I have a paradise

Chapter 664 History can really be changed at will

Next, everyone followed Tina while listening to her explanation, while admiring the distinctive buildings and beautiful scenery around her.The bodyguards in charge of security are hidden in the surrounding crowd. At this moment, they are maintaining a high degree of vigilance, keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation, ready to respond at any time.

"The Eiffel Tower was proposed in 1880. After a decision was made by the Parliament, construction officially began in 1887. The project took two years and one month to complete. This building was originally built for the World Expo held in 1889. .."

On the way to the Eiffel Tower, Tina kept explaining the history of the building and some interesting anecdotes to Wang Yi. Wang Yi also learned a lot about the Eiffel Tower.

For example, when this iron tower was built, many management groups in Paris’ literary, art, and architectural circles signed and protested the construction of the iron tower. Many people said that the construction of an ugly “big chimney” in this city with a history of several hundred years is not a problem. Accepting it, Maupassant even put out the cruel words, "If Paris is built into the tower, I will leave this city forever!"

Then after the tower is built, the most diligent person to eat and have afternoon tea in the restaurant on the tower is the great writer Maupassant╮(─▽─)╭.

Sure enough, the true fragrance theorem knows no borders!

Moreover, the restaurant here at the Fair Tower is also a mecca for marriage proposals. Every year, young couples from all over the world come here to experience romance. The effect is very good, but it is a little expensive.

I bought a ticket under the tower. The ticket is not expensive. A ticket for 5 euros can take the elevator up, which is equivalent to 40 yuan. It is much cheaper than the tickets of many scenic spots in China. If you don't take the elevator, it only costs three euros.Wang Yi remembers that when he was in college, he spent 180 yuan on a trip to the Longmen Grottoes. After entering, he found that there were not many stone statues in the caves, and the experience was poor.

The restaurant on the top floor of the Eiffel Tower dines at a distance of more than 100 meters from the ground. This location can overlook the entire Paris.Wang Yi brought people to the top-floor restaurant. Dining in this restaurant is not easy. Because of the height problem, this restaurant cannot receive too many guests.

Restaurant construction and decoration, even carpet tables and chairs, have strict weight restrictions, and even the chefs of the restaurant are assigned to the kitchen under the iron tower, so when you dine in the top floor restaurant, the meals are actually cooked from the ground. After that, it was sent up by elevator.

After sitting down at the table, Wang Yi asked Nie Wei to order, choosing a few signature dishes from the restaurant, plus a bottle of top-quality red wine from Bordeaux, France.

Sitting in the restaurant on the top floor while enjoying the food while watching the water of the Seine River below is a very good enjoyment.

After enjoying a delicious meal in the restaurant on the top floor of the Eiffel Tower, Wang Yi left the restaurant contentedly, and the next few people continued to play along the Seine River.On the other side of the Seine River is the famous Concord Square. When Wang Yi first heard the name, he thought this square was named by the Concord Hospital...

Later, after the tour guide Tina explained it, he realized that the Place de la Concorde was originally named this way, and it is also one of the symbols of the lighthouse revolution and freedom, but it is ironic that it stands tall in the center of the square. An obelisk from ancient Egypt.

This obelisk is the famous Luxor Obelisk. It is a national treasure of Egypt. It is carved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. In the mid-nineteenth century, the then governor of Egypt made this square with the idea of ​​paying tribute. The obelisk was given as a gift to the state of Gaul at that time.

They don’t feel ironic when they turn other countries into their own colonies and plunder all kinds of resources, while claiming that they are democratic and free revolutionaries.It was also on this square that Louis XVI, the last emperor of the Bourbon dynasty, was executed by a guillotine after his own improvement.

The irony is that the revolutionaries who executed Louis XVI, and the Jacobins, who ruled the country, were also executed here after a year.The Gaul country is very interesting. One of the favorite things of the people here is the revolution.

To the east of the Place de la Concorde is the Tuileries Garden, which was originally the property of a queen. The Tuileries Palace was once the residence of the emperor of Gaul. It was not until the completion of the Palace of Versailles.

During the French Revolution, this royal garden was nationalized and opened to the public. There are many sculptures in the Tuileries Garden, including masterpieces and it is known as an open-air museum.

After Wang Yi took a circle in the garden, they went on the previous week and passed the Arc de Triomphe of Caruso. It is said that this arch of Triumphal was originally built in the ancient Roman period. Built, but now many countries around the world have their own triumphal arches.

The triumphal arch in front of us was built by Napoleon for the victory of the Russian-Austrian army in 1805.Only until the death of Napoleon, this triumphal arch was not built.So he finally failed to pass this triumphal arch.

After passing through the Arc de Triomphe, Wang Yi and the others came to the Louvre Museum.There is a pyramid square outside the gate of the Louvre. This is a glass pyramid designed by the Chinese architect Mr. Bei Luming. From a distance, this glass pyramid is like a crystal palace, very beautiful.

In the middle of the street is a gilded statue of Joan of Arc, riding a horse, holding a high flag.The national hero of the Gaul Kingdom, Joan of Arc, was actually killed by her king. In Europe at the time, even if he was defeated and captured, he could be released back by paying a ransom.

The King Charles VII, who succeeded in becoming king because of her, was unwilling to pay her ransom. In the end, the unlucky Joan was bought by their enemy, England, at a high price, and was finally sentenced to fire by the Inquisition for heresy and witch crimes. But after twenty-five years, the pope overturned this ruling and rehabilitated her.

Seeing here, do you think she is very similar to a national hero from the Southern Song Dynasty in China, who was also used to expel foreign enemies and was framed by others, but the emperor was indifferent, and was also rehabilitated decades later, the difference is Gao Joan of Arc in the country of Lu was canonized as a saint, and the national hero of China was actually cancelled the title of national hero and then deleted from the history textbook.

In addition to Yue Fei, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing enjoyed this treatment. What is even more ironic is that in the history book, when the chapter "Han Wu Emperor Consolidates the Great Unified Dynasty" was introduced, the Han-Hungarian War was not mentioned. He has mentioned martial arts, how can he consolidate the unified dynasty...

History can really be changed at will.

ps: I don't know how long this chapter can live, let's see it.
