Well! from Germany,we just Drove to Paris, from South Of Germany to Paris, it takes 6hrs. Drive. When you drive the Highway passing Bruxelles and Luxembourg you have to pay the Toll Gate of approximately 40€. If you take the Landway of the Provinces you save 40€ and drive 1hrs. longer. Arriving France seeing the Highway ,my first Impression was so untidy, burned highway walls, Graffitti's everywhere and Garbage on the Streets, and everywhere was a Black plastic Garbage ready to pick up i supposed.
Like any Tourist Cities in Europe, There's a Huge Traffic driving to Paris, & the Hotels or Pension Houses cost more than outside Paris. So we checked in an Etap Hotel in Orly 20 min. away from Paris, and cost 40€, with WiFi. Bathroom and TV, Most Importantly very Clean and with 5€ additional you have Breakfast, the same Hotel inside Paris cost 130€. Driving to Paris is very easy thanks to the Invention of Navigational System, so we drove to the city of Paris to get the right Impressions, Most of the Carparks are on Basements and it cost you 3€ per hour. At the City when we walk on the main road, I
saw these huge Grand Architectural Ancient Palais with lots of round Columns in front or the "RICHELIEU WING", I love Old Buildings, they are the witness of a Countries Cultures.and I am talking about "The Palais Tuileries", I just want to take pictures, when I recognize People coming in and out of the Palais, of course, i did the same and walk in, and Surprisingly, we are heading to the Famous " LOUVRE ", originally a Palace but now one of the Largest and most visited Museum in the World. it is Located on the "1st Arrondissement", at the heart of Paris. There are about 35,000 Objects on display on this Museum from Antiquity up to the end mid 19th Century, Including the Famous " VENUS of Milo" and ,ofcourse " Leonardo Da Vinci's '
,MONA LISA". The Glass Pyramid was the newest attraction of the "LOUVRE". the glass pyramid was built 1989 by American Architect I.M. Pei. The glass pyramid is now the main entrance of the museum and to allow sunlight to the underground floor. I feel great seeing and beeing here in the Louvre Personally. Across the Street is a small "Arch Du Carrousel", It is
like the smaller version of the " Arch De Triomphe". So after picture taking we take a walk in the Park or the " Jardin Des Tuileries", be aware of the dust from the floor of the Park, because of it's central Location between the " Louvre & Place De La Concorde", this is the most visited Park in Paris. When you walk straight thru the Park on the Horizon you will see the Majestic Giant or the Famous " Arch De Triomphe ", this is well known all over the World , "Arch De Triomphe " was Napoleons Triumphal Arc, in the middle of Place Charles De Gaulle, stand the greatest Arc of History. The Arch was engrave with the names of Generals who commanded French troops during Napoleons regime. On the top of the Arc is a viewing platform or Observation deck. Dont walk across the street to go to the Arc it's dangerous, use the underpasses to the Arc and to go on top of the Ach, be prepared to walk up the 234 stairs. Champs-Elyssees, was located in front of Arc De Triomphe, at Champs-Elyssees,where you can find beautiful Cafes and Luxury shops, Louis Vuitton is
also a Tourist attraction. Parissiene also celebrates they're famous New Years eves with those beautiful lightnings of the beautifully trimmed trees of the Avenue.
Now lets go to " Place De La Concorde", the first that attracts me was the Beautiful Grandest Bronze Water Fountains, called " La Fontaine Des Mers" with it's Majestic Sculptures and between these two Fountains stand the Historical Monument called OBELISK, the 3,200 years old Obelisk,was originally from the Temple of Ramses II from Thebes , Egypt. The Obelisk was covered with Hiegrolyphs, picturing the reign of Pharaoh's Ramses II and Ramses III, pictures on the pedestal describe the transportation to Paris.
A Religious site called " NOTRE DAME", the famous Cathedral in the World, it is located at Ile De La Cite, and started more to be famous when the writer Victor Hugo's book, Notre Dame De Paris, starring Quasimodo. Ofcourse driving in the heart of Paris will Pass by the large impressive building of " Hotel Des Invalides", at the 7th arrondissement, this is the Place of Napoleons Army, from the Gardens and everywhere inside are a collections of different Canyons and even an Old Tanker. And the " Musee De
L'Armee, a large Military Museum on Left and Right of the Building. here stands the beautiful " Dom Des Invalides" with it's golden coated Dom that shines sparklingly in Sunrays. Dom Des Invalides also the place of Napoleons Gigantic Thomb at the center of the Dom, and around it were the Thombs of several Military Leaders.
And ofcourse I am most excited to see the Glamourous and the Sexy 120 years old most famous Cabaret " Moulin Rouge" or Red Mill in english. In this place were Performed first ever CanCan dance, today a visit her is a must. you'll find so many Tourists in front of the " Red Mill" that sits in front top of the Theater and Tourist inline waiting to go inside. But remember, this is an Adult entertainment,so those with Kids, should choose other activities,like the " Disneyland".
You will know that your in Disneyland when you see the Landmark of all Disneyland, Sleeping Beauty's Castle always dominant in the middle of the Park, the Park have 5 themes of Fun and Adventures, the first one is the Main Street USA, in an Architectures of the 19th Century of USA. Spend a shopping

What is Disneyland without a Fantasyland, it is the most important part of a Disney theme,here were you find Palaces,Princess and Prince, like the Famous Cinderella and Snow White. A World in one song in its a Small World, singing puppets in Costumes of Nations. One character what i love the most is Wendy with Peter Pan and go find Captain Hook, watch out that you dont get lost and find the Angry Queen in the Labyrinth of Alice in Wonderland, so are tired or not yet ,want a rest to take a Coffee? or better yet why dont you relax and sit in a Cup and Saucers that turning you around and around and then join the Adventures of Pinocchio.
Frontier Land was the most Exciting, Adrenalin rush and Enjoying Theme of Disneyland. Here you will find the Wild Wild West and enjoy the ride of a Big Thunder Mountain,a Miner Steam Train up and down the Mississipi Canyons.
Phantom Manor is like a Bridesmaid Haunted House, that's you'll have to find out yourself whats the tragedy behind her Wedding.
