This ancient castle has eight towering and strong fortresses, which were originally built to resist the British invasion. From 1380 to 1422, the castle was changed into a royal prison. The whole castle covers an area of 2670 square meters, surrounded by tall and thick stone walls and eight towers more than 30 meters high. Dig a deep ditch with a width of 24 meters around and set up a suspension bridge to get in and out. As early as16th century, political prisoners were imprisoned here, and Voltaire, a French enlightenment thinker, was imprisoned here twice. In the eyes of the French people, the Bastille has become a symbol of French feudal autocracy. 1On July 3rd, 989, the people of Paris revolted. 19 captured the Bastille on June 4th, which started the French Revolution. In 79 1 year, the people of Paris demolished the Bastille, built the Bastille Square on the old site, and laid the removed stones on the Concorde Bridge on the Seine River for the use of passers-by. 1830, the French people built a monument to martyrs in the center of the square to commemorate the July Revolution. This monument to the martyrs is 52 meters high. The main body of the monument is a cylinder made of bronze, called the July cylinder. At the top of the column is a statue of Liberty with golden wings, and the torch is held high in the right hand. The broken chain in its left hand symbolizes freedom. There is a sign in front of the prison that says: Let's dance here! 1June, 880, France designated July, the day when the people of Paris captured the Bastille, as the French National Day. LePantheon, located in the Latin quarter on the left bank of the Seine River in the center of Paris, was built in 179 1, which is a temple to permanently commemorate famous French historical figures.

Because this modern building looks like a factory, it is also called an oil refinery and a cultural factory. This modern building with novel design and unique shape was decided by the late President Pompidou in 1969. 1972 was officially started, 1977 was completed, and it was opened in February of the same year. The whole building covers an area of 7,500 square meters, with a building area of 654.38+10,000 square meters and 6 floors above ground.

The square was built in 1757, which was based on the design of the famous architect Cabril. Because there is a statue of Louis XV in the center of the square, it was named Louis XV Square (1763). During the Great Revolution, it was renamed Revolution Square GT; In 795, it was renamed Concorde Square, which was renovated by the famous architect Hitofer, and finally reached its present scale at 1840.

