To see Paris... And not to die.
To see Paris... And not to die.
Paris always suited Russian person. Who did not dream at least
Time in a life to visit Paris! To wander across Montmartre, to rise
On Ejfelevu a tower to see palaces of the French kings... Flight
To Paris it is long (more than 3 hours), but it is pleasant. Especially if to fly
Business class of native "Aeroflot".
Comfortable armchair, drinks - from juice to branded French
Cognacs, a smart dinner from the menu on a choice. It is possible to look a film
Or to listen to music, it is possible to look simply on the special
The screen, that there the such floats under a plane wing.
The Russian tourists who have arrived to Paris meet at the airport
With the tablet, unite in groups and carry on hotels.
The person for the first time opening for Paris, it is already expensive to
Hotel can enter into a status of an easy shock. Sung by the literature
gorodljubvi and poetry turns around dirty streets and quarters,
Where black persons meet much more often, than white. By words
One of the travellers, the first evening in Paris was full
Grief and bewilderment. Does not leave sensation that has got not in that
City.
In the morning all appears is not so sad. Parisians - the people
Very affable. Even ignorance of language does not deliver big
Inconveniences. Gains the benevolent relation to tourists and language
Gestures. On what a terrible mix of French, English,
nemetskogos Nizhniy Novgorod you tried to express, you
Will patiently listen and will try to help, will explain, will show or
Spend. Speak to live in Paris, the nobility of all suffices
Some words: "hello", "please", "excuse",
"Thanks", "good-bye" - and the bill from 1 to 5 (at least on
English).
Unusually for us the relation of the Parisian drivers to pedestrians.
Here you will pass, even if you go on red light, and
Will pass with a polite smile.
Concerning Paris fairly statement, that the European
Cities are intended first of all for people. It is indicative in it
Sense the relation to invalids. Here it is high-grade people,
Members of a society equal in rights, whose requirements are considered. On
Streets of willows transport there are special adaptations. If
The person is chained to an invalid armchair, it does not mean at all, that
The interesting life is inaccessible to it. It is possible to go easily
Practically on any excursion, up to lifting on Ejfelevuju
Tower. Already in the first day an abundance of impressions of Paris even
A little "presses down". But it concerns only old,
Historical city. It is no wonder, after all behind each stone costs
History. All seen, heard, read and
Safely forgotten after history lessons unexpectedly emerges in
Memories are found also by a life. Pictures from the present, more likely,
Distract from perception of a city Duma and Balzac.
Hearings about that Paris - a city very expensive, at all
Are exaggerated. Expensively all - excursions, a food, transport,
Clothes... Therefore it will be reasonable to a trip carefully
To plan expenses. Besides, there is a set of ways
To save. For example, excursions. As a rule, obligatory
The excursion program switches on a sightseeing tour on a city,
The pedestrian walks, visiting of the most known museums: the Louvre, Versailles.
Other excursions - for an additional payment.
Not to spend precious savings, it is necessary to know, that
Museum visiting during after-dinner time is cheaper, than in the morning, and if
You go to a museum group receive the additional
The discount. The difference is notable enough. For comparison: the independent
Visiting of the Louvre costs about 70 francs, group excursion in the afternoon
After a dinner - 35 francs. With a view of economy it is possible to get
Museum map. It grants the right of visiting of all museums of Paris in
Current of day.
It is necessary to know, that all museums work only till 18 o'clock, to that
One day in a week target - usually Monday or Tuesday.
To the tourist there is a sense to be defined, where and how to eat. It is possible
To reserve three meals a day in hotel, however it is expensive and not
Absolutely reasonably: in connection with an abundance of excursions to return by a dinner in
The hotel not always turns out. The majority of tourists berjut in hotel
Only the breakfast (marvellously dense) and to have dinner and supper
Prefer in a city. The French cafes and restaurants it is enough
Roads (the coffee cup costs from 15 to 35 francs). It is not necessary to have dinner and
In Parisian "McDonald's" (the assortment is less, and the prices above, than in
Russia,
- 30 francs for a hamburger, that is an order of 120 roubles). It is possible
To buy in the street "sandwich" - baguette with sausage,
Cheese, greens... They can gorge on, and there is it 21-22
Franc (90 rub). However the cheapest food - in Chinese
Small restaurants (7 francs for the second dish). Besides they work
Late, also it is possible to take a supper with itself in hotel. In Paris very much
It is easy to choose small restaurant. All prices for the basic dishes are exposed
On a show-window, sometimes there are even menus with photos. At once
It is visible, on what you can count. To make the order,
It is enough "to stick with finger" into the menu and to explain quantity
Reserved dishes.
