The story about my trip to Europe - 10

[Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe]

In the morning, I visited Montmartre hill and moved to Champs Elysees where there is the Arc de Triomphe.

I got off from limousine at my first day, but at that time I was so amazed and didn’t know what to do because I should get to my aunt‘s house.
On second visit, it was so gorgeous and luxurious. So, of someone says word “Paris”, I would think of this place next to the Eiffel Tower.

6th day afternoon in Paris

▲ Champs Elysees stretching all the way to Concorde Square

Here, famous brands, luxury hotels and restaurants are lining up.

▲ Arc de Triomphe

This is the Arc de Triomphe in the middle of the three Arc in Paris.

It was built to celebrate the victory of Napoleon Ⅰ, but construction was stopped due to defeat at war with Russia. After his death, it was completed. He was never able to pass the Arc he made when he was alive, but he could come back to Paris under his Arc after his passing.

▲ Underground entrance to the Arc de Triomphe

To go to the Arc de Triomphe, I had to pass through the underground entrance.
Location is on the right side of the Champs Elysees in the direction where you can see the Arc.

Finally, I saved one night and two days to spend time in Paris and went to neighboring country.
Next post is about Dusseldorf, Germany, famous of the miracle of the Rhine.
