The most popular movie now is probably the Da Vinci Code. I'm sure a lot of people wd wan to go Paris after watching Da Vinci Code - Esp Louvre Museum haha.
So next travel review: France Part (1) - Seine River, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame and Champs Elysees.
Siene River
Above: Seine River + Paris City: Seine river, the main route of transportation and protection for Paris long time ago.
Notice that there are no tall buildings in Paris? Ya French hates to copy oth cities. Therefore, they created a city w/o high rise buildings
Every building in Paris City is very well designed.Just take a look at the picture below
Nice design rite? Every building in Paris is so exquisitely designed. Road side stalls.
Notre Dame. This famous gothic Cathedral took 200 years to construct! Its a must go!! Because the cathedral is very beautiful.
Louvre Museum. Its so so so big that U cant finish looking thru all their art exhibits in one full day!
The pyramid was designed by some Chinaman if I'm not wrong.Arc De Triumph @ Champs Elysees. The arch was to commemorate Napoleon's victories. The Arc De Triumph was completed by Louis Philippe.
France is really a very very nice city.. I mean, a city with beautiful buildings, a city with artistic cultures.. I will definitely visit France again - if I haf the $ and time. Haha.
Living @ France:
Cost of Living - Damn expensive. A Mcdonald Value meal cost S$12+ and usually, a meal cost ard S$20. But hey, there is this place in Paris City - called Montmarte - where u can get yr meals at a cheaper price. ard S$10+
Transport - Transport fare is reasonable. ard S$1+ per ride. Coz transport fares is heavily subsidised by their govt. Their subway lines are so so so confusing. There are so many lines. So be extra cautious.
Exchange rate: 1Euro = S$2
Will tell u more abt France in my France Part 2 updates....
