On the pages of the history of Paris
Description:
This is an ideal sightseeing tour of Paris in Russian to get acquainted with the city, since we start from the origins of the foundation of Paris and from the heart of Paris, which is the island of Cite and gradually “pass” from one century to another, finishing the tour of the city from the height of the Eiffel Tower.
Very often, Paris is personified with the Middle Ages: early – dark or later, passing into the Renaissance. But anyway, we will start our tour from the heart of Paris, which is the island of Cite. It is from him that the beautiful and multifaceted Paris originates in the time of the Celtic settlements of the Parisians. It is there that another city is built - the Roman city of Lutetia, expanding to the left bank. But we will enter the heart of Paris in the same way as it once fell not only the people of the Middle Ages, but even before the Romans across the New Bridge of the time of Henry of Navarius. Learn the history of the monument to the merry king, admire other medieval buildings, such as: Palace of the French Kings Conciengerie, Holy Chapel, Paris City Hall. Of course, we will go to the main temple of the city - Notre-Dame de Paris and try to find the very symbols - secrets that filled his novel with the same name Victor Hugo, thereby revitalizing this beautiful Cathedral. We will walk further along the embankment of the River Seine and admire another visiting card of Paris - book shops ... Turning our attention to the Baroque building, where the French Academy is located, we will go to the courtyard of the Royal Palace of the Louvre and learn what the intrigues of the royal court are fictions, and what were real stories taken by Alexander Dumas as the basis of his books. Walk past the sculptures and fountains that adorn the Tulluri Park... go to the Place de la Concorde, which remembers many historical events, including the engagement of Louis XVI with Marie Antoinette; admire the Church of St. Madeleine, the Bourbon Palace and along the main avenue of Paris Champs Elysees, we will smoothly get already in the period of Belle Epoque (Belle Epoque), when Ottoman Paris becomes the center of progress, pleasures and entertainment for the entire civilized world. Increasingly active participation in the World Trade Exhibitions turns Paris into one of the most advanced cities, where more and more new architectural structures that have conquered the world appear: the Grand and Small Palaces; the most beautiful bridge of the city is the Alexander III Bridge, which was a kind of allegory of the restoration of diplomatic relations between the French and Russian empires at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries; the Palace of the Disabled, the basilica of which became the tomb of the Grand Emperor of all times, as a mirror reflection echoing one of the seven hills of Paris, which crowns the pompous embodiment of all the victories of Napoleon Bonaparte. And of course, a sightseeing tour of Paris will not be able to bypass the symbol not only of Paris, but also of the whole of France, the Eiffel Tower, which rightfully still attracts the largest number of tourists from all over the world, but also is an integral decoration of Bourgeois Paris or the Belle Epoque. You can complete this acquaintance with Paris by climbing the Eiffel Tower, entrance tickets for which I can buy you in advance!!!
