Journey…. My favorite word .. Here, for example, most recently went to France, to the city of romance - Paris. Say, when I was first time in this city, he did not like me. Somehow it was all cloudy and boring .... And the reason was that near me there were no normal people who could correctly show the city and most importantly do it with some enthusiasm. So the second time I decided to do it my own way.
In order to see all the most famous places in Paris, I and my friends decided to choose a two-story excursion bus, on the second floor there was no roof and everything could be perfectly contemplated. In addition, there were headphones in Russian to understand what is at stake. At each stop we went out, we could spend as much time as we needed, and waited for the next bus. Thus, we comfortably traveled all the sights. In the Cathedral of Notre Dame, you can not take pictures, but you can hire a guide to talk about the features of the architecture inside the building. One of the most important in my opinion is the dignity of Paris - this is the Louvre. But it is necessary to know that it is better not to visit it on weekends. During this period, a lot of people wishing to visit it, so the queue is very long and you can stand for several hours in a row.The Eiffel Tower is just a highlight. This design includes cozy restaurants and, of course, the most important extraordinary landscapes. It is best to take photographs when there is no rain, because the wind is blowing at the top of the tower, in fact, you are, as it were, in the open air. In winter, the Eiffel Tower has an ice rink. In the evening near the Tower local youth with an unusual appearance represents street dances. The charge of positive energy is guaranteed. If you want to buy souvenirs, do not write it off near souvenir shops. If you rise above the Eiffel Tower you can see black guys who sell various souvenirs. With him you can bargain, I personally bought 5 pieces of trinkets in the form of a tower for 1 euro. In addition, they can withdraw you to the side and show different types of handbags and perfume at a very cheap price, but it's better not to succumb to provocation, as these are stolen things and the local police keeps a clear control over them.
The most desirable place for women of fashion is of course the Champs Elysees. In this part of the city there are so many cosmetics that you just envy. In these stores you can buy the most popular brands at a very affordable price. Every month new collections come, so the old ones are reduced in price. In addition, even if there is a small defect in the packaging or appearance of the product, it is immediately placed in special baskets with a 50% discount.
If you stroll along the embankment of the Seine you can see many exhibitions of paintings for every taste, artists give special accent to different places of interest in Paris. There is an opportunity to order a picture that I liked in any size and frame. For her savings, too, you can not worry, because everything is neatly packaged.
Between day and evening there is a great contrast, everything becomes much brighter, the illuminations come from almost every building and the whole city comes to life. It turns out just fantastic pictures.
Now let's talk about Lourdes. This is a very religious place in France. People come here with various diseases and defects. To go the legend, that to the two little children the Most Holy Theotokos appeared, created a small source, and said at this place to build a temple. Since then, there is built a whole town, where you can spiritually enjoy interrupting. Every evening, the Lord's service takes place with special flashlights to show how many people came to pray together. There is a building where local monks make spiritual cleansing - swimming in the cold with dipping. This ritual is special, because during this they say prayers for salvation. Also built a lot of bronze sculptures, and there is a godparent way, where you can go through all the stations and feel the unity with God. In addition, along the whole length of this town, there are cranes with holy water, where you can dial for yourself and your loved ones. Nearby are souvenir shops with various images of the Virgin including. and bottles for holy water. Impressions unforgettable, I advise everyone to visit France!
