Les Roses

    


The rose, is a song of love and happiness.
Without a word, your heart is delivered;
With a touch of it, the decoration is done;
With its fragrance, your stress is released.

Different Expressions of the Eiffel Tower


La Tour Eiffel, the symbol of "Paris", the symbol of the "Romance". It seems Paris wouldn't be "Paris" if there's not Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 for the World's fair. Ever after, it became one of the most famous and recognisable monuments in the world.

Even though the Eiffel tower is made of metal, it changes colors between day-time and night-time; sunny days and cloudy ones; ordinary days and special occasions. You could also see the beauty of The Eiffel Tower from the different angles as well. 

Same tower, but it presents you a brand-new appearance each and everyday!!

Les Invalides


Wars, battles, fights and revolutions are part of the history. If you'd like to learn more about this part of history of France, the place you must visit is Les Invalides.

From the big entrance of Les Invalides, you could see heavy cannons are standing in line. They are not just for decoration, they had experienced the real battles. Now after years and years, they've been given the color of history. While the roof of Les Invalides is still shining with its golden color. It is the symbol of the victory and the peace. Les Invalides is also the tomb of the great french empire Napoleon.

Le Phare du Bout du Monde

Le Phare du Bout du Monde, La Rochelle

Le Phare du Bout du Monde, La Rochelle

I am wondering who hasn't ever been a fan of Jules Verne, the famous french fiction writer. His famous works such as: "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"(Vingt mille lieues sous les mers), "Around the World in Eighty Days" (Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) have been brought onto the screen,  and you could also get into Captain Nemo's submarine in Euro Disneyland.

Here is exact place in his novel "The Lighthouse at the End of the World" (Le Phare du Bout du Monde). You could see nothing beyond the lighthouse, but the endless Atlantic Ocean. When the tides go higher in the afternoon,  the lighthouse is almost soaked up inside the sea.
