Today we are going Villa Savoye, design by architect, Le Corbusier.
9am, we start our journey from hostel to Charles de Gaulle Etoile RER A station.
The train we are going to ride is a double decked train.
While we are waiting for the train, we saw a cleaner.
He is cleaning the vandalism drawing on the wall.
This train station's environment is not very good.
I can smell urine at the waiting area, and there is lots of rubbish on the floor.
Forget about the bad environment,
we are now in the train, heading to Poissy.
While the train go further, I can feel that we are going nearer to country side.
From tall buildings to small houses.
More green and nature elements.
We reached Poissy station around 10am.
Now we are going to wait for bus to reach Villa Savoye.
The pathway which leads to villa savoye.
I have studied villa savoye this building,
but I didn't know that it has such nature environment.
This is Villa Savoye.
It is a villa for Le Corbusier and his family.
It looks simple and blend into the environment.
It is a modern architecture design.
I am so lucky to be here to experience the space.
There is this little flower around the ground.
The contrast between it and the grass caught my attention when I was going to step on it.
The environment is so relaxing
We all started to roll around and lie on the grass
This place is so peaceful.
Standing under the shades by the trees, feel so secure.
Cool wind surrounding, you may just fall asleep if you just sit down quietly.
Peace
After a peaceful morning, let's have a afternoon with joy!
When we reach Charles de Gaulle Etoile station,
we walk up to the strees and WALAH !
There is street performance with huge crowds!
Arc of Triomphe
It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle.
It is an art historical images of
European and North American architecture and sculpture
from classical Greek to Post-modern.
After taking photos with this famous monument,
we are moving on to Art street.
we are moving on to Art street.
In Paris, you can find many boutique beside a walkway.
They normally sells magazines, postcards, and some groceries.
I noticed that in Paris, the cars on the road is less than people on the walkway.
Looks like people in Paris walks a lot !
A hourse car !
The white hourse looks so fantasy.
Just like the hourse ride by prince charming.
It will be wonderful by touring around the city in this car.
So we took metro to the Belleville station.
At this street, the artists have the freedom to express themselves.
They draw on the wall, turn a pole into a art piece, even a pot supporter.
There are also many artist workshop.
But when we are there, most of them are closed.
Anyhow, we manage to visit an artist workshop.
His name is Laoutec.
He draws its inspiration sources childhood and intimate attendance of Lascaux,
the welcoming mother of the arts.
The evolution of his work resembles the artistic adventure of an imaginary civilization.
His artwork floats out when you see them with 3D specs.
It's cool !
After a long walk for the whole day, I sat down at the side of the road for a rest.
Then, a fluffy fair dog pass by.
Paris people likes to bring dog walking around in the cities.
It's so lovely, human and dogs, the most loyal friend.
He sit down patiently beside his owner
while his owner is buying something in the boutique.
After a joyful noon, we end it with a
Romantic night~
We visit the Eifel tower again.
But this time, it is at night!
The lighting effects make me feel that
the Eifel tower has worn a golden garment.
It is totally different from the day time.
It's like~
Day time it represents a gentleman
Night time it represents a lady.
