travel starts with photography

Chapter 120 The first day in Paris, looking for a house

No matter what era it is in, it is often its landmark buildings that represent a city.

When mentioning Yanjing, people think of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.When it comes to New York, people think of the Statue of Liberty, and when it comes to Paris, the first thing that comes to mind is the Eiffel Tower.

Even many people only have the impression of this tower in France, the only city of Paris that accommodates the Eiffel Tower.

Today's Paris is not very face-saving, the sky is a bit gloomy, it's just early in the morning, but the visual environment is similar to when the sun is about to set at five or six in the evening, without the light of the setting sun.

However, the temperature is very suitable, and a woolen sweater and a coat can keep you warm.

Sitting in the bus and looking out the window, you can see tall iron towers from a long distance away. Residential houses and commercial streets are similar to those seen on the plane. They are low, but they are all modern houses, modern The style is different from the European cities that Chen Xing imagined.

No matter what he thought of Europe before, he finally saw the real one now, at least the real Paris.

The passengers on the bus talked a lot. At least half of the passengers were tourists from other places, and the rest were locals from France. How to distinguish them depends on the expressions on their faces. Those two or three people hugged each other and looked excited. Of course tourists have no doubts.

Those who look nostalgic, or keep their heads down and play with their mobile phones, are the French.

They have long been familiar with the surrounding scenery.

The iron tower was getting closer and closer, and soon the whole picture of the iron tower could not be seen from the window, which also showed that they had reached their destination.

After getting off the bus, they arrived at the park under the tower.

Chen Xing didn't know the name of this park, but it seemed to be a strip park, that is, the kind of urban park with many trees, good greenery, and many paths for people to walk.The Eiffel Tower is not in the middle of the park, but on the edge, near the Seine.

There are businesses under the iron tower, but not as many as Chen Xing thought.

Generally speaking, there must be many small business vendors in this kind of scenic spot, at least there are many places selling souvenirs, but the Eiffel Tower that Chen Xing saw today did not have such a scene, maybe it was too early?
However, there are a lot of tourists, scattered in this wide square.

Someone watched Chen Xing get off a car full of tourists, and a girl stepped forward and asked in fluent English: "Sir, do you need a travel guide? You only need to pay a small fee."

Chen Xing looked at his suitcase, shook his head and said, "No, at least not for the time being."

He has always believed that it is a foolish behavior to go to any scenic spot with a suitcase. Traveling is a kind of relaxing thing. When you are running around with a heavy package and are attracted by a building or a certain scenery, don’t you? Still have time to look at the suitcase next to you?

The gentleman at the airport taught Chen Xing a lesson on what it would be like to lose one's luggage abroad.

So he is going to find a hotel to live in first, and then come back with a camera to visit the world-famous Eiffel Tower.

but……

Chen Xing hasn't looked closely yet, but at least in his current position, the Eiffel Tower is a huge signal tower. The whole building is filled with industrial style, and somehow it has become the white moonlight in the hearts of countless foreign young people. The so-called romantic place.

The woman saw Chen Xing's thoughts from his behavior, and said:

"Sir, do you want to stay? The hotels near the Eiffel Tower are not too close. Many tourists like to live in the tower viewing rooms provided by travel software, but you must not believe it. Anywhere in Paris as long as the windows face The Eiffel Tower is a very good viewing room. I recommend you to live near the chtelet les halles station, which is the most important transportation hub in Paris. The underground is a transfer station for several lines, and the ground is a commercial center..."

Chen Xing looked at her squarely.

A girl who is about 20 years old and 1.7 meters tall, Europeans are the most beautiful at this age, and even in the next few years. As the saying goes, there are no ugly girls at 18, and they are the same at this age.

As for whether she will become an aunt in the future, it depends on how well she maintains her body.

The face is relatively delicate, clean, with light makeup, blue eyes, and brown hair tied into a ponytail for easy management.

"How much do you want?"

Chen Xing asked.

The girl said in surprise: "It only costs one hundred euros a day, sir. I know all the attractions in Paris and most of the routes. You will definitely find it worth the money."

"How much does a hotel in Paris cost for one night?"

"There are many good hotels near the station, Citadines is good, the price of a four-star hotel is about 175 Euros, and other nearby hotels are also between 170 Euros and 200 Euros. I recommend Citadines to you mainly because of this place It is a long-stay hotel with a dedicated kitchen, tableware, washing machine, iron and other living tools.”

After Chen Xing finished listening, he nodded and said, "Well, I should also need a tour guide, such as visiting a museum in Paris?"

"please believe me."

"Okay, you succeeded, please introduce me some more places to live."

Chen Xing went abroad for the first time, but he seemed extremely adaptable, and communicated with others very smoothly. This girl didn't even know that Chen Xing could speak French... Anyway, she was the one who spoke English first, and Chen Xing's English was just to cooperate with her.

Well, there is another advantage of this, if this girl talks about herself in French, he can understand it.

It seems that she is not a bad person, but she is thousands of miles away, and if something happens, no one can help her.

You can't be too careful.

The tour guide's name is Abel and he lives in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.

There are a total of 20 districts in Paris, which are slowly divided in the shape of a snail shell. In the middle, the smallest point in the middle of the snail shell is District 1, and then the numbers are slowly rotated, District 2, District 3 and so on.

According to Abel’s introduction, the 11th arrondissement is an ordinary residential area in Paris, and housing prices are relatively cheap compared to other areas. Many Parisians live here, while the 13th arrondissement is a Chinese district, where many Chinese live, Chinese supermarkets and Huaxia. There are many restaurants.

As for the hotel, Abel also said a lot.

Chen Xing mainly wanted to find a place to live with a reasonable price and a larger room size. It would be best to have a kitchen and other things, and the safety could be guaranteed.

This kind of place is really hard to find.

Want the best in everything, and the price is not expensive?
is it possible?
It is really possible. Abel recommended a software called Airbnb, which allows people to live in apartment-style houses at a relatively cheap price.

That is, homestay.

Chen Xing took a look. The houses looked good, and the location was good. The most important thing was that they were very cheap. It only cost 130 euros a night, and it was only about 1000 in Huaxia coins. Of course, this was also very expensive in Chen Xing’s opinion. But he wanted a better travel experience.

He doesn't like traveling poorly.
