      Eiffel Tower to the Top

      9 Jun 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      Станахме много късно, някъде към 12ч. … докато се оправим и слезем с метрото до Айфеловата кула стана 3 следобяд. (трябваше да презаредим, аз бях на над 48ч будна и гоненето на таксита по-рано сутринта ме доизтощи)
      Отидохме на Айфеловата кула отново, защото предния път беше затворен върхът и не успяхме да се качим, а пък Ночко не е гледал Париж оттам 🥰 за щастие беше отворен и си купихме билетче с асансьора директно до горе. Брей, много духаше, голям студ там 🌬️😂 но пък гледката беше страхотна! Всичко се виждаше в детайли и все едно си на самолет и ще кацаш скоро.
      Слязохме да си цъкнем по някоя снимка от едно паркче с изглед към кулата. По пътя към площада, откъдето се вижда цялата кула с фонтаните имаше и човек, който продаваше сладолед… пък беше 30 градуса и се наградихме с това сладко изкушение, почивайки си на една пейка. Снимахме се пак, погледахме Айфеловата кула и всички хора, позиращи да си направят снимки с нея.
      Аз се запънах обаче да седнем да ядем/пием (в зависимост от цените) на някое място, което има директен изглед към Айфеловата кула. И седнахме на най-централното кафене/ресторант, който съществуваше… след подробно разглеждане на менюто преценихме, че можем да си позволим само една палачинка със сладко 🥞 и ще си струва повече, защото и водата беше колкото палачинката 😅 то пък дървета бяха засадили точно там, не знам защо, но намерихме пролука, където виждаме кулата отпред 😋 Кафето ресторант се казваше Cafe du Trocadero. Искахме и шейкове да пием, ама струваха колкото яденето за цял ден в Карлсруе и си взехме шейкове, но от по-странично място. 🍧
      За да не се мотаем пак до късно, се прибрахме към 22ч., за да си хванем всички връзки безпроблемно.

      Paris, the City of Museums and Parks

      22 Julai 2022, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Well.... it turns out that walking for 34.7 km the day before will actually slow you down the next day. Who Knew???

      Today we had tickets to go to the Louvre. We booked them later in the morning thinking we could get there early, scout out the area, visit the Gardens and leisurely make our way in.

      As it turned out, we slept in, still managed to get on our train early, got almost there before we realized we had left the coffee pot on, went all the way back, turned it off, then back on the metro with a brisk walk to the Louvre and we ended up 5 minutes late. Whew...

      The Louvre is huge and confusing with 2153 different stair cases. We did the prototypical tourist thing and decided to head straight to the Mona Lisa. Get her out of the way early. We did the stand in line thing to get close, took our snap shots, and we were off to ping pong around that place trying to see as much as we could while hitting our personal highlights, such as the Venus De Milo and the Egyption mummies. Oh... and I was most excited to see, Winged Victory. For some reason, I find that statue of a headless winged angel so beautiful.

      We did a lot of walking.... again... and the kids were dragging so while we were there for like 4 hours, there was still lots we didn't see. I want to go back again sometime just to spend more time admiring all the lesser know pieces of art at a more leisurely pace.

      After that we ate some lunch and did a bit of souvenir shopping and then we got to relax in the Tuileries Garden which is just outside the Louvre. We finally got our outside pictures of the pyramid (the ones we didn't get because of our mad dash to get there in time) and then we decided to head for home.

      One of the things on Jen's bucket list was to sit in the lawn of the park just south of the Eiffel Tower. That is the iconic place where to see people picnicking and laying down kissing with the tower in the background. So we jumped off the subway a couple of blocks away, grabbed a 6 pack of overpriced Macarons, and went to the park. It was everything Jen hoped for. Nothing more French than eating Macarons in the park by the Eiffel Tower.

      We soaked in that moment, and then the rain came to gently nudge us into the direction of home. And so ends our time in Paris. We spent the rest of the night cleaning and packing so we could get up early to make our train to Rouen. All in all, Paris was great but we left a lot of things undone. So... I guess we will just have to come back.

      Oh... and even though we were dragging a bit and sore, we finished the day with 19,185 steps (for those of you who are only here for the daily step counter 😛😉)

      Ok. Off to bed to dream of baguettes... again. What is up with that???

      Eiffel Tower

      20 Julai 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It was named after Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. The tower was completed in 1889, and it was the tallest man-myade structure in the world at the time. It is now one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world and attracts millions of visitors each year.

      The tower stands at a height of 324 meters (1,063 feet) and consists of three levels, each of which offers stunning views of the city. The first level is 57 meters (187 feet) above the ground, the second level is 115 meters (377 feet) above the ground, and the third level is 276 meters (905 feet) above the ground.

