Champs Elysees & Arc De Triomphe

After we been walking for about 20 min, finally we reach Avenue Des Champs Elysees. I took this photo outside monoprix. When i lifted up my camera, a guy stop and make a funny face just like i wanted to shoot him. What the....There was this problem in Paris you know, hehe.The famous Champs Elysees.
Finally i saw this LV shop, which like a holy place for the girl. We didn't went in to the shop. I kept on asking allysa, " are you sure you don't want to go in?? you sure you don't want to buy ??" When she though of her elephant, she feel so feed up and make up her mind not to go in. Hmm... definitely she will buy something if she go in.
Peugeot on Champs Eleysees
Some teen performed street dance, and it attract so many attention.
Arc De triomphe was located at the end of Champs Elysees. The arc was the center of sun, 12 straight line of street expend from here. It also linked old paris with new paris. It also act as a big roundabout.
France flag inside the arc. Under the flag, a candle burn 365 days to memorize those soldier who lost their life in war.
The best angle to take the photo of Arc De Triomphe was stand at middle of a busy road. However i don't want to risk my life. So i lower down my standard and took the photo from the side.
The street view of Champs Elysees from Arc De Triomphe. See the traffic light? that is the best spot to shoot the photo.
Opposite of Champs Elysees was the road to New Paris i think. The new Arc De Triomphe can see from here.
France government had done a good job in city planning. In fact Europe government all done a good job. In old Paris, you will not saw any high rise and modern building, you just blend into it and you stared to appreciated it.所有的建筑物和四周的环境就是那么和谐的融合在一起。又如蒋蘍说的天空线。也许只有在人文修养都达到了一定的程度,我们的国家才能效仿欧洲那样,开始去欣赏这种老旧美,开始摒弃为了获利而进行的商业化行为,来创造一个美的环境。纵使我们没有他们的悠久历史和文化的熏陶,可是还是有一些地区能够与他们媲美。当我们一味的冲向先进国,样样要求高科技的当儿,能不能放缓脚步,去欣赏原本已经在那里的资产,去珍惜历史留下的遗迹。