"Properly" it is necessary to go and for
Purchases. In Paris there are whole streets of expensive luxurious
Shops, there are shops easier. It is possible to get the expensive
Qualitative things for the ridiculous price - on sales.
Grocery shops in Paris, as a rule, work from 9 o'clock
Mornings, the others - from 10-11. Surprisingly, but all shops work
Not later than till 18-19 o'clock. And only one day in a week
Shops work to 20 o'clock in the evening. Usually this day is designated
On a signboard.
The obligatory moment of visiting of shop is the greeting
The seller. The buyer should greet the first. However, it
Concerns any establishment.
Lunch time in all establishments of Paris - from 13 o'clock till 14 o'clock.
It piously and indisputably. At this time to tourists it is better not
To plan visiting of restaurants or cafe (all is filled
Having dinner employees) and to go at excursion. Amazes on
Streets of Paris an abundance of small restaurants and cafe. All central streets
Are simply filled by every possible cafes of different level for a miscellaneous
Prosperity. And the majority of Parisians visit them at all for
To eat and simply to communicate. As speak,
Parisians - the people "street". In the evenings any Parisian does not sit
At home. Besides apartments in Paris very small because of the mad
Dearness (the average salary of Frenchmen - about 10 thousand francs,
Them of 80 % leaves on habitation payment), therefore for the heart-felt
Conversation the people go to street cafes. Here it is possible
To stay some hours behind a cup of coffee or a glass of the mineral
Waters. An interesting detail: for similar pastime
It is accepted to occupy only not covered little tables. The little tables covered
Cloth, mean the order of a high-grade meal.
In Paris Russian travellers go on foot, to the underground is more often
Resort only if necessary: expensively, and from the point of view
poznavatelnosti it is inefficient. Going on walk,
It is necessary to take a map of the city. Feature of Paris - in
Intricate interlacing of streets. The statement, that is fair
Paris is a chaos in which there is no straight line. It is necessary
Very to watch closely a map. Even if you go strictly on
Straight line, it does not mean, that you all time go on one street.
Here many short small streets which it is unexpected
Begin and come to an end. Houses stand not simply very close
To each other, and merge in one bolshojdom more often. From street
In internal court yard conduct doors, and already from here it is possible to find
The necessary entrance.
Tourists are amazed Dyagilev's with area. This loud name
Smart entrance to a national opera, where Dyagilev is called
Spent Russian seasons. The street Dalidy is not less surprising also,
Which extent does not exceed 3-4 metres. In this street
The bench and bust of the singer have gone in only. Throughout all
Russian person waits for a trip, that just about before it will open
Paris beauty and haute couture, searches for perfect women in clothes "from
kutjur ", but and does not find. Many categorically declare:
Beautiful women in Paris are not present! Sometimes it seems, that at Parisians
The coquetry and desire to like are absent. Put on simply and
It is practical, on the first place comfort. It characterises all
Parisians. The main criterion at clothes choice is
Practicality. Style and the form of clothes for office practically not
Differ from the daily. As a rule, it krossovki, trousers,
Vests... Paris - a city democratic. Once ours
Travellers became witnesses of journey on train streets
The French president. Thus armed security forces abundances not
It was observed. And on a question, whether the president is afraid to go in
To the open car, Frenchmen have with astonishment shrugged shoulders: why it
He should be afraid, after all the general favourite, it was chosen by the people. "Not
Lose vigilance, show care! "- about it
Tourists warn at a meeting at the airport. In Paris
Very simply to become a victim of a robbery. Bags and purses pull out
From hands on the move, passing by on rollers or a motorcycle. In
Transport or in crowded places thieves-pickpockets without ceremony can
To deprive of you documents and valuable things. One group of the Russian
Tourists have robed directly during excursion to Tour d'Eiffel.
Travel to the underground also gives the defined
Danger: it is possible to undergo to an attack. To tourists advise
To use the underground only in the afternoon days and, besides,
To move groups.
Similar revelry of street criminality shows to the Parisian
The policeman special requirements. It is no wonder, that guards of an order
Are compelled to master new sredsta movement, for example,
The roller fads, that amazes Russian tourists much.
