The most luxurious shopping mall and the most famous beach. City Hill is a hill next to the ancient Greek city. It was also the first medieval fortress. Now only a few walls are left. Walk from the British Promenade and take a free elevator to see the panoramic view of Angel Bay from the best angle.
Unfortunately, we arrived too late and the elevator was closed. If you want to go, remember to go between 9 am and 6 pm. Unable to go to Castle Hill, Yunluo and An Chuyu had to go back and walk around, and check the catering situation to find a good place for tomorrow's meal. There are so many restaurants, and there are so many people, and you can find food from all over the world.
Not long after strolling around, Yunluo came across the fenocchio Italian ice cream shop that he had always wanted to go to. It is famous not only for its delicious taste, but also for its rich flavors, with a total of 96 kinds. It is open from 9am to midnight every day and is open all year round. The ingredients of the flavors are placed on the ice cream, which is super tempting. There are various wine-flavored ice creams. In the end, Yunluo chose raspberry flavor and hazelnut coffee flavor.
The portion was large, delicious, and not expensive. I remember it was no more than 5 euros. On the way back, there were many children playing at the fountain next to the Place Massena. On the second day in Nice, Yunluo and Anchuyu set out at noon and headed for the famous Cote d'Azur town, Eze. Yunluo yearned for Eze, not only because it overlooked the beautiful Cote d'Azur.
Or because Grandpas Over Flowers had been here before. Yunluo is a loyal fan of Grandpas Over Flowers and has followed their footsteps to Nice, so why not go to Eze? There are two ways to go to Eze, one is by bus. The other is by train. If you choose the bus, you can take bus No. 82 or No. 112 to get there directly.
But these two buses run every hour; the other way is to take bus 100, get off at Ezegare station at the foot of the mountain and then reverse to take bus 83 to Eze village. The first one is recommended. It is convenient because you don't have to reverse. The bus schedule can be checked online. In addition, you can take bus 112 to Monaco's Monacoroqueville station via Eze.
The location is about 1000 meters away. If you choose the train, you need to take the train to Ezegare Station, and then transfer to bus No. 83 to Eze Village. Please refer to the specific train schedule. It is not very convenient and is not recommended. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the first way. Take bus No. 82. There are many people going to Eze, and the car is full of people.
The bus fare is 1 Euro per person per way. Remember to prepare change. On the bus, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Cote d'Azur. To reach Eze, you first need to climb a mountain, which is not steep. There is a perfume shop on the way. Yunluo and An Chuyu went in to pick up some things and rest. Continue to climb up and see the high-end restaurant where Grandpa was treated to dinner in Grandpa Over Flowers.
Sitting in the restaurant, you can not only eat delicious food, but more importantly, you can enjoy the Cote d'Azur. Many tourists stop here, but when they see the high prices on the restaurant, they turn around and leave. There is a soap shop with a variety of colors. Finally arrived at the town of Eze! The history of Eze can be traced back to at least the 4th century BC, when it was an important trade port for the Ligurians.
Greek caravans and cargo ships often passed through here, making it quite prosperous. But in the Middle Ages, fierce Saracen pirates carried out many devastating raids on Eze. The survivors of Eze who could not bear the harassment moved the entire village to the top of the cliff. And the whole structure was built like an eagle's nest.
The 429-meter-high altitude makes this the best place to view the Cote d'Azur. It is loved by many writers and artists. The famous philosopher Nietzsche lived here many times and completed the third part of his masterpiece "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". In order to commemorate Nietzsche, the road from the Eze seaside to the Eze village is named Nietzsche Road.
The movie "To Catch a Thief" that won Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco an Oscar was filmed here. Eze Town. Town Map The town is an ancient town in the Middle Ages. The roads are all cobblestone alleys. All the houses are stone houses. There are many handicraft shops along the way, which are full of surprises.
The piglet at the door of a handicraft shop selling root carvings is so cute. What is the postmodern painting woman enjoying? The trash can with a lot of personality. In addition to the exquisite shops, the stone road here is very charming. Yunluo and An Chuyu took pictures non-stop. Vatican Vatican Vatican After experiencing the scenery of Panshan Town, Yunluo and An Chuyu climbed to the top of the mountain.
This is the Eze Botanical Garden, the best place to see the Cote d'Azur. Looking at the sea view here gives you a feeling of floating on the ocean. Eze Botanical Garden. Originally the ruins of a ruined castle, the botanical garden is now full of cacti, and there are female portraits by French sculptor Jean-Philippe Chard standing everywhere in the park.
Each one has a different name, but they all have the same calm posture, calm expression, and face the sea. These statues are in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment. There is also a meditation area made up of benches in the garden. After leaving the botanical garden, Yunluo and Anchu's trip to Eze also came to an end. Before leaving, let's end with delicious food.
