Short Break at Paris
Tuesday, July 18, 2006
I take some time off last week, been to Prague then Paris. Friends was asking how was the Paris trip, so I post my Paris photos first. Spent 3 days 2 nights in Paris.
I must say, Paris is too commercialize, not really my type of place, it's a city after all. Language is another problem for me. Most French don't speak English, not very tourist friendly... Even the Resturant's menu in French.. too bad, I didn't try any serious French cuisine due to that.
I don't like to travel in summer, the weather was too hot.
When travel to western european country, there isn't many thing that I can do. Just visit to museum, church and monument.
Arc De Triomphe l'Etoile
Fountain at Place de la Concorde
Jardin Des Tuileries
Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre
The view from Montmartre
The legendary Moulin Rouge
Place De La Republique(The stature is Napoleon I)
Fountain in front of the Centre Pompidou
Palais Du Luxembourg
Notre Dame
Hôtel National des Invalides
Use the stair case to go up Eiffel TowerThis picture taken from 1st floor, 8:30pm
The sun set very late, probably 10:30pm

Tour Eiffel is gorgeous at night
Musée d'Orsay at night
I think this is the most beautiful of Paris, Musée du Louvre
My last day in Paris, the weather was hot, lazy to go out.Spend a day in Louvre Museum, met Mona Lisa (by Leonardo da Vinci), Venus de Milo (probably by Alexandros of Antioch) and many more
Food is what I've missed off, due to language problem. This is one of my meal.Duck pâté as starter
Main course is half chicken in french tarragon sauce
Dessert is Chocolate Mousse10 comments:

Wow! Looks good. Too bad u did not try the pastry shops in Paris - they have a few yummy ones.

boo_licious: oh ya, their pastry not bad. I did try few, can't remember the name, and certainly didn't snap any picture. ;)
rachel: Actually I want to mean it's "too city". Just like you walk on the street in KL, shop is everywhere and most of the shop are not interesting. :p