This is a famous cultural relic that Louis Philippe moved from Luxor, Egypt in 183 1. The ancient words on the monument recorded the deeds of Pharaoh Ramses II. There is a fountain on each side of the stone tablet. The exquisite carving of the pool is also the work of Hittopher. There are eight statues around the square, symbolizing eight cities that have played an important role in French history: Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rouen, Brewster, Lille and Strasbourg. During the revolution in 793, the people of Paris rose up.
The Champs Elysé es starts from Concorde Square in the east and ends at Star Square in the west, with a total length of about 1800 meters and its widest point of about 120 meters. This is one of the most distinctive and prosperous streets in Paris. In French, the Champs Elysé es means idyllic paradise. In the past, it used to be a low-lying and humid clearing. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, when Louis XIV was in power, trees were planted here, which became a forbidden place for court nobles to play. Later, the east-west axis of Tully Park extended westward, and a boulevard with a length of 1km was built here. Later, it expanded. It was named Champs Elysé es in 1709. The main street is bounded by Longbuwan Street, which is divided into two sections from north to south, with different styles. The quiet eastern section reflects the pastoral scenery, about 700 meters long, with rows of buttonwood trees, and the garden in the center of the street is hidden among thousands of trees. In the center of the Star Square in the East, there is the majestic and famous Arc de Triomphe. There are Bourbon Palace and Madeleine Cathedral nearby. There are also some places of interest, such as Tully Park, Louvre, City Hall and Elysee Palace. The west section is 1 100 meters long, and the Place de la Concorde at the west end is another transportation hub in Paris. Some important festivals in France, such as the National Day Parade on July 14 and the New Year's Party, were held in this famous street.
One of the best ways for the Eiffel Tower to experience the romance in Paris is to climb the Eiffel Tower when the sky is low. The setting sun reflects the setting sun, waiting for the night view of Paris with alternating stars. This is the beauty of peace in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was completed in 1886 for the subsequent World Expo 1889. Eiffel, the architect at that time, once said: For the glory of modern science and French industry, I want to build a building as grand as the Arc de Triomphe! Therefore, from 1887 to 193 1, the Empire State Building in New York has been the tallest building in the world for 45 years before its completion. At present, it is still the most famous landmark in Paris, with tower souvenirs everywhere. The Eiffel Tower is 320 meters high. The most famous architectural design is the symmetrical reinforcement design to prevent strong winds, which has both practical and aesthetic considerations. The Eiffel Tower is divided into three floors, and the fees are different according to the destination floors of tourists. When you arrive at the second floor, you should first have a look around Paris. At this time, the height should not be too high, and the main landmarks can be clearly identified. But there are still many tourists who want to continue to attack the top. It is better to wait in line for the elevator and enjoy the scenery while waiting in line. It won. Don't waste time. It is common to queue for an hour or two during the tourist season. After taking the express elevator to the 274-meter-high top floor, you can enjoy the scenery of Paris slowly. When your eyesight is good during the day, you can overlook 72 kilometers away. It is recommended to go at dusk. You can enjoy different scenery during the day and at night, especially the brightly lit Arc de Triomphe, which is a bit reluctant to see. The tower was built in 1886 and completed two years later, with a height of 2 12.27 meters. Later, a TV antenna of 20 meters was added, making it the tallest building in Paris. To get close to the Eiffel Tower, according to the Paris subway map, you should get off at ChampDeMarsTourEiffel. But as far as the scenery is concerned, I suggest you get off at Trocadero, because you can see the Eiffel Tower on the other side of the Seine when you get out of the subway station and board the observation deck in front of the stairs of the Summer Palace. Seen from a distance, the ugliness of the tower turned into beauty. Introduction to French tourist attractions: Champs Elysé es17th century. Since 1640, the painter Lenotel of the French Palace of Versailles planted a row of trees on the extension lines of the Louvre and Tuye Palace, the Champs Elysé es has just been a long corridor in the center of an urbanized area. Its present outline (now known as the Star of the Summer Palace) was formed in 1724, which broadened the horizon of Tuye Garden. Half a century later, its western part extended to the Seine River through the current Paris laGrandeArme Street and Charles de Gaulle Street, but it was redefined as a star square by FermiersGnraux soon. Since 1828, the Paris municipal government has renovated it and built the earliest sidewalk. 1838, the architect JacquesHittorff planned the Champs Elysé es (including street lamps that are still preserved today) (this garden was planned by Jean-CharlesAlphand during the reign of Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte). From 65438 to 0994, the Champs Elysé es received a huge investment (250 million francs) and began the necessary transformation. The main participants are Bernard Hutt (urban planning expert), Jean Michel wilmot and norman foster (road and public facilities designer). The Champs Elysé es is located in the eighth district of Paris, in the northwest of the city. Starting from Concorde Square, an obelisk stands on the square, and the main street extends from east to west1915m. The first half of the street is relatively flat, and then an uphill section leads to Charles de Gaulle Square (formerly known as Star Square, located at the top of the highland where Yuexia Palace is located). The Arc de Triomphe stands in the center of the square. Her straight street allows us to see far away places: the Louvre Museum and its pyramids, the small Arc de Triomphe, Thuille Garden, the obelisk, the Arc de Triomphe, and further west, the Dafeng Arch in the suburbs of Paris. This is the historical axis of western Paris. Champs Elysé es is one of the main tourist attractions in Paris. The first half of the Champs Elysé es is surrounded by green space (squareMarigny) and some buildings (Thtremarrigny, PalaisdelaDcouverte).

French tourist attractions: The Seine River originates from the Le Lang Plateau (47 1 m above sea level), with a total length of 776 kilometers. The Paris Basin through which it flows is the richest agricultural area in France. Paris developed gradually on the Seine and its banks.

The river is more than 200 meters wide and 3 meters deep. Its flow rate is stable and it is navigable all year round.

Introduction of main tourist attractions in France: The Louvre, a world-famous art hall, was built at the end of 12. It was used for defense at that time. Later, after a series of expansion and repair, it gradually became a magnificent palace. From the16th century, Francois I began to collect various works of art on a large scale. Later emperors continued this tradition and enriched the collection of the Louvre. Today, the museum has a collection of 400,000 works of art, including sculptures, paintings, arts and crafts, and seven categories, including ancient orient, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome. 198 1 year, the French government carried out a large-scale renovation of this exquisite building, and the Louvre has since become a professional museum. It is worth mentioning that there is a transparent pyramid building at the entrance of the Louvre, and its designer is the famous Chinese American architect I.M. Pei. At present, the Louvre has become one of the three largest museums in the world, and its art collection is rich in variety and high in taste, which is world-class.

It is a representative of the Gothic church, beautifully carved and ingenious, especially the relief on the three arches at the main entrance, with more than a thousand words, which is very detailed. The interior decoration of Notre Dame de Paris is rigorous and solemn, but the design of stained glass windows is the most attractive. Some are long, round and rectangular, but one of them is the roundest. Its diameter is nine meters, commonly known as rose glass window. During World War II, the Parisians were afraid that the Germans would take it away, so they took it down and hid it. Notre Dame de Paris has experienced wind and rain, war and destruction, and has been rebuilt several times since its establishment. However, its legend is almost equal to the reputation of Paris. Hugo's hunchback of Notre Dame de Paris is based on it, and everyone likes popular novels. Even Disney changed it into an animated cartoon, in which the flying crib of Notre Dame and the monster exit were vividly painted.
