France travel journal

We had to postpone our departure from the hotel again and again because the last two days were getting late and German drivers had to rest for 12 hours a day. So, I coordinated with the German driver to leave at 9 o 'clock yesterday.
However, there are many problems. As a matter of fact, we emphasize safety from the training before the trip. We should remind every day when we start or stop the train. So there are some things that are happening that are a warning to all of us.
We packed our luggage before 9 o 'clock and waited for the driver to leave. At this time, a boy reported that the carry-on bag could not be found, there was money in it, fortunately did not lose the certificate. The tour guide and the teachers on the team acted quickly to help contact the hotel and then go to the room and restaurant. Ask the German driver to open the luggage compartment door and open the child's suitcase to see if it is loaded into the luggage. The boy in the same room found his luggage to see if it was mixed up.
However, a second inspection failed to find it. After asking about the child in detail, the guide left a phone call to the hotel, and the hotel would inform us as soon as there was any news. And germans have always been honest.
Tour guides and accompanying teachers have again stressed the need for children to be warned, while reiterating that the situation in France, especially Paris, is more complicated. Because Paris is the capital of France, the capital of Europe and the capital of the whole world. Therefore, people from seven continents and four oceans all over the world like to visit Paris and shopping. People from the French colonies, eastern Europe, north Africa, the Middle East, west Asia and so on, flocked to Paris in search of development. Thieves around the world are also looking for opportunities in Paris. Therefore, we must always be vigilant, strictly observe discipline, strictly guard against thieves, remind each other, and ensure the safety of people and property.
Do what we can. Let's go.
The route from Germany to Paris was dominated by plains and hills. Although not through the forest, the window is still mainly green color. Europe's green is not decorative, not decorative, but thick green. Obviously, greening does not lie in the thickness of trees, but also in the density of greening design, the collocation of trees, shrubs and grasses.
About 20 minutes later, the bus began to enter France, because we found that the bus became bumpy. It turned out that the road condition in France was obviously not as good as that in Germany. Except for the poor road conditions, the whole expressway is clean, clean and comfortable. There are no various political slogans and warnings on the domestic expressway.
As soon as it entered France, the motorway began to charge. It is said that only French and Italian highways are charged in Europe. However, the first toll station was unattended. You can put money in, you can swipe a card, you can put money out. Therefore, a lot of labor costs are saved. Moreover, the next few toll stations are not blocked.
Along the highway, there are farms and villages. Most of the crops in the fields have been harvested, piled up in stone and ground like haystacks, as well as square ones. Some fields are being ploughed or sown, and the tractors are busy, not the French farmers. And the French town with white walls and red tiles is still attractive, romantic and beautiful.
Towards noon, we came out of the rest area. One girl reported that her minibar had been left in the rest room with an ipad and a wallet. How to do? No contact number. Could you ask another bus of your own to take a look? The guide said they left earlier and ran ahead of us. You have to go to the next rest area. Entering the rest area, the guide and the accompanying teacher coordinate with the child. I asked the staff of the service area to ask about the situation of the former service area, and contacted the French police. I tried my best, but there was no good news.
After waiting more than an hour, let's eat first. The French fast food in the motorway lounge is cold, the bread is dry and hard, and the meat and food in it are frozen. It seems that the children are not used to what they eat.
Hit the road again. A boy reported finding the key to the Berlin hotel in the car. A 35-euro fine has been paid for leaving Berlin after failing to find a room key. Along with the team teacher can only say kindly, then stay as a memorial. The continuous situation makes the guide and the teacher on the team very nervous. We can only remind you again. Again, the closer we get to the end of the journey, the more alert we need to be.
At about 3:30 p.m., the driveway was turned into five lanes, approaching Paris. Through the Paris loop, the rich French style of architecture became increasingly dense. The roads into the city are getting more and more crowded. After heading left and right, we stopped at union square. Walk along the concord square and admire the fountains, statues and fallen leaves of the sycamore trees, as well as the famous obelisk. Then she turned and headed down the champs-elysees, admiring the most beautiful streets of Paris and heading for the arc DE triomphe.
Close to the arc DE triomphe, more and more brand stores. We also feel the romance of France, the fashion of Paris and the amorous feelings of Paris at any time.
Some students are in a hurry. They see the WC sign next to them. There were a lot of people in line and the charge was very clear, 2 euros per person. We can only admire that Paris is a place of high consumption, a place where the rich of the world come to concentrate their consumption.
The triumphal arch arrives, because backlight, had to cancel group photo plan. They followed the guide through the underground passage to the arc DE triomphe, where they could enjoy the magnificent buildings, the exquisite sculptures and the wisdom of napoleon's 12 marshals and 384 generals. The fire of the nameless martyrs has not died out for a long time. When we left, we met the honor guard and the military band. It seems that some leaders came to visit us, but we were too busy to wait.
It's close to the Eiffel Tower by bus. Because of the late time, the group tickets have been stopped for sale. Everyone queued to buy tickets to visit. Fortunately, there were not many people. Take the diagonal elevator to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, with a panoramic view of Paris. From a distance, white. We searched carefully for the direction of the triumphal arch and could see only small figures. The beautiful Seine, boats weave. People admire the beauty of Paris and feel the romance of France. When we left by car, the Eiffel Tower turned on the lights and looked over again.
Knowing in advance that the Chinese restaurants near the Eiffel Tower are horrible to eat, it is not surprising that restaurants in the most prosperous areas are crowded and have no intention of ensuring quality. The group teacher and the guide discussed, and suggested to go back to the hotel first and find a restaurant near the hotel.
The French hotel is in good condition. Everyone put down their luggage and set off in a concentrated way. The guide asked the hotel front desk for details about the surrounding hotels and began to lead the search. It was dark, and in the direction indicated by the hotel reception desk, how could I not see it? We met some enthusiastic French girls and greeted us in Chinese. We asked them quickly, but we couldn't say it clearly.
Back at the hotel, the service staff downstairs asked us if we would come for dinner. We said we would like a pizza restaurant or a hamburger. When two handsome French guys asked us for more details, they immediately called the pizza shop and led us through the overpass of the road. It was like a maze, down to the overpass. The French guy sent us to the pizzeria, and we couldn't help but applaud and express our thanks. We met a live thunderhead in France!
The pizza place is beautifully decorated and large enough. The dinner was rich, pizza, pasta, all kinds of drinks. In order for the children to eat well, the school proposed to subsidize them on the standard of group meals.
On the first day of Paris, there was a sudden accident that made people alert, a touching story that made people sad, a beautiful scenery that made people linger on, and we all left a deep memory.
Today, we visit the palace of Versailles, the Louvre and Notre Dame. Wish everything goes well!
