Well, we arrived in Paris sometime in 3:00, and somewhere an hour looking for the opportunity to park close to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur, for in her convent, we had to spend the night ... so here at 4 o'clock we landed in an area that the horror ... around with a lot of shop items .. ... suspicious individuals ... but to go where it was not ... at 20.30 we were to return to this site, take a sleeping bag, mat (which we later will not need !!!), the necessary things for the night and clean clothes poglazhennuyu to look good on the day ...

Frankly first day in Paris was a failure ... had very little time to visit the city because all the historical monuments are scattered throughout the city ... We should have to do as it once on a trip to Anapa - then we all found out thoroughly on the Internet about the holiday on the Black Sea just after learning site of Anapa.

We walked Montmartre - one of the most picturesque quarters of Paris, went up the hill on the stairs. The whole town is buzzing - it was the eve of Independence Day and the hill was a beautiful view over the city.

visited the most Basilica of the Sacre Coeur - the outside is snow-white building in the Roman-Byzantine style ... behind the church - a square bell tower, 84 meters high, with the famous "Savoyardy," one of the largest bells in the world, weighing 19 tons ... beautiful staircase leads to the front of the church, on both sides are the statues of St. Louis and Joan of Arc

church interior richly decorated with marble statues, gold and mosaics ... really very beautiful church ...

After some time, tired and wandering in different streets ... we bite the French Hotdog

sat on benches in the park and went to the bus which went to the monastery hosted the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur.

us very well there was. The main condition in the monastery is a constant prayer in the church during the day, so we split into groups. I prayed with the company from 12 to 12.30, an unforgettable experience. During the day the church is buzzing with an abundance of visitors in the evening - there quietly, quietness and atmosphere that is difficult to describe.

When we came down from the monastery to the church, began to fade organized a candle in the church. Late at night, we thought that to see the most need to go in Paris at 6 am and with that decision went to our rooms to sleep.

morning at 6 o'clock the whole company gathered at the exit from the monastery but there was no one at Reception, so we have half an hour fussing and trying to find a way out. But in the end the entrance to the Basilica were opened and we got to the will of ...))) ... to the expected sights of Paris.

purchasing a ticket for metro ... for considering the time constraints, we then could not see everything. His bride, we started with the Arc de Triomphe (52 m height), built by Napoleon I in honor of his powerful army ... Bearing in mind that Paris was celebrating Independence Day, we could not come close to it, because many roads were blocked.

few hours later, moved to the Eiffel Tower, Paris, who became famous throughout the world. Her height - 320 meters, there are three viewing platforms at a height of 57, 115 and 276 meters, which are accessible by elevator or stairs. We could not climb any of the sites, because at half past seven in the morning it still was not working and not enough time Balo.

On the way to Notre Dame in my eyes ran showcase decorated store products for babies - just lovely. With regard to the Council, then no words, no doubt about the pearl of Gothic architecture - about 40 minutes I was looking at him with admiration inside and outside. The street and park next to the cathedral of joy to the sparrows, who are eager to bridge at your hand and pecked cookies. It was at Notre Dame we found the parade of planes in honor of the holiday, its continuation, we then have watched from the ship.

a long time we were in the Louvre, one of the oldest and richest museums in the world. But just outside, since it was built the Louvre was first a fortress, a prison, later became the residence of French kings, then the academy, and finally became a museum in 1793. Inside, we did not dare to go, despite the fact that the entrance was on this day was free. This will be an opportunity, an opportunity to return to Paris! ...))) ...

We also managed to visit the Champs-Elysées, Champ de Mars, the Pantheon, Place de la Concorde.

in Paris near polutorachasov we went by boat on the River Seine ... where we saw about 20 outstanding architectural monuments and sites of Paris, the magnificent bridges, which we saw about 12 simply amazed by its beauty and friendliness of the people seized on the bridges - all of us waving his arms and smiled affably.
