法国巴黎浪漫之旅10-13 Apr'14 Paris - City of Romance

到巴黎的第一个印象就是地下铁旧旧的肮脏又臭；这里黑人与白人的对比是一比一。对我们这些亚洲人真的有点怕怕。在地铁里每个人的神情都很凝重不说话好像都很赶时间。身为游客的我们也紧张了起来不敢在地铁里大声说话。还没到之前听了很多流言蜚语。所以我们必定特别小心。

We heard a lot of bad things about Paris that's why we did a lot of survey & preparation before we came to this place. On the first arrival, we were stunned at the subway station. It was dirty & smelly at underground; we felt odd because we are the only yellow skin in the train. They don't talk too much in the train and everyone looked serious (maybe rushing to work). Race ratio in the city is about 1:1 white vs black. 

However, I'm still very obsessed with this place <<PARIS-City of Romance>>

其实这里并不恐怖，只是凡事都要小心扒手；尽量不带太多东西出门。就没事了！法国人其实并不冷漠（看地方=车站）语言方面英文就完全不行。我们去了一个当地早上的市场；里面就算是英文123也有问题。
Actually it was not so bad than what we heard. Just in case, you need to aware on the pick pocket at the crowded place and tourist area. Paris people are quite friendly but their English is worst than what we expected. Hahaha... they are not even understand one, two, three instead. Unbelievable!

民宿楼下星期三早上有早市场；看见很多当地人都来这里买东西而且都比较便宜！这里买东西都用来秤的（kg 包括食物）Morning market near my homestay; everything are cheap here!

这里的博物院跟剧场很多（星期六还要排队）对我这个不懂艺术的人来说就只能欣赏它的建筑物了。Artwork is not my cup of tea! What a waste?!

Louvre Museum 罗浮宫

这里有很多珍贵的名画还有雕像。我们有免费VIP进场票（我公司员工优惠）嘻嘻。。不用排队VIP入场。

闻名的蒙娜丽莎就是那么的远。。。可惜可惜！The Monalisa Portrait - so near yet so far

我们这种不文艺的家伙。在Lourve逛了２０分钟就出来了。怕在里面睡觉了。哈哈哈！拍照就厉害！浪费浪费～ We took 20min inside the Lourve because there are nothing for both of us. Hahaha...

圣心堂Basilique du Sacré Cœur
很庄严的大教堂‘入场是免费的；里面很美很宁静很舒服。但是不可以拍照。来这里的原因是为了看它的夜景。来到这里半个巴黎就在你眼前。建议：可以带啤酒坐在楼梯上欣赏特别有feel~
This is the only church we went in because the entrance is free admission. (No photo shooting inside) Purpose we went there is because of the scenery. Half of the Paris view is under your eye. Suggest to bring some beers and sit on the staircase to enjoy your time here.

My Camera Man 我的摄影师

Beautiful Scenery

晚上也很美

天气太冷；不然可以待久一点

Short Railway to Top 可以乘搭火车上山顶

LOCK BRIDGE 爱情锁桥
传说中的爱情锁桥。千万别找错因为有太多条了。真正的就在圣母院旁边。桥都是满满的锁头（应该都没有位子了） Lock Bridge - There are many lock bridges in Paris city. So you may get confused. The original one is just beside the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. We nearly missed it that time! This bridge already fully locked where you not even can find a place to lock it. Otherwise, you may bring the biggest lock (bicycle lock) to do that. Hahaha...

原本因为时间不够；想不去圣母院了；结果还是来了！可能是天注定；就这样到了晚上才知道爱情锁桥在这里！

我们的爱情锁在第三条新桥；希望有一天再回来找它吧！嘻嘻。。。We put our love lock at the 3rd bridge (I guess) Hope one day we can revisit it again!

其实巴黎—浪漫之都~它的一切一切都是围着埃菲尔塔Eff ie ​​Tower我们能够看着它从白天到天暗，看着它开灯到关灯。。。幸福~~~ 
Everything in Paris for me is just Effie Tower!

法国血拼篇:
到法国的第二天早上马上就出发去La Valee Village从城市出发大概要一个半小时的火车。贴士：这里的名牌都大概有四到五折左右。值得一提的就是Longchamp Outlet了！至于退税建议马上退现钱；然后可以把现钱用掉。如果用信用卡算起来不值得；因为要扣掉两边的兑换率还有时间比较久。而且退不退到就要看运气喽！Place to shop for cheap branded stuff, you need to go outlet village. La Valee Village - an hours plus journey by train. Worth to go for Longchamp outlet, it is more than 50% cheaper but not much design you can choose.

买名牌必去的：香谢大道Avenue des Champs Elysees 

来这里大家都会朝向那些高级的奢侈品像是LV & Chanel。他们从不打折；在这里大概会便宜个3-4折。贴士：Chanel包包一个护照只能买一个（别太贪心噢！）但是个人对Chanel的服务态度真的很失望；因为太多人要排队；服务生太现实如果你不是买贵的货品的话。他们脸色会不一样。糟糕！建议去CHANEL其他的旗舰店看看。应该都比这里的好很多！

来到这里如果不再LV的总行买件物品；绝对会让你过意不去！反而个人觉得LV的态度最好就算你不买他们还是比较随和。所以我倒回头买了两个。。嘻嘻！在这里买了名牌千万不要大摇大摆的逛出去。这样你就会变成坏人的目标了！最好把所有的战利品收起来或者包好。真的好像做贼一样。。。哈哈！
Avenue des Champs Elysees - It is a place must go for branded lover. LV & Chanel always the first choice for this place. But personally don't like Chanel service; they are too materialistic & run out of patient sometimes. LV customer service is still the best! That's why I brought more there. People who still insist to buy Chanel at Paris. I suggest to go their other branches; it is better. 