      Paris Day 1

      21 Ogos 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Another crazy day!! I met up with Natascha in the morning, who is a girl that I work with back at home at Kokoro! She’s been in Paris with family for the past month, so I trusted her as my tour guide! I met her right by the Eiffel Tower and wow, she’s beautiful!!! I kept saying that it literally looked fake to me I don’t know why, it was so crazy. But yeah, so today Natascha took me on a large tour of all of the big things essentially, so first we walked by the Arc de Triomphe. After that we were a little hungry, so we walked along the famous Champ-Elysées and stopped by in a bakery to get some sweet treats. Then, we went to a little sandwich shop that had a character of an owner who was hilarious and so kind. After that, we walked through the Jardin des Tuileries which was big and beautiful. That took up to the Louvre, which we didn’t go in. I had decided that I wanted to go the next day, but of course, the ONLY day of the week that the Louvre is closed is Tuesdays!!! So I guess I’ll just have to come back to Paris 🙄. We walked and walked and it was HOT! It was nice to have some warm weather after it had been super cold for the last little bit of my trip! We walked by the Notre Dame, which is still closed for construction after the fire from a couple of years ago. We grabbed some ice cream and sat and ate it by the Seine. We stopped and saw a cool church, and awed at the architecture that was all around Paris! We stopped by the Pantheon 🏛️ and then went to sit in the Jardin du Luxembourg and relax for a little while- we’d been walking for a long time at this point. More walking, and another church later, we went to get a crêpe. It was crazy, the street that we found a crêpe restaurant actually had 11 other crêpe restaurants on the same street! Some crazy competition. I got a simple lemon and sugar crêpe. We walked back through the Jardin du Luxembourg and went to the supermarket to grab some sandwiches for dinner. After that, we journeyed over to the Sacre Cœur, which is a church that sits alot a hill. We went for the sunset (where you mostly see the sky on the other side of the sunset) and it was stunning. You saw pretty much the whole view of Paris (minus the Eiffel Tower) and it was beautiful. We looked inside the church as well which was cool. After, we walked around that area which had a lot of caricature and portrait artists at work which was cool to see. We walked down to catch a glimpse of the outside of Moulin Rouge, and then I headed back to my hostel for the night!!Baca lagi

      capelle de sainte genevieve

      8 Jun 2023, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Genoveva wurde um 422 in Nanterre in Frankreich geboren, sie entstammte gallorömischem Provinzadel. Ihr Vater trug den Namen Severus, die Mutter hieß Gerontia. Schon mit sieben Jahren hörte Genoveva in der Kirche von Nanterre die Predigten zweier Wanderbischöfe, Lupus von Troyes (Heiliger) und Germanus von Auxerre (Heiliger), der in dem Kind sogleich die zukünftige Heilige entdeckte. Und tatsächlich bewirkte sie bald viele Wunder, heilte Besessene und kurierte Blindheit. Nach dem frühen Tod der Eltern ging sie zu einer Tante nach Paris und widmete sich der Fürsorge an Armen und Kranken. Sie selbst lebte asketisch: Von ihrem 15. bis zum 50. Lebensjahr soll sie nichts außer Brot und Bohnen gegessen haben, danach ergänzte sie ihre Nahrung auf Weisung des Bischofs mit Milch und Fisch.Wein war für sie ebenso tabu wie andere alkoholische Getränke.
      Als die Hunnen 451 die Stadt bedrohten, sammelte Genoveva die Frauen um sich und betete für die Rettung. Die Männer rief sie zur Verteidigung auf, doch nur mit Mühe konnte man diese von der Steinigung der Mahnerin abhalten. Die Gründe sind heute nicht mehr nachzuvollziehen, doch wundersamerweise griff Attila Paris nicht an, sondern schwenkte Richtung Südwesten ab, wo er bald darauf auf den Katalaunischen Feldern seine erste wirkliche Niederlage einstecken musste, was zum baldigen Verschwinden der Hunnen aus Mitteleuropa führte.
      Als die Stadt später belagert wurde und überall Hunger herrschte, erreichte Genoveva durch Beten (nach anderen Quellen durch ihren persönlichen Einsatz), dass mit Lebensmitteln beladene Schiffe landen konnten und das Schlimmste abgewendet wurde. Auf ihre Anregung hin begann man mit dem Bau einer Basilika zu Ehren des Heiligen Erzbischofs und Märtyrers Dionysius, des späteren Doms St. Denis, in dem die französischen Könige bestattet wurden.
      Andere Begebenheiten aus ihrem Leben gehören eher ins Reich der Legende: Sie soll den Frankenkönig Chlodwig I. bekehrt, zwei Drachen vertrieben, einen kleinen Jungen dem Tod entrissen und einen Kelch durch ihr Gebet immer wieder aufgefüllt haben. Auch soll der Teufel ihre Kerze ausgeblasen haben, woraufhin ein Engel erschien und sie wieder anzündete. Später entflammten Kerzen, wenn Genoveva sie nur in die Hand nahm.
      Genoveva starb 502 in hohem Alter in Paris und wurde in der späteren Kirche Sainte-Geneviève begraben. Die von Ludwig XV. 1764 ihr zu Ehren in der Nähe erbaute Kirche wurde während der Französischen Revolution zum Panthéon umgewandelt, wo viele wichtige Persönlichkeiten Frankreichs bestattet sind. Genovevas Reliquien fielen allerdings der Revolution zum Opfer: 1793 verbrannte man sie und warf die Reste in die Seine.
      Genoveva ist heute noch eine der bekanntesten und volkstümlichsten Heiligen Frankreichs.

