My trip to Paris.

My trip to Paris.

I have dreamed for a long time, maybe as anybody else to go to Paris... I was surprised when I was told that because of my status in social nets «I Wanna to see Paris, » My dad read it, by chance. So I was lucky to visit this beautiful city on the Seine. My father and I went there in the summer of 2012.

On the first day we went for a walk along this beautiful and interesting city. Really, beautiful! We took a trip on a small, but comfortable boat on the Seine River and saw a lot of sights. We could admire by wonderful sights of the city.

During the second day of our trip I felt the atmosphere of Versailles. Just imagine, I was in the Palace-and-Park ensemble in France, the former the residence of the French kings in the city of Versailles, now it is a suburb of Paris and a tourist center of world importance. Versailles was built in the time of Louis XIV from 1661 year, and became a monument to the era of the «king-sun», art-architectural expression of the idea of absolutism. The Versailles castle is one of the most famous monuments of the cultural heritage in the world.

The third day was full of magic I visited Disneyland. Disneyland Paris is an entertainment resort, a new town in the eastern suburbs of Paris, located 32 km from the centre of Paris. It is home for two theme parks, seven hotels, and a shopping, dining entertainment and complex. Here begins your biggest and wonderful adventure. A world full of joy and happiness opened for you. Children and adults, all of who would be in a Magic country Disneyland will be a welcome guest. Disneyland is the land of fairy tales and fantasies, where dreams come true!

But most of all I liked the Eiffel Tower. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. It has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; 7.1 million people ascended it in 2011. The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010. The tower stands 320 metres tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. The tower has three levels for visitors. The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France.

Colour

Throughout its history, the tower has repeatedly changed the colour of his paint - from yellow to red-brown. The last decades of the Eiffel tower invariably painted in «the brown-eiffel» - officially patented colour, close to the natural shade of bronze, which is barely visible at night photo of the Eiffel tower.

It is so good to sit on the embankment of the famous river, enjoy the spicy smell of French croissants and dream...You ask me what can people dream about being in Paris? About sweet home, hot borshch and fried potatoes.
