PDF Download Five Days in Paris Ebook, Epub FIVE DAYS IN PARIS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Danielle Steel | 304 pages | 01 Feb 1997 | Random House USA Inc | 9780440222842 | English | New York, United States 5 Days in Paris in Winter For stair users, closing time is pm. Elevator users can stay as late as am. Say you decide to pay to visit just one attraction during your 5 days in Paris — then there is no doubt: you have to go to the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is the most iconic place in Paris. Built in for the World Expo, the tower measures meters and until it was the tallest building in France. It still retains the record for the highest man made observation deck in Europe, at meters. Make sure to get tickets in advance. TIP: Get the earliest possible access to climb the Eiffel Tower and factor in around 2 hours for your visit , from the moment you get there to the time you actually get off. The view of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero. In case you are wondering, you got it: today is all about the views. TIP: If you can push yourself out of bed, go to the Trocadero for sunrise. There is almost nobody around, you will get incredible photos with nobody in the way! The arch was erected to celebrate war victories and to pay respect to the many that died during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. TIP: Make sure to get skip the line tickets in advance here or here. One of the squares you will come across during your 5 days in Paris is Place de la Concorde. It was built in — back then it has the name Place Louis XV. Located in the square you will see a fountain that dates back to the reign of Louis-Philippe and an obelisk taken from the entrance of Luxor Temple in Egypt. The garden was landscaped by Vaux-le-Vicomte — the same who designed the gardens of Versailles. This should give you an idea of how gorgeous this park can be. If you walk their length and you should, really! In case you want to give it a try, get your tickets in advance this is a must! After visiting, you can head to the nearby Palais-Royal, a fantastic photo-spot, and then make your way to the Pompidou. From there, you can head to Notre-Dame — you can only visit it from the outside. Nearby, you can embark your Seine river cruise. You can see the map of your day 3 itinerary here. Please take care to note that the map only includes Notre-Dame Cathedral, but not the Seine river cruise. Most of those departing from Notre Dame are hop on hop off services. This vast museum was originally a fortress that only later on, the s became an art gallery. The Louvre can get incredibly crowded and it regularly gets sold out, so you absolutely have to purchase your tickets in advance. I also recommend going on a guided tour — at least an audioguide one — so that you can make sense of the many pieces you will be admiring, and of the building which is in itself an incredible work of art. Plan to be there as soon as it opens and to devote 4 hours to it as a minimum. The following are the best skip the line tickets and guided tours for the Louvre:. You will love this place! Now the seat of the Constitutional Council and the Ministry of Culture, it makes for an interesting visit thanks to the art installation of striped columns of different sizes. This is one of the coolest buildings in town. If you actually want to go in, you can get your tickets here. Yet, you should at least try to see it from the outside. It still is an impressive sight. The best way to finish off an amazing day of exploration is by going on a cruise along the Seine. Keep in mind that most cruises depart from the Eiffel Tower, but look for those that depart from nearby Notre-Dame for ease. The cruise is certainly a touristy thing to do, but the views from there are gorgeous. I recommend opting for a sunset or nighttime cruise for an even better experience. With 5 days in Paris, you have just about enough time for a trip out of town. Some may suggest going to Disneyland, but my recommendation is to actually head to Versailles. I recommend buying your return ticket from the train station in Paris as there will be long lines at Versailles station. Once a hunting lodge, it became a proper castle upon wishes of Louis XIV, who moved his court there. Between the palace, the gardens, and the nearby Trianon estates, it is an incredible place to visit. I recommend joining a good guided tour to make sense of all you see. Montmartre is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Paris. The last of your 5 days in Paris will be spend wandering around Montmartre, one of Paris most charming neighborhoods. If you have time, at the end of the day, I recommend walking to Les Marais, one of the nicest neighborhoods in town. You can see the map of your day 5 itinerary here. I recommend heading to the Moulin Rouge as early as possible — you can get there by metro and have to get off at Blanche. From there, head to the Sacre-Coeur before exploring the rest of Montmartre. TIP: If you want to see a show at the Moulin Rouge, consider starting at the cemetery so that you get there in the evening. Seeing a show at the Moulin Rouge may not be for all, but you should at least pop by this Parisian institution famous for its cabaret and for being the birthplace of the can-can dance. If you want to see the show, you can get your tickets here. The view from the Sacre-Coeur is stunning, so it is worth going just for that. The church, which is a Romano-Byzantine basilica, is located on top of Montmartre hill, where it started being built in Montmartre is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Paris. The area became popular with artists in the 19th century, when the likes of Monet, Renoir, Modigliani and even Van Gogh moved there. These are some of good ones:. Olivia Thatcher is the wife of a famous senator. She is trapped in a web of duty and obligation, married to a man she once loved and no longer even knows. When her son died, a piece of Olivia died too. Accidentally, on the night of a bomb threat, they meet in Paris, at the Ritz. As the two strangers meet, their lives become briefly enmeshed. Peter, once so sure of his path, so certain of his marriage and success, but suddenly faced with his professional future in jeopardy. The beauty of coming to Paris in January is there are no lines to wait in. In less than 10 minutes, we were standing at the 2nd level platform taking in the views of the city. Seeing Paris from above gave us an amazing perspective and allowed us to map out all the landmarks in the distance. It was the perfect way to start our trip. Then we made our way to Notre Dame where we spent hours admiring every intricate corner of the cathedral. What an impressive building! The entrance alone completely took our breath away. When we felt satisfied with our visit and with the pictures we took! Within minutes we completely understood how to use the metro. It was that easy! We stood; eyes wide open, watching the sunset over the Paris skyline. It was perfect. And the historic district of Montmartre felt like walking through a movie set. Artists painting, quaint cafes, little shops, cobblestone streets. We found an artist that we loved who had been painting there for 40 years! Our day ended at Rue Montorgueil , an old-fashioned Parisian pedestrian market. We dedicated our rainiest day to exploring this massive art museum. Every inch of the Louvre is impressive, from the artwork to the ceilings and even the outside of the building itself. Taking our time here was the best decision we made, but after 8 miles of art YES, the Louvre is 8 miles total , we were exhausted. To end our day and to relax, a picnic was in order. So we bought a platter of cheese from the market, a bottle of red wine and a baguette, put on the 3 Musketeers and had a Parisian picnic in our Airbnb. On Day 4 of our trip to Paris, we decided to focus on something that we personally love — antiques! Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen. Even though there was still so much to see, taking half the day to do something other than the standard sites was a great decision. We strolled around all morning discovering so much about Paris, in the most interactive and fun way! After the market, we went to the Sainte-Chapelle , a chapel that boasts the most extensive 13th century stained glass collection in the world! We took our time to admire every single window pane. It was breathtaking! Last but not least, we finished our day at the Arc de Triomphe in the 8th arrondissement. This arch is one of the most famous landmarks in Paris. And it was even more epic than we had imagined. You can pay 8 euros to go to the top or you can simply walk around the base of the monument and take pictures, which is what we did.

