France


I'll talk about France. I've been interested in the country since I watched a movie when I was a high school student. That movie's name is "Amerie". This is such famous French movie. I like that so much.








This building is the Louvre. This is a famous art museum. The museum has carried out universal role since the opening in 1793. That prides various collection and visitors through one year are about six million. The Louvre develops tour with guide or atelier, training course to the public or group of school. We can appreciate collection or tour inside the building or program which be held by three months.



There is triumphal arch in Paris. This building was built in 1836 and this is the symbol of France. Its height is 50 meters and width is 45 meter. It's so huge building. We can't across the road to this one, so we can go there through underpass. Reliefs are decorated on north, south, east and west pillars. French general's name are carved on the wall inside the triumphal . We can go to the roof with stairs (284steps) or elevator after buying admission ticket.







The height of the Eiffel Tower is 324 meters. The way to rise the observatory are stair or elevator but we should pay some money. The highest observatory is the third one and that height is 274meters and second one is located in middle height 115 meters. There is square under the tower and stand to sell souvenior or drink or confectionary line around the square.





Champs-Elysees avenues are from Charles-de-Gaulle place to Concorde place. The span is 2 kilometer and width is 70 meters. Cafe and the people who rest there lines the sidewalk. In addition, disney shops and souvenior shops are there and bustle with people too.






The Versailles Palace is located in the suburb of Paris. That has luxurious palace and garden and was built in 1682. That was the palace which was the center of politics, culture, art until the revolution in 1789. Stone statues of the people who appear myth or animals and bronze statues are put various places in the garden.





Mont-Saint-Michel and the bay are World Heritage Site and that is in the North-west of France, Normandy. That is called "ocean pyramid" because of monastery which displays high spire and appears in wide mud flat and the crushed buildings in the foot. That is peculiar scenery. The mud flats surrounded Mont-Saint-Michel and sink in a matter of seconds twice each year spring and autumn.




This is "Cafe des 2 Moulines" and known as "Amerie cafe". The shop is in Montmartre. There is the movie poster inside the shop and a menu which appear the movie is sold.
