4. Triumphal ArcaLocated in the center of the star square. The arch is not only considered the most huge among everyone in the world, but also the official symbol of Paris.

The arch is better to get around, look through it back and forth, you can even go upstairs - look around. It is up to rise at least for the sake of the excellent panorama of the city and to thoroughly assess the geometry of the triumphal path.

One of the highways of Paris, whose name has very deep roots in Greek mythology (be sure to read the history of this attraction to understand it and feel it as possible).

Champs Elysees in Paris

The Elysee fields have always been a venue for all sorts of military parades on July 14 and November 11 - during the holidays that fasten the national spirit of the French. Here you can not only have a pleasant time in the company of beautiful landscapes, but also familiarize yourself with a lot of shopping centers, cinemas and even with the famous Lido Cabaret.

6. Moulin Ruzh. Now, as in the distant 1989, it is not just a cabaret room, but also a real way of life Parisians and visitors of the capital. Here they come for constancy, with which Moulin Rouge is represented: endless sparkles, feathers, original musical accompaniment and stunning scenery.

If you want to learn Paris in all its glory and with all his features - it is necessary to visit this institution, in which Oscar Walld and Picasso, and Charles Aznavour, and many other cultural figures, art and others visited.

7. Montmartre. Who else did not know about his existence - found out after the amazing movie "Amelie." This is not just a place where curious, it is the most picturesque quarter of Paris, where everything literally pisses with beauty, tenderness, freedom and endless inspiration.

10. And the latest ones are the most memorable sights of Paris are bridges. Yes, all the bridges of the capital of France without exception (and their 38).

Paris is a city that is better to see his own eyes! And let you not see everything at once, you will definitely have a desire to come back and rewarded to his unsurpassed atmosphere of history, culture, architecture!

Paris - a city that is better to see with your own eyes - video

Paris is a beautiful city with a lot of interesting and most beautiful places. The beginning of the French capital is deservedly considered the island of Site, which is the world-famous medieval cathedral Notre Dame de Paris. Look in this video on the most famous sights of Paris.

It will be nice if we share with friends:

I am striking with your wealth, variety and beauty. In Paris, you will find buildings built in various era and in various architectural styles.

From the buildings remaining from ancient Roman times to modern skyscrapers, the Defense quarter is all Paris.

Most structures that preserved the medieval architecture of Paris are religious. This is partly a question of longevity: Early secular buildings were built using combustible materials - wood and straw, and the cult facilities were built from stone and stood up the century.

In France, as in most European countries, the churches were evolved through a series of styles, starting with Romanesque. One of his signs is a traditionally wide central passage or non-nasty, as a rule, surrounded by narrow passages on each side.

If you visit the Church of Saint-Germain de Pre at the Boulevard eponymous, then you will see one of the few romance-shaped churches in Paris. Its construction goes back to the 10th century, but this church is still valid.

At the entrance to the Cathedral of Notre Dame

Of course, the first of the great gothic was and remains the magnificent Notre Dame de Paris, the beginning of the construction of which refers to the 12th century.

The adoption of the French throne of the King Francis I brought a huge benefit of the art and architecture of Paris. Being a big lover of art, he surrounded himself with the best creative minds of that time.

He invited Leonardo da Vinci to Paris and hired Italian architects for the repair of the Louvre. It is with this king that the appearance of Renaissance style in Paris is associated.

You all heard the Baroque word, and in Paris it is easy to see that this style is actually. Although Baroque first appeared in Italy in 1590, but reached its apogee in France 50 years later during the reign of Almighty Louis XIV.

Neoclassicism style, included in the late 18th century, left us in the legacy of amazing collections of Doric, Ionian and Corinthian pillars in various Paris buildings.

Baron Osman in the 19th century was one of the most successful townsders of Paris. His residential buildings are determined by the Paris Standard, its sewage is still working, and his reorganization of urban boulevards allowed Paris with his car traffic in the 21st century.

Modern styles and art nouveau are also widely represented in Paris architecture.

But the 70s are often regarded as a catastrophe for French architecture. This is not entirely fair, although some really terrible mistakes were made, in particular, the destruction of Les Halles in the center of Paris.

Rose on the square by changing its bright color and an unusual concept of the development of European architecture. It helped to make a career to many young architects who went to create fantastic buildings around the world.

Although the building of the Pompidou center appearance is radically different from its adjacent futuristic style, its height is not much higher than the surrounding urban landscape.

Paris remains largely 7-8 storey. In order for high buildings to destroy the usual Parisian horizon, a kind of architectural moratorium was introduced during this period.

Low-rise Paris remained untouched, and skyscrapers were sent to La Defense, a modern multi-storey suburb immediately behind the Arc de Triomphe.