It was a very memorable holiday. It was not a happy one, but a sad one. Because it was a holiday, many restaurants in Paris closed early or even didn't open during the few days Yunluo and An Chuyu were in Paris. Christmas Day was even more memorable. I can still remember that afternoon, the air was cold and drizzling, and Yunluo and An Chuyu were walking on the streets of Paris.
Just to find a restaurant to sit down and rest, to avoid the rain, oh, it's really sad to think about this. Because of that experience, the impression of Paris is gloomy. But the Paris that Yunluo knows should not be like this, it should be bright and romantic. So, Yunluo decided to revisit Paris to feel what Paris in summer would be like.
In addition, Yunluo also hopes to realize several wishes that were not realized during the last trip to Paris: first, enjoy the student rights and climb the Arc de Triomphe for free to overlook the panoramic view of Paris; second, climb the Montmartre Hill and see the "Yunluo loves you" in various languages on the Love Wall; third, enjoy the student rights again and visit all the famous art galleries in Paris for free.
Fourth, see the Eiffel Tower again if it doesn’t rain; Fifth, because we are not flying, we no longer have to worry about luggage restrictions, so Yunluo can go shopping happily~ Yunluo adheres to the wish that both ideals and reality will be fulfilled, and starts a two-day trip to Paris... First stop: Wall of Love, Montmartre Montmartre is where Parisian literati live.
There are the famous Sacre Coeur and Moulin Rouge. The Paris Wall of Love is located in a small park halfway up the northern Montmartre. You can see it when you exit the subway station. It is a small piece of paper, but it carries the words "Yun Luo Ai Ni" in 311 fonts and 280 languages. The picture above shows a girl in a dark blue suspender skirt, leaning against a small table.
There is a line of small words next to the painting: "Soyons raisonnable, exigeonslimpossible" On the left side of the wall, you can see three large Chinese characters, "Love you" The initiator of the Montmartre Love Wall, Frédéric Baron, is a French musician who is good at writing love songs.
Since 1992, Baron has collected and recorded more than 1,000 handwritten "I love you" in more than 300 languages, and established the Montmartre Wall of Love in February 2001. After visiting the Wall of Love, we went to the famous Sacre Coeur. There was no internet or map. Yunluo and Anchu met by relying on road signs and found the church after climbing a flight of stairs.
Finally arrived. The Sacre-Coeur is a Catholic basilica in Paris, France, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is located on Montmartre, a highland in the north of Paris. It is one of the famous landmarks in Paris. It was completed in 1914, but because of the outbreak of World War I, it was not officially put into use until the end of the war in 1919.
The overall style of the Sacre-Coeur is very Roman-Byzantine, and many of its designs contain elements of nationalism. It has three arched porches, decorated on both sides with equestrian statues of Joan of Arc and Louis IX. The Sacre-Coeur is built of limestone quarried from Chateau-Landon, a rock that constantly oozes calcite.
This ensures that the Sacre Coeur retains its white appearance even under the influence of weathering and pollution. The dome of the church has a huge mosaic, called Christ in Majesty, which is one of the largest mosaics in the world. The perimeter of the Sacre Coeur includes a garden with a fountain for people to meditate.
Here, you can overlook the panoramic kaleidoscope of Paris. Paris was contracted by Yunluo! When we were about to go down the mountain, we found that the Sacre Coeur was directly connected to the tour bus. Seeing the Paris bus card logo, Yunluo and An Chuyu swiped the bus card with a try-it attitude. Sure enough, this is public transportation, and Yunluo and An Chuyu can take it directly.
This cable car is very similar to the one at Seoul Tower, but the distance is shorter and there is no scenery. It is just a means of transportation. The first wish was fulfilled! The second stop was the Musée d'Orsay. After visiting Montmartre, Yunluo and An Chuyu had a delicious Chinese meal. Because everyone wanted to go to different places, Yunluo and An Chuyu started to act separately.
This is perfect for Yunluo who is going to the museum. Because Yunluo has always believed that for places like museums, everyone has different tastes and likes different things, so everyone's pace will not be unified, and because they are moving together, everyone will think about each other, which will affect their own appreciation of the works.
The Musée d'Orsay is one of the three major museums in Paris and has the largest collection of Impressionist works in the world. It mainly collects art treasures from 1848 to 1912 (it is recommended to visit the Louvre for collections before 1848 and Pompidou for art after 1912). You must not miss these treasures of Impressionist masters when you come here.
Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait" and "The Cathedral at Avres", Monet's "Impression, Sunrise" and "Woman in the Wind", Millet's "The Gleaners", Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass" and Cezanne's "Still Life".
There are also many masterpieces by Renoir, Gauguin, Picasso and others. I waited in line for 20 minutes to enter the Orsay Museum. I rented an interpreter. It was in Chinese and cost 5 euros. When I entered the museum, the big clock was very conspicuous. In fact, the Orsay used to be the southwest railway station in Paris. It was transformed into a museum in 1986.
