One day one park ticket, one day to basically have the opportunity to play, each project is good, you can also enter and exit the park, with the ticket to enter the park, you can pack out food. The fireworks at night are very ostentatious, great, not cold weather starts at 7 o&#39;clock, it is worth it

Louvre Museum

Great place to visit but can get very crowded around the &quot;must sees&quot; I would highly recommended at least a 2pm slot as the museum is massive and it&#39;ll take a long time to go through all the wings. I went for the 7pm slot and didn&#39;t realise how big it was. Only managed to go through one wing before it closed!

What a magnificent structure. The view of Paris is wonderful. You have the option to take the lift or use the stairs.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

学校🏫

Notre Dame de Paris: A stone epic reborn from the ashes, is it worth kneeling and looking up? Conclusion: Even if the scaffolding is not removed, it is still the soul coordinate of Paris! The fire burned through the Gothic dome, but it allowed humans to see the naked appearance of faith - Notre Dame at this moment is a living architectural anatomy lesson, more philosophical than when it was perfect. 

The hardcore truth beyond &quot;The Hunchback of Notre Dame&quot;: 
The shocking aesthetics of the scaffolding church: the giant tower crane on the south side pierces the sky like a mechanical cross, and the unfinished flying buttresses expose the steel nerves. Through the gaps in the construction fence, you can see the new spire cast from **600 tons of recycled lead blocks after the disaster - this is the Gothic soul resurrected by humans with technology in the 21st century. 
The miraculous code of the survivors: 
Bronze rooster weather vane (fallen to the ground in the fire and then recovered): It contains fragments of Paris, the crown of thorns and the remains of Saint Denis. The French regard it as the immortal totem of the ** country; 
South Rose Window (16th century): The colored glass tempered by high temperature in the flames is more colorful. When the midday sun penetrates, the rose projection like a blood diamond will appear on the ground; 
North transept stone column: The charred column is deliberately preserved and juxtaposed with the snow-white restoration stone - ** destruction and rebirth are in fierce dialogue here. 
Time capsule in the underground palace: The underground archaeological tomb (Crypte Arch&eacute;ologique) contains the ruins of the ancient Roman baths of the &Icirc;le de la Cit&eacute;. The stone swimming pool in the 4th century AD is intertwined with the foundation of the medieval Notre Dame. The two thousand years of accumulation of Paris are cut here. 
Ghost echoes on the riverside squatting on the Pont Neuf of the Seine until late at night. When the construction lights go out, the outline of the building floats in the moonlight. At this time, if you put your ear to the wall, you can hear the whimper of the wind blowing through the hollow holes of the scaffolding - that is the phantom sound of Quasimodo ringing the bell. 
Post-disaster pilgrimage survival guide: 
Touch rebirth up close: 
- Book a &quot;Chantier Tour&quot; (&euro;19) and enter the construction site wearing a helmet to watch robots carve new beams; 
- Go to the &quot;Atelier de la Reconstruction&quot; next door to assemble an oak dome model by hand and touch the charred original beam samples. 
Magic moment sniping: 
- Squat at the Pont Petit one hour before sunset, where the construction cranes and the remaining twin towers form a surreal picture in the reflection of the Seine; 
- Look up at the North Tower at the top of the hour, and when the temporary bells (newly cast in 2023) ring, the pigeons in the sky will be startled and fly back like ashes. 
Soul meal replacement plan: 
- Sainte-Chapelle (Sai

Palace of Versailles

Historic buildings

M26***25

Versailles Palace, the top royal park, is too big, can not be visited in 1 day, there are many paintings and sculptures, and geometric gardens, it is recommended to find a tour guide to explain, can understand the artistic background, the rise and fall of the French imperial style, the French Renaissance and gardening.

Musee d'Orsay

Musee d&#39;Orsay: Salvaging the golden age of impressionism in the ruins of the train station is worth half a life! 
Conclusion: If you are making a pilgrimage for impressionism, this place is more deadly than the Louvre - when Monet&#39;s &quot;Water Lilies&quot; hits the steel ribs of the abandoned station, you will hear the bone cracking sound of artistic innovation. 

Hardcore highlights: The train station understands rebellion better than the art gallery 
The time gallows in the clock tower: Rush up to the five-story West Clock Tower (Pavillon Amont), cut through the giant gilded clock face to cut Paris: the left frame is the Sacre Coeur, the right lock is the Louvre, and the Seine River cruise ship is like a clockwork toy in the distance - this is the most arrogant view in Paris. Trains bid farewell to millions of broken hearts here. 
Sacrifice ceremony of the Temple of Industry: A 1,400-ton steel vault stands in the 40-meter high hall, and sunlight penetrates the glass ceiling and splashes on Rodin&#39;s &quot;The Gates of Hell&quot;. Look up and take a closer look at the original coal dust between the rivets of the steel beams - the breath of the steam train in 1900 is still attached to it, and Van Gogh&#39;s &quot;Starry Night&quot; is spinning and burning below. 
The dark revelation of the bottom floor: most people go straight to the top floor Impressionism, but miss the execution ground of the top floor academic school. Bouguereau&#39;s &quot;The Birth of Venus&quot; and Cabanel&#39;s &quot;The Birth of Venus&quot; face off - the former defeated Manet and was elected the darling of the Salon. Now the audience votes with their feet: the former exhibition hall is empty like a place of exile, and the latter is suffocated by the crowd. 
Fading curse of water lilies: Please read the label carefully in front of Monet&#39;s &quot;Blue Water Lilies&quot;: Flash is strictly prohibited, the pigment contains lapis lazuli and is decomposing&quot;. The dark blue lake water is actually a chemical funeral, and the cobalt purple of the girl&#39;s skirt in Renoir&#39;s &quot;Ball at the Moulin de la Galette&quot; has faded to grayish white - the light of Impressionism is being murdered by time. 
The anti-killing tour group&#39;s rampage strategy: 
The dynamic nuclear explosion plan: 
⚡️ Enter from the Seine River entrance at 9:00 am (30 minutes less than the main entrance) 
⚡️ Take the elevator directly to the Impressionist Temple on the fifth floor (kneel down for &quot;Water Lilies&quot;, &quot;Starry Night&quot; and &quot;Ball&quot; first, and this place will fall after 10:00) 
⚡️ Sneak to the new art exhibition area on the middle floor at 10:30 and enjoy the magical subway station entrance of Guimard alone 
⚡️ Go down to the G floor at 11:00 and eat raspberry tower in the cafe of the train hotel ruins (formerly the first waiting room) 
Hidden copy trigger point: 
- The secret door in the east wing leads to the glass-roofed mezzanine, and the central hall looks like a future church from a bird&#39;s-eye view 
- Find the Degas ballerina sculpture next to the toilet on the north side, the folds of the skirt hide the artist&#39;s fingerprints 
Fatal peak: Thursday night (18:00-21:45) The flow of people is halved, and when the dome spotlight is turned on, the provocative gaze of the prostitute in &quot;Olympia&quot; is more piercing. 

Magic realism moment: 
When you chew on a cow horn in front of Miller&#39;s &quot;The Gleaners&quot;
