This is a suburban line, and you need to buy a separate ticket, 3.45 euros per person for a one-way trip. It is a bit similar to the Beijing Light Rail Line 5 and Line 13. The car is quite comfortable, and it has two floors.

After getting off the bus and walking a few steps, you can find the Palace of Versailles following the crowd. An Chuyu and An Qingju were shocked by the sight from afar.

Chinese and foreign tourists formed a long line in the square under the scorching sun. Everyone was blinded by the scorching sun and had nowhere to escape. An Chuyu and An Qingju walked up to a security guard and asked where the museum pass was, but they received a tragic answer: "It's all the same, you have to queue up."

At first I thought the security guard didn't understand, so I asked another security guard, and sure enough, the Palace of Versailles does not give any preferential entrance to the museum pass. I heard that the palace of Versailles costs money to visit, but the gardens are free like Fontainebleau, so I went to the gardens to take a look. What was the result?

There was also a queue at the entrance to the garden. It turned out that when there was a "special exhibition" in the garden, a separate fee would be charged. It can be said that not only An Chuyu and An Qingju, but all the tourists looked around helplessly. Seeing a few Chinese people hiding in the porch of a building to cool off, An Chuyu and An Qingju approached them and asked if they were here to have fun by themselves.

The group from Baoding said the tour guide was "very smart" as he brought them here before 8 o'clock. They walked around the garden first and rushed in as soon as the door opened. Several Chinese people comforted An Chuyu and An Qingju. "Since we are here, we have to queue up. It would be a shame if we don't go in.

An Chuyu and An Qingju looked at it and it only took an hour and a half to get in." An Chuyu and An Qingju were speechless for a while, thanked them, turned around and went back to take the train back to the city.

Summary. Versailles Palace is to Paris what the Summer Palace is to Beijing, and it is a popular tourist attraction in the suburbs. You must be mentally prepared to visit during the peak tourist season. At this time, An Chuyu and An Qingju, after experiencing the Louvre and the streets of Paris, already knew that "Paris, An Chuyu will come back", so they left this little regret to make up for it next time.

After returning to the city from the unsuccessful visit to Versailles, the two of us wandered to the Invalides. I didn't plan carefully before, and thought that the Invalides was just for seeing Napoleon's coffin, but I didn't expect it to be so big. There are n museums inside at the same time - it made full use of the museum pass. I actually spent the day directly in the Invalides.

There is no place to rest inside the Invalides, no plants, and stone buildings everywhere. But outside the Invalides, there is a large lawn as usual. On the road next to the lawn, there are several tourist buses stopping. Many young tourists, like An Chuyu and An Qingju, are "picking" on the grass while waiting for the tourist buses.

I spread out the food and ate it in the warm sunshine, and then I didn’t feel the weight on my back! — It’s on my back anyway, so why didn’t I feel it was heavy?

The Invalides was originally a "retirement home" for disabled soldiers built by order of Louis XIV. After entering the north gate, you will see the Courtyard of Honor, a rectangular square surrounded by two-story buildings. The buildings on both sides are the French military museums. To the west is the ancient museum of weapons and armor, to the east is the modern museum from Louis XIV to Napoleon III, and to the south is the World War Museum.

This military museum is also divided into many sub-exhibition halls; by the way, there is also a very special map model sand table museum, which displays military fortress sand tables made in the past. The Invalides provides an audio guide device, which costs 6 euros to rent. All the exhibition halls in the Invalides are introduced in Chinese. It is made with an iPod, which is very good.

Just be careful. If the visit takes a long time, don't forget to check whether the battery is sufficient when you pick up the guide device. Let's talk about the church where Napoleon's coffin is placed. The dome church is very eye-catching. You can see its golden dome from a long distance, hence the name.

It was a church before, but it was renamed the "Temple of Mars" during the French Revolution. The coffins of the "national heroes" in the hearts of the French, the revolutionary marshals, were placed here for people to pay their respects. Here are the French marshals, Viscount Turenne, and Vauban.

For foreigners, these people are not very familiar. The most familiar thing is Napoleon’s coffin placed in the center of the church.

We won't talk about Napoleon's merits and demerits here. If you don't know, you can imagine it yourself. After Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, he was exiled to St. Helena in the Atlantic Ocean and died there. 19 years later, when Louis Philippe of the July Monarchy of France was in power, in order to win the hearts of the people, he sent warships to St. Helena to bring back Napoleon's remains.

According to the audio guide, the government decided that it would be best to place his coffin in the dome church of the Invalides together with other "national heroes". So they ordered people to rebuild the church, sink the ground of the church to create a rotunda for the coffin, and put white marble reliefs around the rotunda to praise Napoleon's life achievements.

It is said that on the day when the coffin was brought back, the people of Paris came out in droves, and countless people braved the severe cold and snow to escort the coffin through the Arc de Triomphe that Napoleon had started to build but never saw until his death, and headed to the Invalides on the banks of the Seine. He got what he wanted because he had a will.