  • Syllabus Paris
    Institut de Langue et de Culture Française Spring Semester 2017 Paris, World Arts Capital PE Perrier de La Bâthie / [email protected] Paris, World Capital of Arts and Architecture From the 17th through the 20th centuries Since the reign of Louis XIV until the mid-20th century, Paris had held the role of World Capital of Arts. For three centuries, the City of Light was the place of the most audacious and innovative artistic advances, focusing on itself the attention of the whole world. This survey course offers students a wide panorama on the evolution of arts and architecture in France and more particularly in Paris, from the beginning of the 17th century to nowadays. The streets of the French capital still preserve the tracks of its glorious history through its buildings, its town planning and its great collections of painting, sculpture and decorative arts. As an incubator of modernity, Paris saw the rising of a new epoch governed – for better or worse – by faith in progress and reason. As literature and science, art participated in the transformations of society, being surely its more accurate reflection. Since the French Revolution, art have accompanied political and social changes, opened to the contestation of academic practice, and led to an artistic and architectural avant-garde driven to depict contemporary experience and to develop new representational means. Creators, by their plastic experiments and their creativity, give the definitive boost to a modern aesthetics and new references. After the trauma of both World War and the American economic and cultural new hegemony, appeared a new artistic order, where artists confronted with mass-consumer society, challenging an insane post-war modernity.

  • There's Only One Paris Final
    Le Métro 1st & 2nd Arrondissement “Nooooo!” Sasha ran and launched himself into the Métro car just as the buzzer sounded. He was immediately tugged backwards. The corner of his shoulder bag was caught in the closing doors. He freed it with a hefty yank, allowing the doors to shut properly. The train set off. “No! I mean yes! I wasn’t saying no to you,” Sasha shouted into his phone as he regained his footing. “Yes, I’ve got it…” There were two empty folding seats next to him. He lowered the closest and plunked himself down. “I’m on my way now. I should be there shortly,” He then removed a handkerchief from the zippered pocket of his satchel and dabbed his brow. He’d worked up a sweat on his race to catch the train. Well, considering recent events, it didn’t take much for Sasha and his level of anxiety to surge. “Il n'y a qu'un seul Paris… Paris… Paris…” Oh no! Sasha grumbled to himself. No wonder that section of the Métro car was empty. He’d been in such a hurry to catch the train, he hadn’t paid any attention to the state of where he was landing. “Paris… Paris!” Most Paris Métro cars were divided into sections of stationary seats and open areas for standing. The latter also had flip down seats which passengers could use when the car wasn’t too full. Just a few feet away from Sasha, in the other half of his current section, was a musician.

  • Couverts À Paris Passages Couverts À Paris
    Passages couverts à Paris Passages couverts à Paris Les passages sont une forme paisible de la foule. Elle s’y possède mieux, elle s’y allonge ; elle s’y réchauffe en se frottant aux parois. L’allure des piétons ne se recourbe pas plus humblement, comme le lierre des chênes sur la fi le des voitures. Ils ne pataugent plus dans la boue, ni dans les forces. Le passage les abrite et les enveloppe d’une douceur presque domestique. C’est une rue qui se recueille ou un intérieur qui se défait toujours. JULES ROMAINS « Puissances de Paris » - 1911 ES PASSAGES COUVERTS se développent dans la capitale pendant une L soixantaine d’années seulement, entre la fi n du XVIIIe siècle et le milieu du XIXe siècle. Novateurs tant par leur forme architecturale que par leur rôle social, systématiquement bordés de boutiques, les passages sont des lieux de grande mixité. Le plus souvent habités en étage, ils font se côtoyer commerces du luxe, marchands de jouets, salles de spectacle, bouquinistes ou restaurants. Parmi la soixantaine de passages couverts qui vit le jour, il en subsiste une quinzaine, regroupée sur la rive droite. La plupart sont soit classés aux Monuments historiques, soit inscrits aux Monuments historiques ou protégés au Plan local d’urbanisme/protection ville de Paris. Chaque passage présente un caractère spécifi que mais tous ont en commun d’être des voies privées ouvertes ou non à la circulation des piétons, administrées par des propriétaires privés. Consciente de la valeur unique de ce patrimoine et des risques multiples qui le menacent, la mairie de Paris a lancé, en 2002, un projet de mise en valeur des passages couverts parisiens en mettant en place une aide aux propriétaires pour mieux prendre en compte leur valeur historique et leur qualité architecturale.