The original architectural sketches that make up the interior of the museum are not standing on the real Musee d'Orsay, but on a miniature building. This way of display is unique. The first place Yunluo arrived at was the corridor of the Surrealist school. Yunluo liked the paintings here the most because the painters' ideas were very unique, and the style of painting would not make an outsider like Yunluo think that they were children's paintings.
This one is very ethereal. This one describes two paintings of women bidding farewell to their husbands during the war. The meaning is profound. It is not just about bidding farewell. In addition to paintings, the statues are also very interesting. For example, this one has red eyes and this one has a ferocious face. The front is high energy! Is this... Squeeze, or blood?
Is it Mother Earth who watered the flowers with her blood? This painting is very famous, I remember it was called The Rivers of the World. Originally, a layer of gauze was placed in front of the painting when it was displayed. Full of...Manet's famous "Luncheon on the Grass" was exhibited at the Salon des Refusés in 1863.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This painting caused a sensation that was rarely seen in the world. He directly depicted the earthly environment, painting the whole woman and the well-dressed gentleman together. He made a bold innovation in traditional painting in terms of painting techniques. He got rid of the delicate brushstrokes and a lot of brown tones in traditional painting, and replaced them with bright, contrasting, and almost flat color blocks.
All this made the official academic school unbearable. In terms of composition, this painting places the characters in the same kind of densely wooded background, with a limited depth in the center. The woman bending over not far from the center becomes the apex of the classical triangular composition formed with the three characters in the foreground.
In terms of technique, the idea of painting as a second surface was pushed forward a step further, and a new attempt was made to use external light and dark background, so this painting is an innovation in both artistic technique and historical significance. Another painter Monet's painting echoes Manet's. In 1865, Monet first met Camille.
He asked her to be the model for a huge oil painting he was planning at the time, "Luncheon on the Grass". The first woman on the left side of the painting was painted with Camille as the model. This painting was completed outdoors, so compared with Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass", it is indeed better in depicting the vividness of the outdoor light and the real nature of the scenery.
The sunlight in the painting shines through the trees onto the characters and the ground, which is transparent and brilliant. It is refreshing. Monet used the Impressionist light and shadow techniques to depict the gentlemen and ladies leisurely on the grass. The painter used the dark shade of the trees as the background to set off the man, woman and food on the white cloth in the foreground, reflecting the leisurely holiday lunch in summer.
The couple behind is about to leave. The green leaves are exceptionally bright under the strong sunlight, which not only highlights the hot summer season, but also adds color to the picture. The scenery and characters are depicted vividly and movingly. The use of external light brings a colorful and refreshing effect to the picture.
Monet's other works The Milan Cathedral under different light and shadow effects painted by him The studio of Van Gogh's good friend, Paul Gauguin The painting of Van Gogh's self-portrait, in front of the portrait was full of people On the way to visit many studios, Yun Luozeng saw the clock many times, which was probably left over from the original train station. The balcony on the top floor of the museum can see the scenery on the other side of the Seine.
Montmartre Hill in the distance. Overlooking the Orsay Museum on the first floor from the second floor, bye! Let Yunluo see you again~ The third stop: Orangerie Museum, Tuileries Garden In Paris, France, when walking from the Place de la Concorde to the green Tuileries Garden, the Orangerie Museum near the banks of the Seine exhibits Monet's Water Lilies, which were painted by Monet in the Giverny Garden.
There are also works from the end of the Impressionist period to around World War II, such as those by Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and others. To get to the Orangerie Museum, you must first enter the Tuileries Garden. The Tuileries Garden was originally the private property of Queen Medici. After the Queen built the Tuileries Palace in the garden, the Tuileries Palace has always been the bedroom of the Emperor and Queen.
It was also the place where the emperor held banquets, so it was magnificent and extraordinary. Later, when the Palace of Versailles was completed and the emperor moved out, it was neglected for a time. After the French Revolution in 1798, the Parisians forced Louis XVI to move from the Palace of Versailles to the Tuileries Palace. Therefore, the Tuileries Palace had imperial traces again, but it also began to be filled with the smell of blood.
Today, many statues can be seen in the Tuileries Garden, which is known as an open-air museum. The Tuileries Garden is located between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, with one side facing the Seine River. Sitting by the large pond in the garden or drinking a cup of coffee in an open-air cafe is the best experience to experience Parisian leisure. No wonder it is considered one of the most fascinating gardens in Paris.
The Orangerie Museum is called the Orangerie because it literally means a museum built in an orangery. The Orangerie Museum has two floors. The first floor has two exhibition halls for displaying Monet's works. The exhibition halls are circular, and each hall has three rectangular paintings. In his later years, Monet dreamed of painting water lilies all over the room. In order to help the painter realize his dream.
The Orangerie Museum remodeled its interior to accommodate Monet's paintings, and the painter continued to work until his death. In 1927, the Water Lilies series was exhibited publicly. However, there are no other works in the permanent exhibition room of the Orangerie Museum except the Water Lilies. In 1977, the collections of Guillaume and Valtel were added. (To be continued...)
