清无梓境:“🌟 Paris stroll: a city romantic code, how many people do not know Paris, this name knows this building, in the textbooks to read the ugly bell ringer has increased the mystery of the biological Notre Dame, Paris must punch in the red location. The interior has not yet opened, and the exterior is still under maintenance. 🗼 Notre Dame Cathedral is under maintenance, and the people who come to punch in are still endless, just to witness the truth. It reopened in September. You can make an online reservation for the Seine River at night like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The beauty is unspeakable.”

Anonymous user:“It is worth climbing the stairs to walk up, where you can see many different scenery and surprises. The only drawback is that it is very tiring and there are not enough toilets. There are many tourists, and it is really painful to queue for a long time and there are many people in the toilets on the ground during cleaning time. Otherwise, this attraction is really super beautiful and worth visiting again and again in different seasons.”

发面君:“Architectural style: The Louvre is divided into two parts, the old building in the Louis XIV period, the new building in the Napoleonic era. The main entrance of the Louvre is a glass pyramid, its designer is the famous Chinese American architect Pei Yuming. Collection: The Louvre Museum is one of the three major museums in the world, and its rich variety of art collections and high artistic value are unimaginable. The museum has 400,000 artworks, including sculpture, painting, art and crafts and seven categories, including ancient Oriental, Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece and Rome.”

学校🏫:“Seine River: Is it worth going? Highlights and pitfalls Is it worth going? The soul artery of Paris! A natural viewing corridor open to the public for free, but walking alone is a bit monotonous - it is worth the time to combine it with a boat or bike ride. Exclusive highlights: 1. Golden view of the cruise ship: -Watch the Eiffel Tower twinkle every hour on the sunset route, and the moment you look down at the bridge hole is romantic and divine. The fly boat (Bateaux Mouches) has a full glass roof and unlocks the silhouettes of 10 major landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Orsay Museum. 2. Left Bank literary rampage: - Find 1900s antique posters at the Green Box second-hand book stall. Although the padlocks of the Art Bridge have been removed, the bronze sculptures are still in production. - Squat at the Marie Bridge, the same railway bridge hole as in "Inception". 3. Locals' way of playing: - Picnic on Swan Island, red wine with baguettes, and the tower light reflected on the water surface on summer nights is like broken diamonds. - Take a cyberpunk movie on the graffiti wall in the tunnel under the new bridge. Tips to avoid pitfalls: - Choose a cruise after 18:00! The reflection is serious during the day, the night view is the best; - Be wary of the "free bracelet" scam (a common trick on the riverside); - The stone steps on the river bank are slippery, wear non-slip shoes; - Some docks will be restricted during the Olympic Games in August, so check the official website in advance. Summary: The Seine River is a mobile postcard of Paris. A 30-yuan boat ticket allows you to see the thousand-year splendor of both sides of the river. A three-piece set of hiking + boating + picnic will make you understand why Hemingway said "Paris is a moveable feast". (Word count: 198) 🚲 Secret route: Rent a shared bicycle from the Sully Bridge, ride along the "Paris Beach" dedicated lane (artificial beach open in summer), and go directly to Berthillon, an ice cream shop in the alley behind Notre Dame.”

138***81:“The meeting point is easy to find. If you want to take the 9:30 pm boat, you should line up an hour in advance. There are a lot of people on the boat. The parade lasts for more than an hour. You can see the exterior buildings such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Les Invalides. You will cross more than a dozen bridges. People scream under the bridges and wave to people on both sides. It is a good atmosphere. There is no light show on both sides. It is worth visiting if it is cheap.”

We need to be reminded that there are many people on the cruise ship, so we need to arrive 30 minutes early, otherwise we have to wait for the next one.”

没有蜡olling:“Le Pre Catelan in the Bois de Boulogne is known as the best among the ten Mi San restaurants in Paris. It is surrounded by green trees and is quiet and comfortable. Chef Frédéric Anton is very popular in France and is known as the "national chef". The actual experience is quite mediocre. The dishes are of three-star level but not outstanding. Sweetbread is well processed, and the dessert "Green Apple" is quite interesting with popping candy in it. My friend said that the service of this restaurant is the worst among the three-star restaurants in Paris, but I disagree. In terms of cost performance, it is not bad among the three-star restaurants in Paris~”

没有蜡olling:“When you come to L'Escargot Montorgueil, you must try the appetizer of snails. The first recommended one is the traditional flavor "Burgundy snail (Escargot de Bourgogne)", which is mashed parsley + garlic + special butter seasoning. They also have cheese, curry, foie gras and truffle flavored snails. There is also a kind of "golden snail", which is also a traditional flavor, but the size is two circles larger than the ordinary one! Youyoujun strongly recommends the big "golden snail"! It is really golden! Finally, you have to dip the baked small bread sticks in the sauce that flows out, which is the finishing touch.”

