Goodbye, Paris

This morning,we bade adieu to Paris, a city with multifacets.

The Last Day in France

Visited the Eiffel Tower, the château de Versailles et the Arc de Triomphe today.

Louvre, You Took My Breath Away

Visited Louvre today. Only stayed there for one and a half hours. According to the tour guide, if we spend 30 seconds on each art work, seeing all the treasures will take one year!

Can't Believe It! I'm in Paris

We left the Alps around 1pm, heading for Geneva to take TGV to Paris. It took us around 3 hours to get there, arriving at 9:49pm. When we got there, the sky was just gradually getting dark, but almost all the stores were closed. Now I'm in Paris, a place I've been dreaming to visit. Tomorrow is the first day to explore it.

Merci beaucoup!

The Alps, Here I Am!

The Alps, you stunned me!

 

Avignon, France

"Sur le pont d'Avignon..."  A song I learned in college when learning French.  And now I'm here in Avignon.

Arles, France

Arles, though painted with sunshine, still carries a shade of sadness.  A place where Vincent van Gogh found his inspiration and also fought against his mental illness.

In Nice

Good morning!

I'm in Nice, France!  See you.

"You lose some; you win some."

A photo taken in front of the Beitou Library, the first Taipei's green library, on May 3. How I love the serene color of the flower!
