WALKING IN PARIS (II)

I think Paris is the most beautiful and cosmopolitan city in Europe. Paris is very famous related to his central places, green areas and the monuments that stand out worldwide. Due to this fact, many tourists visit the city during all the year in order to appreciate his art and history and become a little French.

The most famous Parisian landmarks are:

• Notre Dame Cathedral which is placed on the Île de la Cité. Tourist should know that Île de la Cité is a natural island in the Seine River where the medieval city was founded.
• Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe which is placed in the centre of Place de Gaulle. This monument honours that fought and died in the French revolution and the Napoleonic wars.
• Eiffel Tower which was built for the Universal Exposition in 19^th century. Nowadays this tower can be considered as the symbol of Paris.

 We could say the historical axis is a line of monuments and buildings that extends from the centre of Paris to the west. 

Tourist must walk 

 

Tourist must walk through this line to discover this majestic area.

Some advises for tourists are the following:

1-     The best way to get around the city is by bus or tube. There are many taxi ranks around the city but the taxi cost is very high so tourist should chosen public transport.

2-     Paris is

The Whole of the Moon by Waterboys

It is a classic of the band's repertoire and has been consistently played at live shows ever since its release.
When I'm feeling sad and I want to feel more cheerful I always listen to this song.
I used to listen to this song with a friend when we were preparing our exams to pass the first course at the university...we were a little bit depressed and after listening to it we were always laughing.

ALIVE AND KICKING by Simple Minds

After listening to Immaculate Fools, I started to get used to listening to Simple Minds. My favourite song was this one...Alive and kicking because it has a very strong beat and the title is a live style.

TRAGIC COMEDY by Immaculate Fools

So memories...

I used to listening to this pop Britain group when I was a teenager.

I remember hearing that song in my first party with people who were older than me and they were studying in Barcelona.

I think it was my first contact with pop British music...the begining of a greatest friendship related to this kind of music. :-P
 

WALKING IN PARIS

I want to write this article for all my students who are going to travel to Paris next week.

Most of you, we will be asking why I’m writing this few sentences … and the answer is very simple due to the fact I want avoid the most of troubles which could arrive during our stay in Paris knowing teenager’s behaviour.

First at all, before going out the hotel you must know where you want to go, so you should plan your visit the night before without forgetting to take your passport, mobile phone, maps and money.

Secondly, it is forbidden to walk alone; always you must go in groups in case you have to solve something as a team.

Remember, you are in the city not in the country, so you can’t cross the streets when the lights are in red colour.

On the other hand, you mustn’t neither run nor jump when you will be walking on the streets because French people mustn’t be disturbed while they are doing theirs daily routines.

And don’t forget to apologize for the inconvenience caused if someone has been offended due to your behaviour.

To conclude my article, I want to finish only saying…vegging out during your stay in Paris!

It may be a meeting where the attendants must have been discussing the strategic plan for next 5 years.
It may be a meeting where customer and supplier must have been doing business related to a new product.
I think these two possiblitlies could be the right ones because they are analysing the figures to reach an agreement.
