Paris is famous for its fashion and art. It's said that the world chase the tide, only Paris makes the trend. Paris always have all kinds of fashion and artistic exhibitions. Sometimes you walk into an alley of Latin district or Le Marais district, you are likely to find some independent designers fashion show and personal art museum.

巴黎以文艺著称，都说全世界都追逐潮流，只有巴黎制造潮流。巴黎总是有各种时尚文艺活动上演，随便走进拉丁区和玛黑区的某个巷子里，都有可能撞见某个独立设计师的小型秀场，也有可能撞见某个艺术展。

We met a small art fair in Le Marais district, there were many artists selling their fantastic works.

我们在巴黎就遇见了一个小型的艺术展，有许多艺术家参与，参观者看见喜欢的作品也可以买入。

There was also a small bar, visitor can take a rest there and artists can communicate with each other.

艺术展里有水吧供人休息，艺术家们也可以一起交流。

Because my friend from China has very short holidays, so we just stayed in Paris for two days. After quickly visit Le Marais, we went to Louvre Museum.

因为基友假期较短，我们在巴黎也只呆两天，所以逛了一会玛黑区就急忙赶去了卢浮宫。

It was my first time in the Louvre museum. Although I know the art collections of the Louvre museum are unique and world top, I still feel waiting in long line and taking pictures among the crowds makes visitors hardly feel the real beauty of arts.

这是我第一次去卢浮宫，虽然我知道卢浮宫的艺术藏品都是世界顶级的，更是独一无二的，但我总觉得排长队和一群人一起拥挤拍照很难感受到艺术品的真正魅力。我们这次也是因为时间有限，只在外面拍了些照片。

The pyramid of the Louvre was designed by a Chinese-American architect. This modern architecture surrounded by old classic buildings make the blend of classic and modern combination.
It also become another landmark in Paris.

卢浮宫的玻璃金字塔由华裔建筑师贝聿铭设计完成，在四周古典建筑的辉映下不但不突兀，更显反衬出它的现代美感，成为巴黎的又一座地标。

There are also many small bookshops around the train station in Paris.
巴黎火车站附近有许多这样的开放式小书店。