法国美食篇Food to eat in Paris

A) 法国蜗牛ESCARGOT
来到法国肯定要试试法国蜗牛。它的肉熟了之后是黑色的。。。嘻嘻！味道。。试了就懂！哈哈！记得趁热吃噢！
You never been in Paris if you didn't try their snail cuisine. Meat is black; taste weird. But worth to try! Taste better when you serve it hot. Haha...

芝士炬鸭胸Duck Breast

B) 法国面包SANDWICH & CROISSANT
法国的面包都很硬咬劲十足。在火车站买了个。发现当地人都会打包上车吃。这样一个面包夹个火腿片就一餐了。相比之下我们实在太奢侈了！还有最爱就是法国Croissant牛角包。外脆内软。好怀念噢！随便在超级市场买的又便宜又好吃! France sandwich a bit different at Malaysia; they are harder; we saw local people usually eat it while travelling in train. So simple to settle their one meal. Croissant is AWESOME at every where no matter where you buy. 

当街咬面包！爽！

PAUL MANSION
讲到面包一定要吃PAUL 他家的三文治很棒！我们外叫一杯热可可又浓郁又香。冷冷的天气喝这个真的太好了！这家其实很有名；在大大小小的地方都有分行。一定要试试！This is the bakery shop you will see every where in Paris. Should be very famous. Their sandwich is very different with their special sauce. I had ordered a hot coco and it was so nice! Good to have it in the cold weather.

C) 马卡龙LADUREE MACAROON
不知道这家是不是老店。可是我们被他的人隆给吸引。排队排到大街上了。其实这个糕点是他们贵族下午茶最爱（小的一个是欧元２块半）。味道口感其实跟我国的真的很不一样（感觉之前被骗了）法国的都很精致味道每一棵都不一样。这个就是一分钱一分货喽！We bumped into this shop just because of their queue was long enough to the main street at Avenue des Champs Elysees. Small size macaroon 2.50euro per piece; really for people who like "high" tea. Macaroon taste is more strong; and each one is special.  

真的很多人

看到五颜六色的马卡龙，是不是流口水了呢？！

D) 法国的烘焙店PATISSERIE
来到这里我无《包》不欢。他们的随便一间店都很好吃。我看到就买；在坐车上无聊就吃东西。不肥才怪！I love their bakery shop. I brought every where I saw. That's why make me gain weight.

看到这些哪里可能不蠢蠢欲动？！

E) MADAMME 早餐
在巴黎的最后一天的早餐吃了这个。不懂是不是望这铁塔吃就特别有Feel 其实是芝士炬面包加火腿跟鸡蛋。根本就是老外的最爱！Last breakfast I took in Paris. Cheese baked toast with egg & ham. Simple but taste really good. Maybe because of the Effie tower view :)

F) FINE DINING 烛光晚餐
记得来到巴黎一定要吃一顿fine dining才不枉此生（虽然很贵啦！）Fine dining Must Try once at your life although it is expensive!
 

好浪漫啊～～～ 小贴示：原来都是男生给钱的！服务生会把结账单反过来不被女生看到。然后男生给钱！哈哈哈FYI: The bill always pay by guy for their tradition. Great :)

G) 花瓣冰淇淋 AMORINO ICE CREAM
超美丽的都不舍得吃 后悔没叫他全部味道都要Nothing more than its look. Regret should ask them to put all favours in.

巴黎民宿篇：Home Stay at Paris
Selina Homestay euro 60 per night 这里的民宿都是要连续入住4晚一晚60块欧元
Email: boubouche@hotmail.com
喜欢这里因为比较方便靠近火车站还有步行5分钟就到巴黎塔。它位于第一区也比较平静安全。我们半夜一两点还在逛也都还好！民宿老板娘很直爽随和。喜欢！Most of the homestay only accept 4 nights rent and it is cheaper. This home stay is very near to train station and 5 minutes walking distance to Effie tower. Besides, it is located at section no.1 which is more peaceful and safe. Nothing happened to us when we were still walked around this area at the midnight. 

屋主把客厅变成房间。天气冷幸好有棉被！

民宿老板娘LIZA人很爽快直率。给我们不少的建议！喜欢～～～ Friendly owner taught us a lot about Paris culture.

民宿一下来就是大街很热闹。直走2分钟就会看到铁塔！嘻嘻！

 来到结尾：一定要提一提的就是：　
巴黎的夜景你绝对会终生难忘！我们看着看着。。。在１：０５早上美丽的它在此刻关灯了Everything in Paris about Effie tower for me. This is the off-light show at 1.05am. So romantic~~~

期待下集。。。狂野的伦敦To be continue.... London, England
