  • The building architecture is very unique. As you may heard about, everything is inside out. The escalators and colourful pipes are outside the building. Each colour can represent to the type of pipe, such as air-conditioning is blue, water is green, and electricity is yellow.

    I didn't spend time much inside the building. I just walking around and see the trendy objects which are selling on the second floor.

    I also get into the book store in there. It contains many of books about art and architecture. It's very interesting if you are searching for one.

    The wide space in front of the building is also interesting. There are many people sit around and watch the shows by anonymous artist. If you don't have anything to do on Sunday. It's good to spent time here to take a rest and enjoy the shows.

    Invalides: Invalides - Napoleon's Tomb

  • Invalides is the place of historical of french army. When you get there, you can walk around the outside space or you can get into the building.

    In this building, it's called Musee de L'Armee. The entrance fee is 5 euro. This price is reduced already because I use Youth Card to make some discount.

    When you go straight ahead and look into the basement floor, you will see the great Napoleon's Tomb.

    Furthermore, there is a museum contains historical objects of war. Also having video presentations about world war, you can take a seat for seeing there.

    Beside the building, there is a canteen. I had lunch here. Taste is not bad at all. The dessert is much more interesting.

  • My friends and I started our trip from metro Chemin Vert. We walked around 10 minutes through the small street name "Rue de Bearn". The buildings are formed into symmetrical square shape and the park is located inner side of them.

    The park is very lovely. There are some statues and fountains located around the park. The weather on that day was so nice. I've seen many parisian and tourist come to join their activities.

    After that we walked along the building on one side of the square. There are many lovely restaurants, cafe, and boutiques. Then we passed to another side of the square where the Hotel Sully is located.

  • The Hotel Sully is one of 17th century style mansion in Paris. What you see here is the backyard of the hotel. It is quite a peaceful place and plenty of ivy makes building around this backyard more and more beautiful.

    However, I didn't take a look inside the building. I just walked around and get into the souvenir shop at ground floor to find some postcard :D

    Directions: If you stand at one side of Place des Vosges("Rue de Bearn" street), the Hotel Sully is located in the oppisite side ("Rue de Birague" street).

  • There was raining at the moment I took this picture. I think it will be much much more beautiful if the weather is clear and not cloudy. T T

    Later then, I cross the road and go to Opera de Paris Bastille. I didn't get inside the building, just walking around the front area.
