortunately, I had some snacks from the supermarket. In order to capture the best light ten minutes before dark, I had to endure it, but I was not familiar with the weather here, and the sky was not very dark. I waited until after seven o'clock to capture that moment.

At this time, Yunluo and An Chuyu both wanted to go to the toilet, but the result was tragic. They asked many people, even the staff, and looked for the three places they pointed to, but there was no place. They searched for 40 minutes, and finally gave up because they couldn't walk anymore. They had no patience and endured... At 8 o'clock, the tower suddenly began to flicker. It turned out that the lights were on (it seemed that the lights were only on at the hour).

It was so beautiful, I really don't know how to describe it. It seemed to last for ten minutes, but it was worth it. Romantic France, Eiffel! You are standing in front of Yunluo and An Chuyu so real, I love you so much. Yunluo and An Chuyu want to come again if there is a chance, and there is also the love lock of Yunluo and An Chuyu. I originally planned to climb the Eiffel Tower, but I was not in good condition. (To be continued...)
