Paris

In General, Paris by night, if you step back some distance from the river Seine and the historical centre looks terrible everywhere, the company of Algerians, drinking alcohol on the road or the sidewalk, garbage, mud, etc.

Honestly, there's generally very difficult to understand who of the people in this town are French. 80% of metro passengers seem to the Africans.

But look at the city itself. We started with the Louvre. The place seems big, but moves very quickly, 10 minutes of waiting and we in the most famous Museum in the world.

Inside the first surprise: all exhibits are signed only in French. Of course, you can rent headphones with audio guide (there is even Russian), but very few sculptures and paintings have audiopioneer.

With a few glasses (probably armored) — the famous Mona Lisa. To her do not come close, and everyone is taking pictures of themselves with their iPhones/iPads.

If you want to climb the Eiffel tower, you have three options: low, middle and the top. At 9 PM starts illumination of the tower and the entrance to the top floor is closed.

We climbed in the evening, so got on the middle floor.

But the tower itself is illuminated.

The view is not worse opens from the top of the arc de Triomphe. Here we were in the afternoon.

Not far is a bum with a bottle of wine. France.

Elysian fields — a beautiful beginning, and then street street — on the one hand the trees and the road, with the other expensive shops. Nothing special, I don't understand why the street is so popular.

The Notre Dame Cathedral.

Tried frog legs. Much softer chicken and all very good :)

The tourist syndrome of disappointment at the Paris — quite natural phenomenon.