Daniel Child:“The most shocking event in the French restaurant industry in 2016 was that the same chef's two new restaurants won two Michelin stars and one Michelin star just over a year after opening. His "great achievements" are by no means luck. He was born into a culinary family. In 1988, when he was 7 years old, his father's L'Ambroisie restaurant, located opposite Hugo's former residence, won three Michelin stars. It has the longest record of holding three stars in Paris so far, and it is also the only restaurant among the ten three-star restaurants that adheres to traditional French cuisine. He began to learn from different famous chefs in many restaurants at the age of 15, and returned to his father at the age of 22 to continue the family's three-star myth. It was not until 2014 that he decided to "go solo" - to open a restaurant with his own generation's style. Hexagone is his new interpretation of traditional French cuisine in the language of young people. For example, the French love leeks (Chinese people always think that they are just side dishes for seasoning, but they can be the protagonist in French cuisine) and seasonal black truffles are stir-fried together; duck breasts are paired with dried fruits and honey; the traditional cream sauce with rice wine is paired with flounder, which gives the visual effect of Shaoxing rice wine steamed fish. Black Forest cake and traditional cheese strawberry Vachelin are both re-deconstructed. Deconstruction is the keyword of Hexagone, which can be seen from the menu. The names of the dishes are disassembled, and the methods, main ingredients and side dishes are written separately. The contemporary restaurant has a spacious space, and the view outside the window is "incompatible" with the "old-fashioned" traditional 16th district. Most of them are elderly local diners. The choice of wine is also rich enough, with thousands of varieties. For Chinese people who come to Paris to travel and want to eat traditional French food in a modern way, this restaurant will not disappoint you. Dinner with three courses is 90 euros, and lunch is 49 euros, which is very cost-effective.”

二十画生JQK:“When I come to Paris, the food that pops into my mind is: snails, foie gras and steak. When I visited Paris again in May this year, I ate at a Michelin restaurant Da Wei Fu Restaurant Lunch/dinner set menus or a la carte options are available. Equipped with Chinese menu, ps There are no prices on the women’s menu, only the men’s menus have prices. The restaurant is decorated with sophisticated decoration, exquisite tableware and butter boxes. Picture ⑥ Appetizer 1 Black Truffle Foie Gras Dumpling 98€/portion 6 pieces, which my friend and I shared equally. The first bite of foie gras is unparalleledly plump. It's delicious because the dumpling filling is a whole piece of plump and delicate oily liver. Can be eaten By the time I took the third one, I was so tired that I vomited... That's right... I immediately vowed to do it again in this life. I don’t want to eat foie gras anymore. I admire the French people’s ability to eat foie gras. Picture ⑦ My main dish was creative fried steak, and I also liked the side dishes. No But I prefer the lamb ribs that my friend ordered because the foie gras was followed by fried beef. The steak was really a bit boring... I forgot to take a photo of my friend's main course, which was lamb. The ribs have a radish in the middle, which removes the fishy smell from the mutton and gives it a refreshing taste. Very Wonderful Picture 8 Desserts... soufflé, French pudding, jelly fudge, macarons, and more There are some desserts that I can’t name. French desserts are too sweet for me Okay...Although I love sweets...these ones in France are a bit too sweet. Yes. But they are all given away... Just forget about calories when you eat.”

No matter how much I hate Michelin, Diners should also be pleasantly surprised. But after the shopping, I no longer want it anymore = I have gained a lot of weight.”

翱翔的大鲨鱼:“Many restaurants in Paris are open for lunch and dinner, but this restaurant is open 24 hours a day. The restaurant is famous for its pork dishes. We recommend the French onion soup, crispy fried pork trotter mixed with snail meat, and the large version of pork ribs that are cooked for 14 hours. The onion soup is good, but the addition of puff pastry makes me feel full. The pork trotter is fried with snail meat. It is fragrant and crispy. The main character, pork ribs, is soft after slow cooking, and the sauce is also tasty, but the portion is still a bit large.”