You can still talk about the architecture of Paris for a long time, but for me personally this city is primarily associated with gray seven-story houses, french balconies, bizarre cast-iron fences, attic and tiny French inner courtyards, when neighboring windows sometimes are at a distance of an elongated hand.

Perhaps every person has an idea of \u200b\u200bParis even if he never happened there. Films, photos, reports - all of them show so gently guarded by the French city. Keep not just the buildings with their history, but also the holistic image of the city is not an easy task. You can even replace the window frames at the window going to the courtyard, you can only look at the same thing that we can talk about the construction of modern buildings - it is difficult to imagine how much effort and approval is the approval and incarnation of any architectural project. Exceptions, of course, are: the Montparnasss Tower hated by Parisians, the Institute of the Arab World and the Library of Francois Mittera. Numerous offices were impossible to accommodate within the city, so they were forced to settle in the nearest suburbs. So formed one of my favorite areas - Defans, a small New York.




I always liked to start a walk on Defenes from Esplanade de la Defense station, without reaching the Arch. The most deserted this area is in cloudy or frosty Sunday morning, though, on the other hand, to watch the crowds of identical clerks can also be pleasant too.




In Defense I come to relax from the grindiness of Paris streets. The greatness of the space is no good as good as where it is limited. What is the best in this area? This is what the area is not just a group of skyscrapers, but an organic and thoughtful space. Squares and statues, bridges and gardens, mitigating the coldness of glass buildings - there is not a single unfincable corner between them.



It is only possible to move away a few meters of Wobkov from the main alley to get into one of the squares, find a bun, flower shop or a quiet cafe. For example, Matsuri on the previous photo is my favorite network of Japanese restaurants with the freshest fish, Japanese beer, ribbons conveyors and reasonable prices.



My taste, the best coffee here, no matter if it is trite, in Starbax. This network captured Paris, won, it seems, even Macdo - as the French, with their habit to cut everything, is called. In Defanse Starbucks two - one almost at the foot of the arches in the mall, an excellent look, but there are almost never free tables, and the second one that in the photo is much more comfortable and free.


Defensa is the first and largest business district in Europe, and to make it outside the city was a great idea. Try from curiosity to come there by the beginning of the working day, or, say, exactly at noon, to the beginning of the lunch break. It is difficult to believe how many people comes daily on their cars. If you imagine the narrow Paris streets loaded by traffic jams and cars of all these clerks, it becomes clear that there was simply no other location option for a defan.


The 15-meter stability of the caldera is the official meeting place, although in fact the point of meetings and expectations - the steps of the Arc defence itself.


Square and Esplanade - the whole pedestrian zone - as it were suspended above the complex intertwining of roads, junctions and parking. It's most reliable to get on the car - after all, people in Defans not only work, but also live. For a while, I even thought to remove the apartment there, I really wanted to better explore these endless secret courtyards and shops - but, again, without a car it would be difficult to get out somewhere else, but I'm not ready to live without forests and parks.


This, by the way, exit from one of Parking, once again proving that nothing left when planning the area. And it is precisely this, probably wakes up an excitement in me - to detect as much as possible, but carefully thoughtful corners.



Quatre Temps - the largest shopping center in Europe - also differs in non-banknality: a pleasant complex in which, however, is easier to get lost.



Usually the ladders of the arches are covered with people: someone is waiting for a meeting, someone documens, the rest just look. It is for what - it is from this point, in my opinion, it is best to enjoy the impressive size of the surrounding space.


And, although you can go up in a transparent elevator capsule on the roof and look at the triumphant path from above, I like to stay below.





And the mandatory point of my walks here is to wait for twilight, when everything around will be transformed and you can walk, no longer turning around, right on Esplanade, to reflect in all skyscrapers and in some statues, and with a peaceful soul to go home.

Why, every time I need to stop and think, just click on a pause to get out of a brought a circle of thoughts, I need large spaces, air. In the art of the city in such cases I come to the Institute of Arab World.



Along the way, I stop near one of the street pancakes, or I buy an excellent sandwich with goat cheese in Eric Kayser (14 Rue Monge) and a parrot in one of the underground parking lots near the embankment.


The Institute of the Arab World is the expensive creation of Jean Nurel, a great museum and a huge library, but usually I miss them, going right away to the roof.




The southern side of the building is covered with titanium diaphragms, which should measure the level of daylight lighting and maintain a permanent level of lighting inside, but, apparently, performed exclusively decorative function, repeating the ornament of "Mushararab".




And one more excellent challenger for the Day of the Day "from the usual Paris is the Francois Mitterian library. Sometimes I come there on the subway: 14 branch, according to which it is convenient to get there, is the first and so far that the only fully automated metro in the Parisian metro, which means that you can implement a children's dream and drove on the place of the driver. I am with Sonya, who has no year, I prefer to get there by car. Fortunately, in this part of the city, the traffic jams usually do not happen. The most convenient parking under the Palace of Sport Bercy: If only do not come during a concert or competition, Parking is usually empty, and I have a lot of empty parking lots, like a Parisian, special love.