      Hop on hop off

      4 Januari, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Heute lassen wir laufen… beginnen wir direkt damit, dass der gestellte Wecker erstmal ignoriert wird 🤪. Die kurze Nacht und der lange Tag danach gestern zollen ihren Tribut.
      Gegen 10 krabbeln wir dann aus dem Bett und starten den Tag kurz danach mit einem französischen Frühstück und machen uns direkt auf zur Hop on hop off Haltestelle. Es ist so unwirklich wenn man hier durch die Straßen läuft und um die Ecke biegt einfach vor Notre Dame steht.
      Egal wir wollen heut mit dem Hop on Hop off Bus eine Runde drehen und danach entscheiden was wir im Detail anschauen wollen. Das funktioniert genau bis zur Hälfte der Strecke 😬. Nämlich bis zur Champs Élysées. Dort steigen wir doch direkt aus um einmal hochzulaufen, festzustellen, dass wir für die Läden leider die falsche Kreditkarte eingepackt haben und am Ende der Straße den Arc de Triumph zu besteigen (284 Stufen by the way) und auf der anderen Straßenseite vorbei an Tiffany, Dior und Co wieder zur Haltestelle zurück zu laufen.
      Dort finden wir uns zwischen dem Grand und dem Petit Palais wieder, die eigens für die Weltausstellung 1900 erbaut wurden 😲. Genauso wie der Eiffelturm… 🤷🏼‍♀️ wenn dann richtig!!!
      Aber gut, dass scheint hier Gang und Gebe zu sein, denn das ehemalige „Wohnhaus“ gebaut für Louise Françoise de Bourbon, dient heute der Nationalversammlung dient.
      Also nach dem Auszug aus meiner Wohnung kann nicht mal der Dahenfelder Gemeinderat tagen 😅.
      Wir fahren nochmal eine viertel Runde und kommen vorbei am Eiffelturm, dem ehemalig höchsten Gebäude von Paris „Èglise du Dõme des Invalides“ , der mit 107 m nicht mal halb so groß ist wie der Eiffelturm. Aber umso schöner mit seiner prachtvollen Kuppel. Wir steigen dann an der Oper wieder aus und fahren nochmal zurück zur Champs-Elysées und diese bei Nacht zu sehen.
      Danach gehts zurück Richtung Hotel und einem kurzen Abstecher über ein typisches Käseracelette 🤪🤪.
      Kurzum rund 18 Tausend Schritte… soviel zum Thema laufen lassen 😂. Gute Nacht …

      Oct 16 - Light show at the Eiffel Tower

      16 Oktober 2019, Perancis ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      We thought the weather looked okay so we went out to watch the 8:00 p.m. light show at the Eiffel Tower. We must have rain GPS implanted in us. Not two minutes after leaving the hotel, the showers began. Nothing torrential, but just slightly annoying. We watched the light show and headed home. Will try again tonight, perhaps from a different vantage point.Baca lagi

      Um 23.30 Uhr endlich der Eiffelturm. Da wir in Schengen um einiges später gestartet sind, als geplant, war diese Etappe ein ziemlicher Stress ... Das Ding ist in der Realität viel größer, als er auf Bildern wirkt.Baca lagi

      Sleepover day 45

      2 September 2018, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Start the day with a trip to Musée d’Orsay to look at Van Gogh. It was packed so we went outside to feed the pigeons. After that we took a walk through the park and had a play in the playground before visiting gallery Lafayette. We then took another trip up to Montmartre to get a portrait done.Baca lagi