"Ann Chuyu wishes that her body will lie by the Seine River, among the French people whom she loved so much."

When visiting the Dome Church and Napoleon's coffin, I saw a group of veterans visiting here. I didn't know what kind of army they were from their uniforms, and I couldn't understand what they were saying in French. But An Chuyu thought that such scenes should be seen often here.

The sandbox museum is dark, but the sandboxes are really lifelike! Since the purpose of making these sandboxes is to prepare for war, the contents of the sandboxes are mainly fortresses or military fortresses. There is also the famous Chateau d'If.

As you come out of the Invalides, you will see the bridge with four golden pillars at the Grand Exhibition Hall. It is very eye-catching.

I have talked about many shopping routes in Paris before, and An Chuyu and An Qingju have almost walked through them all. The route I am talking about today is probably a must-visit route for tourists, which is equivalent to the "** Square-Wangfujing-Jingshan-Houhai" line in Beijing.

Repeat the route. Start from the Arc de Triomphe? Walk along the Champs-Elysées and look at the high-end shops on both sides? Then go to the Place de la Concorde, walk along the north wall of the Louvre? Go north to the Place Vendôme, look at the luxurious hotels around? The magnificent Paris Opera House? Go to Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department store.

I took the subway to the Arc de Triomphe, and when I came out, there were dark clouds above my head and heavy rain was about to fall.

Although it was about to rain, the Arc de Triomphe was just like the Plaza de Armas, full of tourists who were still in high spirits. In the midst of the chaos, An Chuyu and An Qingju found a man from Northeast China to take a group photo of them. I thought I would find a man who would have better photography skills and would know how to frame the photo. I really should have bought a selfie gadget online.

There are Arc de Triomphes all over Europe. I heard there are more than 100 of them (human cognition is very close), but this one is well marketed, it is the most famous, and it is also the largest. Please feel free to explore the sculptures, meanings, etc. on it, they are all explained very clearly.

Today, the Arc de Triomphe can be regarded as the largest "roundabout sculpture" in Paris. Surrounding it are twelve radiating streets, and all cars are circling around this roundabout. It is spectacular and also a test for drivers.

The museum pass includes access to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, so don't miss it, it's worth a visit. However, the spiral staircase to the top is very narrow, and your nose will hit the heel of your shoe when you go upstairs, and you have to be careful not to step on the hood of someone else's hoodie when you go downstairs.

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

When we reached the top, it started to rain outside as heavy as noodles. Fortunately, An Chuyu and An Qingju had sun-proof jackets and umbrellas to protect against the rain, otherwise they would not have been able to stand out and look after reaching the top.

Even with an umbrella and a coat, An Chuyu and An Qingju were still soaked. The rain in France in summer comes suddenly, and it is even more important to remind future tourists to bring rain gear with them. An Chuyu and An Qingju struggled to identify the Eiffel Tower (which was easy to identify) and the Champs Elysees (which really needed a map to point out).

The planning of Paris is really good. Standing on the Arc de Triomphe, you can basically see the whole city of Paris. Except for the Eiffel Tower and the "Montparnasse Tower" next to the apartment where An Chuyu and An Qingju live, other buildings are about the same height.

An Chuyu had seen a very good French cartoon called "A Cat in Paris". In the film, the thief Nick always ran around on the roofs of long apartment buildings in Paris. An Chuyu and An Qingju personally looked down at these roofs and felt that running wildly on the roofs of apartment buildings was also a Parisian style of romance.

After coming down from the Arc de Triomphe, Paris changed its face again. It was sunny! This was good, just convenient for An Chuyu and An Qingju to continue shopping. So An Chuyu and An Qingju found the Champs Elysees and walked along it. After walking only a hundred meters, the sky was already blue, and soon there were white clouds. This is a typical photo of the Champs Elysees.

There are countless famous shops on this street, and there are also countless tourists like An Chuyu and An Qingju on the roadside; some are frantically shopping with large and small bags, while others are like An Chuyu and An Qingju who come with nothing but shopping and chatting.

But there are some tourists who like to do things - and they are not all Chinese here, there are people from all over the world - they have to run into the middle of the road, strike an exaggerated pose for their companions to take pictures, and then run back across three lanes laughing.

An Chuyu didn't know if such people had ever been driving on a similar street and met someone like this. Anyway, An Chuyu would give the middle finger to such people when he saw them while driving. In fact, they were just strolling on the side of the road. If they had money, they could go shopping in famous stores. If they didn't have money, wouldn't it be bad to just walk around?

You don't have to worry about having nothing to eat when walking on this street, nor do you have to worry too much about whether you want to eat "French style". There are all kinds of tourists, and there are also many street stalls. The most common ones are the ones selling crepes. The stalls are as big as our newsstands, and you can see one every few hundred meters. (To be continued...)