The exit from Parking is located in the flesh of Bercy, a permanent location of Tusovski Roller and skaters, well, and standard elderly Parisians, young runners and families, walking dogs.



But the main friend of this Park is the French Sinemtec, in which, in my opinion, everyone should go.


Looking, undoubtedly, a great film and walking around the park, you can go through the wavy bridge through the Seine to the library itself. Four buildings in the form of revealed books - the tower of laws, numbers, times, letters; The French are especially proud of this library. By the way, they one of the first began to scan their archives and now they can be found on the site.



The library is actually located not only in the towers, but also throughout the territory, more precisely under this territory. Between the towers in the center of the square covered with wooden bars, you can see that the library leaves for 7 floors down, and on this "second day" pine are growing, just reaching the tops to the "bottom" of the first. This is the biggest library of all I used, and sometimes I come there simply to wander inside. In addition, the library uses its spat and for exhibitions. Unfortunately, shooting in the library is prohibited and followed by this strictly, so there are no photos from there, but I personally would have sent those who wish to understand Paris rather than on the Eiffel Tower.



Pines attract not only the views of visitors and snacking sandwiches between students' towers, but also birds, which sometimes fly with huge flocks and are twisted between the towers, before the branches are tightly rows.


On the street to the right of the library, if you stand back to Seine, there is a great shop of reduced train models and machines. And although they are not at all into the list of my interests, I find yourself in this shop every time I have never left without a completely unnecessary to me, but a completely perfect model of the steam locomotive.




The area under construction and office buildings around the towers is called Paris Rive Gauche, and this is one of the largest architectural projects in Paris at the moment. Walking around this area, it's hard to believe that you are in Paris.


And among all this glass-concrete beauty is Les Frigos (http://les-frigos.com), a former giant refrigerator, populated by the artists and artists, in the French sense of the word. It is possible to officially get into it only at specific exhibitions whose timetable hangs on their website, but in fact I have more than once quietly came there. On ordinary days, all the workshops are closed and not particularly not to look at what, just once a week there are completely unthinkable closed parties, from some stories about which it becomes slightly in itself.



At Avenue De France, I go to the bio-cafe Exk, eat spinage soup with french bread and one of their great desserts, or I go into my favorite, but more expensive Le Notre, about the range of which it is even meaningless - they are tasty everything. In addition, they sell their dishes to the honeycomb, so if you really want to hit someone with your culinary abilities, and it is absolutely too lazy to cook and warm up the dish purchased in Le Notre.


On the Rue Neuve Tolbiac is the paradise of cheese lovers, a restaurant and a cheese shop FIL \u200b\u200b"O" fromage, whose owner is perfectly dealt with cheeses and in wines, to them suitable.


On the embankment in front of the library, Batofar, an ancient ship-lighthouse, which became a club and a concert venue, and in the summer there is also a cafe.


And on the other side of the bridge, a floating pool Joséphine Baker with a revealing roof is harvested. You can pay in it in just 3 euros, and one lesson for swimming is worth 13 euros. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the pool works for a couple of hours longer than usual, so you can arrange a night bathing after a long walking day - up to 23 hours.

June 30th, 2014

All those who have been in Paris or at least saw him on the photographs, knows how typical Parisian building looks like. Despite the fact that in Paris a huge, simply inhuman number of buildings built until the XIX century, unique architectural monuments, medieval temples, and so on, after all, a significant part of the city is built up at the end of the XIX - early XX century with houses weathered in a single style.

The Great French City Planner Georges Egyse Osman, reorganized in the 1860s, reorganized in the 1860s in the 1860s - about 60% of the city's area was subjected to redevelopment, many medieval buildings were demolished, removed wasteland, and the city turned into a network of long wide boulevards, comfortable and for travel , and for the passage, and for other things. This process was called the Omantization of Paris, you can read more than reference.

Prior to osmanization, the height of residential buildings in the city was strictly limited to 22 meters - it was associated with narrow streets; With a higher construction, the light simply did not fall into the streets. Wide boulevards and multiple demolition of old buildings made it possible to raise the bar, the buildings rose to 6-9 floors. For example, Typical Osman-type houses on Monzh Street. The facades of these houses are called: Façade HausSmannienne Classique (Classic Osmanovsky Facade):

Osmanovsky type houses were massively built in Paris from the 1860s to the 1930s; All styles of architecture "customized" under this type. Even the most fierce modern, created by the Great Jellow by Lavirhytom or EKTOR Himar, in general, fits into the style and has a similar internal structure. Here is a view from our window to a number of Osman houses:

And today we will see what the Omanian house from the inside looks like. It is clear that there are certain differences. But in general, all that is. In Paris, clean entrances, beautiful doors, elegant stairs and elevators, beauty and comfort. After reading this post, remember your entrance, leave and make a repair there :)

So, our close attention is paid to the late House of Osmanovsky type, built in 1931 by the architects by Jean Bushcher (not to be confused with his contemporary and twin - sculptor) and Henri Rowan. The snapshot was made in January, in my past trip, but on it the trees do not close the house foliage.

