Today's destination, Paris! The apartment where An Qingju and An Chu met. ↑ Top Novel,

I said goodbye to Stephanie in Brussels early in the morning. I was so reluctant to leave, it was so comfortable here! But thinking that An Qingju and An Chuyu had a more comfortable apartment to live in Paris, I cheered up and prepared to go to Paris.

An Qingju and An Chuyu's car was going to be returned at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris today. In the morning, An Qingju and An Chuyu carefully cleaned up the sundries in the car and sorted and checked the things in the suitcase. It's been two weeks since I left, and nothing has been lost, which is great.

The journey was smooth. It was about 300 kilometers from the suburbs of Brussels to Paris, and we took intercontinental highways all the way. These intercontinental highways were well maintained. Although there were many places with only one lane in one direction, the emergency services on the side of the lanes were also in place, with an emergency maintenance section every 3 kilometers or so.

The car with problems can be parked on the side for repair, which is very spacious; this effectively avoids the situation where a car suddenly breaks down on the road and blocks the entire road. The rest areas on the road are clean and spacious, and the rest areas generally have clean toilets, tables and chairs for dining, and places to throw away garbage.

The large rest area is even more amazing. In addition to shops, gas stations, parking areas for large trucks, cars, and RVs, there is also a special green space for families who have traveled a long distance to rest and have fun on the lawn.

Soon, An Qingju and An Chuyu arrived at the highway border between Belgium and France.

There is a tall sculpture of two fists in the distance, which is the border. From here, the intercontinental highway becomes the French national highway (starting with a). The French national highway is more imposing and spacious than the intercontinental highway, but the service area has more toll facilities than Belgium. The toilets are all located in shopping malls, and it costs 50 cents per time.

Around 2pm, An Qingju and An Chuyu arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport. They returned the car from the place where they picked it up. After so many days, they really couldn't remember where they picked it up. However, the eye-catching color of the parking area gave a good reminder. All rented cars were returned to the "red parking area".

Thoughtful! Following the red signs, An Qingju and An Chuyu quickly found the place where they had driven the car. Just like in other places in Europe, they parked the car when they returned it. After packing all their luggage, they handed the keys to the parking lot staff and that was it.

The next step for An Qingju and An Chuyu is to take public transportation into Paris and go to their apartment. There are many ways to get out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, including buses, airport shuttles, taxis, and RER light rail. For An Qingju and An Chuyu, the most convenient way is to take RER.

I have done some serious research online yesterday. You can go to this website to check Paris' public transportation. On the website, you only need to enter the starting station and the end station, and the website will immediately show you the specific route. You can choose to only take the rail transit, etc...

There are two subway stations next to the apartment rented by An Qingju and An Chuyu. One is only 100 meters away and is called Royal. This station is a transfer station for suburban lines and urban subways, and the B3 line of the RER passes through here.

There are eye-catching "RER" signs everywhere in the airport. Follow the signs to find the entrance to the RER. You must buy your ticket before entering the station. You need to put your ticket in the automatic gate before it can open. There is a self-service ticket machine next to it. From Charles de Gaulle Airport to the European (really expensive!).

Note: The self-service ticket machines at RER accept An Qingjue and An Chuyu's Euro credit cards, but the automatic ticket machines at the city subway do not, so be prepared to pay in cash.

The first time An Qingju and An Chuyu took the Paris RER, they were shocked. The train was in very bad condition, and there were so many people, all carrying their luggage and crammed together, that there were no seats.

When I got on this kind of train on a summer afternoon, I was greeted by a strong European smell, as if a train was carrying foxes. After enduring for two stops, An Qingju could no longer bear it, so he took out a cooling oil from his backpack and smeared a large amount of it under his nose before he calmed down a little.

According to the situation that An Chuyu took the RER back to the airport from Paris, An Qingju and An Chuyu probably took the slow train that stopped at every station. Obviously. There are two types of RER3. The express train is very cool and not crowded, but it stops at very few stations. The riding experience of An Qingju and An Chuyu this time is really...

