Dazey: Amour De Paris Day 4 (10 May)

Be warned of the truely massive post hahaa of only Day 4

Like more than 70 pics!

But there are so much things I would like to share okie...

Let the Long Day 4 begins :)

Oh my gosh look who greeted us in the morning! It is little french Tommy!

But he is super cute okie!
Especially he wanted to embrace San the moment he saw her like his long lost mother ahhaa!

And especially he uttered some Ju ju ju thingy we scatched our heads if that's baby language or some french.

Looks like the French family cutie cutie....

cutie cutie cutie cutie.....eeeee...

He is actually a 17 months old BB who our auntie babysit for :)

There we set off after we parted with our cutie french boi boi.

It is really confusing with a different system of zoning the places or buying 'bulk' purchase with 10 tickets and above (which said to be more worth).

It is great that someone has brief us to make everything easier.

Try to ask about the zone/s of the place/s you would like to go and then its is more worth to get the tix with these zones, like we purchase zone 1 & 2 for our case.

The

The trains are mostly err....yea definately not so clean. Did i mention abt mouldy smell?

Interesting thing that we dun see here is the "street performers"

We got excited when we seen once on the way to lourve and then we realise it is like a daily scene in their trains.

But well nv try to take pic right in front of them cos otherwise its time for them to collect money from you.

LOUVRE Palace / Musée du Louvre

is our first stop :)

Yeah!! We are finally out by our own and make it to the real Paris center....

Another street performer doing the giant bubble.

Happy is the word :)

Hahaha ok I am not major in geography especially in european area so my memory of Louvre is err from Da Vincci Code movie (shame shame)

I was speechless when I see this with mouth open WOW

It is magnificient!

Isnt it oh just.....soooo oh sooo magicificent?

Before we visit the Louvre museum, we have to fill our hungry cold stomach first.

Walking around Louvre, picking something that seems interesting to us :)

Finally settled on this simple cafe

Since their portion is too huge to us to order individual, we just share around.

Oh even the cafe ceiling is so pretty.

It is painted on, not wall paper.

See the salad portion is scary right?

Back to Q at the Louvre museum after full full.

The french soldier who is nice enough to pose in a pic with us :)

Oh the museum is soo packed on a mOnday blue :(

There are 4 main sections in the museum.

We started Salon Denon first cos i wanted to see the famous Mona Lisa painting :)

With the Revolution, the Louvre entered a phase of intensive transformation. For three years, Louis XVI lived in the Tuileries palace, alongside the Convention Nationale. In 1793 the Museum Central des Arts opened to the public in the Grande Galerie and the Salon Carré, from where the collections gradually spread to take over the building. Anne of Austria’s apartments housed the antique sculpture galleries, and further rooms and exhibition spaces were opened under Charles X.

The first place that welcomed us in Denon, house mainly sculptures and statues.

Glad to see the sign that could lead us to our Mona Lisa secret ahha

We gotta walked throught this path to get nearer

coffin from the past?

Still no sight of my Lisa...

Really loved those ceilings with fantasy and dreamy paintings...

Then another path of paintings...wow they are all so unique.

Gigantic too...

At last my Lisa is in sight omg....it is so small compared to the others...

See so how crowded it is around our Miss Little Lisa...

Another section right out of Mona Lisa and soooo pretty here.

Few paintings that i am so charmed by...

Goddess of Venus.

That was the past of the palace like....huge!

Out again to see the sun.

Even the handicap lift is so high tech!

Still the Louvre area.

Exploring the Gardens at The Carrousel and Tuileres Gardens

The Tuileries are the largest and oldest public park in Paris. Their official incorporation into the Musée du Louvre on January 1, 2005, reestablished the historic coherence of the vast royal palace and its grounds. The gardens were an integral part of the palatial scheme created by the kings of France. With their landscaping, vistas, and sculptures, they provide the perfect complement to the buildings. The preservation of this exceptional historic monument and the interlinking of the Tuileries and Carrousel gardens have made it possible to bring a major art form—that of landscape design—into the Louvre.

Relaxing like royal retreat...

From Royal Retreat to Public Park
The Tuileries and Carrousel gardens form a pleasant, leafy setting for the Louvre palace. A delight at any season of the year, they provide the perfect place for a relaxing stroll and offer a range of activities for visitors of all ages

Below is an official gift from Egypt.

Not forgetting a french Mocha & a hotdog bun oh its big lor that we 3 had to share...

Walking towards Champs Elysees & Arc de Triomphe

The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a prestigious avenue in Paris France. With its cinemas, cafes, luxury specialty shops and clipped horse-chestnut trees, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous streets in the world, and with rents as high as €1.1 million (USD1.5 million) annually per 1,100 square feet (92.9 square metres) of space, it remains the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe.

.
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is known in France as La plus belle avenue du monde ("The most beautiful avenue in the world"). The arrival of global chain stores in recent years has strikingly changed its character, and in a first effort to stem these changes, the City of Paris (which has called this trend "banalisation") decided in 2007 to ban the Swedish clothing chain H&M from opening a store on the avenue. In 2008, however, American clothing chain Abercrombie & Fitch was given permission to open a store.

A winter pic of Champs-Élysées that i google on - so pretty...

Oh also the very high tech public toilet. I cant remember the cost but it gave you a total of 20 minutes unless you press the door open sooner than the 20 mins.

It will automatically open at 20 mins ahaha

San was very stress and she didnt use it for the first time when we saw.
