Stepping out of the terminal in Airport Charles de Gaulle, I was amazed by the gorgeous scenes of the airport.We stayed in a hotel in the area called Montmartre. It’s near the center of town and dotted with elegant cafes and tea houses. Despite the jet lag, we visited the streets and local shops near the hotel with great joy. On the second day of our trip we had a boat trip up the River Seine and up the Eiffel Tower, the famous monument in the middle of Paris. The view from up there was terrific. The third day we went to Notre Dame, which is a large cathedral with beautiful stained glass windows. I have been dreamed to visit there since I read the renowned novel by Hugo the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The cathedral impressed me deeply for its grand exterior and magnificent history. We also visited the famous gallery the Louvre, The valuable artifacts and masterpieces in which dazzled every visitor’s eyes.We stayed in Paris for only four days, which was too short for vesting the city with a brilliant history.I wish have a chance to app reciate the city’s culture thoroughly in the future.to。