Anyone who has watched Liam Neeson's "Taken" or other films that depict life in Paris will have discovered that apartments in Paris are not quite the same as the ones we imagine in our minds. An Qingju and An Chuyu did not fully experience this until they personally visited the scene.

The picture is a bit rough, please bear with me. Apartments in Paris are generally in the shape of a "U". If the road is not horizontal and vertical, the "U" will not be a right angle. Usually there is a door facing the street, and there is a password on this door. You can enter the password before entering.

After entering, there is another door, which also has a password. The password of the second door is only known to the residents of the apartment, while the password of the first door is known to the residents and some apartment service personnel, such as the courier, who has the password of the first door, and he can put the items he wants to deliver directly in the mailbox between the two doors.

When you enter the second door, you will see an open-air courtyard similar to our "patio". If the entire apartment is occupied by one family, then this is their courtyard. Otherwise, it is a public courtyard. Sometimes the doorman of the apartment will live in the small courtyard room in the courtyard.

From the courtyard, there are stairs leading to the apartments in all directions. Some apartments also have elevators. The stairs of the small apartment rented by An Qingju and An Chuyu go around an elevator that is so narrow that only two people can stand.

The apartment manager skillfully demonstrated to An Qingjue and An Chuyu how to use all the facilities and electrical appliances in the apartment, showed them the passwords for accessing the Internet and the front and back doors and the house keys, and pointed out where the nearby supermarket was. He also told An Qingjue and An Chuyu to take down the used sheets, towels, etc. and put them in the bathroom when they left, and to leave the keys on the desk.

After everything is explained, bam! This small apartment will completely belong to An Chuyu! I have already mentioned what this small apartment looks like, so I won't go into details here.

An Chuyu said that now that she has her own "home" in Paris, her feelings about the city are completely different. In the past, when she went to every city, whether staying in a hotel or a B&B, she had to face service staff every day.

Sightseeing in these cities is "seeing". This time, An Qingju and An Chuyu have to manage the apartment by themselves, and have their own world for two people. Living in this city is "living". It's a great feeling!

For An Qingjue, the first sign of having a "home" is being able to light a fire and cook.

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

The kitchen in the apartment is fully equipped, including a microwave, oven, stove, electric kettle, refrigerator, dishwasher, various cooking utensils, tableware and cleaning supplies, and even a lot of seasonings.

An Qingju and An Chuyu brought chicken essence, sugar, salt, pepper, and a large bag of Wangjiadu spicy hot pot ingredients from home for their stay in the apartment. They used them all this time. The two of them enthusiastically wrote a long shopping list on a piece of paper - just like at home, and then set off! Shopping!

There is a supermarket deep in the road near An Qingju and An Chuyu's apartment. You can buy most daily necessities here, as well as breakfast items, vegetables, staple foods, etc. It is quite convenient. An Qingju and An Chuyu bought a lot first, put down their things, and the two of them groped their way to Huaguo City.

No matter where they go, An Qingju and An Chuyu rely on the subway and their own legs to travel in Paris. They have learned that the subway in Paris is too dense, and many subway stations are only 200 to 300 meters apart. From this platform, you can see the lights of another subway station. It is so convenient.

An Qingju checked and found that the area of ​​20 regions in Paris is about 105 square kilometers, and the total area within the third ring road of Beijing is about 150 square kilometers. An Chuyu compared the subway map of Paris with the subway map of Beijing. The circled area is about the same size as An Chuyu's circle (about 100 square kilometers). Let's take a look at the subway density.

The subway and bus in Paris are actually integrated, and the subway prices are also divided into different areas. Basically, in the core 20 districts of Paris, one subway ticket can be used to ride anywhere as long as you do not leave the ground.

The same ticket can also be used to take the bus, as long as the destination is within an hour and a half. It is said that the subway can also be transferred to the bus with one ticket. An Qingju and An Chuyu have not tried it, but they will try it next time. (To be continued..)
