Chapter 120 Looking for a house on the first day in Paris
No matter what era it is in, what represents a city is often its landmark building.
When it comes to Yanjing, people think of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. When it comes to New York, people think of the Statue of Liberty. When it comes to Paris, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the Eiffel Tower.
Many people even have only this impression of France, the only one in Paris that houses the Eiffel Tower.
Today's Paris is not very respectable. The sky is a bit gloomy. It has just arrived in the early morning, but the visual environment is similar to that at five or six o'clock in the evening, when the sun is about to set. There is still no light like the setting sun.
However, the temperature is very comfortable, and you can keep warm by wearing a wool sweater and a coat.
Sitting in the bus and looking out the window, you can see tall iron towers far away. Residential houses and commercial streets are similar to what you see on the plane. They are low-rise, but they are also modern houses. Modern
The style is different from the European cities Chen Xing imagined.
No matter how he viewed Europe before, now he finally saw the real thing, at least the real Paris.
The passengers on the bus were talking a lot. At least half of the passengers were tourists from other places, and the rest were locals from France. You could tell them apart by looking at the expressions on their faces. Those two or three people hugging each other looked excited.
There is definitely no doubt among tourists.
Those who look nostalgic or keep their heads down while playing with their mobile phones are French.
They have long been accustomed to the surrounding scenery.
The tower was getting closer and closer, and soon the whole tower could no longer be seen from the window, which also meant that they had arrived at their destination.
After getting off the bus, they arrived at the park under the Eiffel Tower.
Chen Xing didn't know the name of this park, but it looked like it was a linear park, that is, a city park with many trees, good greenery, and many roads for people to walk. The Eiffel Tower is not in the middle of the park.
, but at the edge, close to the Seine River.
There are people doing business below the tower, but not as many as Chen Xing thought.
Generally speaking, there must be a lot of small business vendors in this kind of attractions, or at least a lot of places selling souvenirs, but there was no such scene in the Eiffel Tower that Chen Xing saw today. Maybe it was still early? p>
However, there are many tourists, scattered here and there in this wide square.
Someone saw Chen Xing getting off a bus full of tourists. A girl came up and asked in fluent English: "Sir, do you need a travel guide? You only need to pay a small fee."
Chen Xing looked at his suitcase, shook his head and said, "No, at least not for the time being."
He has always believed that taking a suitcase to any scenic spot is a stupid behavior. Traveling is inherently a relaxing thing. When you are running around with a heavy package and are attracted by a building or a certain scenery, is it possible?
Do you still have time to look at the suitcase next to you?
What is it like to lose your luggage abroad? The gentleman at the airport had already taught Chen Xing a lesson.
So he planned to find a hotel to stay first, and then come back with his camera to visit the world-famous Eiffel Tower.
But...
Chen Xing hasn't taken a closer look yet, but at least from where he is now, the Eiffel Tower is a huge signal tower. The whole building is filled with industrial style. Somehow, it has become the white moonlight in the hearts of countless foreign young people. The so-called
A romantic place.
The woman saw Chen Xing's thoughts from his behavior and said:
"Sir, do you want to stay? The hotels near the Eiffel Tower are not very close. Many tourists like to stay in the tower-viewing rooms provided on travel software, but you must not believe that anywhere in Paris only has a window facing
The Eiffel Tower is a very good viewing room. I recommend you to live near chateletleshalles station. This is the most important transportation hub in Paris. It is a transfer station for several lines underground and a commercial center above ground..."
Chen Xing looked at her squarely.
A girl who is about 20 years old and 1.7 meters tall. Europeans are most beautiful at this age, and even in the next few years. As the saying goes, there is no ugly girl at 18, and they are also like this at this age. As for whether it will happen later.
When you become an aunt, it depends on how you take care of your figure.
Her face is relatively delicate and clean, with minimal makeup, her eyes are blue, and her brown hair is tied into a ponytail for easy management.
"How much do you want?"
Chen Xing asked.
The girl said in surprise: "It's only 100 euros a day, sir. I know all the attractions in Paris and most of the routes. You will definitely feel that it is well worth the money."
"How much does it cost to stay in a hotel in Paris for one night?"
"There are many good hotels near the station. Citadines is good. The price of a four-star hotel is about 175 euros. Other hotels nearby are also between 170 euros and 200 euros. I recommend Citadines to you mainly because of this place.
It is a long-stay hotel with a dedicated kitchen and daily tools such as tableware, washing machine, and iron."
After hearing this, Chen Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I should also need a tour guide, for example, to visit a museum in Paris?"
"Please believe me."
"Okay, you succeeded, please introduce me to some more places to live."
It was Chen Xing's first time going abroad, but he seemed extremely adaptable and communicated very smoothly with others. This girl didn't even know that Chen Xing knew French... Anyway, she was the one who spoke English first, and Chen Xing was just cooperating with her when he spoke English.<
/p>
Well, this has another advantage. If this girl talks to others about herself in French, he can understand her.
It seems that she is not a bad person, but she is thousands of miles away. If something happens, no one can help her.
You can never be too careful.
The tour guide’s name is Abel, and he lives in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
There are a total of 20 districts in Paris, which are slowly divided in the shape of a snail shell. In the middle, the smallest point in the middle of the snail shell is district 1, and then the numbers are slowly rotated, district 2, district 3 and so on.
To be honest, I have recently updated it, switched sources, and have many reading sounds. .yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.
According to Abel, the 11th arrondissement is an ordinary residential area in Paris. Housing prices are relatively cheap compared to other areas. Many Parisians live here. The 13th arrondissement is a Chinese area where many Chinese live, including Chinese supermarkets and Huaxia.
There are many restaurants.
As for the hotel, Abel also said a lot.
Chen Xing mainly wants to find a place to live at a reasonable price, with a larger room, preferably with a kitchen, and with guaranteed safety.
This kind of place is really hard to find.
If you want the best in everything, why should the price be expensive?
Is it possible?
It is really possible. Abel recommended a software called Airbnb, where you can stay in an apartment-style house at a relatively cheap price.
That is, a B&B.
Chen Xing took a look. The houses looked good, and the location was good. The most important thing was that they were very cheap. It only cost 130 euros a night, which was only about 1,000 in Chinese currency. Of course, this was also very expensive in Chen Xing's opinion.