First outdoor details. It is clearly visible typical "French balconies" (large window to the floor and safety fence), street lamp.

There, at the top, the attic attacks are barely visited - we lived there.

On the walls of all Osman houses, there is no compulsory architect. Most often she is beautiful and neat, immediately somehow was made.

Please note that all surfaces on which pigeons can be buried are mandatory covered with antigolubine pins.

And here is our entrance.

Mandatory intercom. You can dial the apartment number, code or open with an electronic key.

Entering the entrance, we fall into the pre-banker. He has several functions. Here has access (keys to the outer door) Postman, which leaves letters here. In vintage houses outdoor doors, most often beautiful, wooden (), storing the appearance of the house. Here they are metallic, because the 1930s house. But in any case, the inner door is already modern, if necessary, insulated or weighted. Here is a glass, to a greater extent for beauty and screening unwanted visits.

View outward

Buttons for opening the door and inclusion of light in the pre-banker - the original, 1931.

Most often in the pre-banners are located rows of mailboxes, but it is a pretty expensive house, and then the letters will distribute concierge on apartments. All letters postman brings to one common box, the concierge filters spam and sorts them.

Internal intercom. Most often, it is a list of residents by surnames with buttons. Here, I repeat, the house is quite cool, and therefore an electronic intercom - the surname must be selected from the list on the screen, then call. Here you can dial the code or open the inner door with an electronic key.

For example, I will give a couple of pictures of other entrances of Parisian houses. For example, this is:

But the pre-banker of another entrance. Nehilo, yes? :) Cooks are visible to the right away.

Anyway. From the pre-banner, we finally get into the entrance itself. The far door on the left is the one through which we entered. The door is opposite, in which I reflect the distorted, connects the entrance to the neighboring. The distant door on the right leads to the Concierge Cabinet. The near door to the left leads to the courtyard and to the rear stairs. Elevator and staircase behind my back.

In the entrance to the seal, remove hard and uncomfortable. Here is a view of the other side, from the entrance to the entrance. You can see the elevator and staircase. Little door opposite the elevator - pantry.

Battery and mirror. I am a vampire, I do not reflect.

Elevator 1931 buildings, small. Near the door to the elevator.

The flash looks like this. Also crookedly :)

Cab rubbed with a tree.

But it has already built a modern console. Floors eight (more precisely, zero floor, where there are no apartments, and seven).

We will not go to the elevator with you, but to the courtyard. The door leading to the right next to the exit to the courtyard is the door to the rear stairs and to the technical premises, we will still go there, it's interesting.

Whether it is - a view of the entrance from the door leading to the courtyard.

The door opens automatically, it is on the photocell.

The courtyards are very different. Sometimes green with lawns, sometimes such - concrete.

However, even here tenants try to maintain greens.

The yard goes the rear doors of all entrances at home. Furniture for unloading, for example, are brought here. Immediately cleaners go between the entrances.

Here is the back door.

Inclined windows near the doors are stained glass staircases.

In the courtyard is bored, went back. In the boxes and cabinets, sometimes very broken, because they are 80 years old, there are various communications, distributors, as well as, for example, fire fighting agents.

Now let's go back to the entrance and go up the usual front staircase. In all Omanov's houses, the stairs in the pockets of the screw, but at the same time very wide.

It really is dark. You can only shoot with flash. Here is a sample site. In the middle - entrance to the elevator, on the sides - two entrances to the apartments. I have never seen more than two apartments on the site, but maybe this also happens.

Floor wooden, there is a carpet.

Apartment doors in 99% of the cases are duplex. Let me remind you that until Soviet times in old houses, too, there were wooden double doors everywhere. While their planned did not change for any dirtyness.

Stained glass window from within.

There is nothing more on the sites, let's go from this darkness to learn interesting. Remember that door to the right, what did I show you about the exit to the courtyard? A real subsoil of the Parisian house is hidden behind it. If you enter it, you suddenly find yourself on the second, rear elevator area. The dark and extremely inconvenient to shoot.

Right opposite this - the technical - elevator is the door to the trash can. Collection of garbage separate: glass, plastic and so on.

Well, like this, with a flash, better.

But this is not a room and not a room. If you rebuild your head at the tanks, it becomes clear that this is another inner courtyard.

Let's return to the elevator site and go to the elevator. He, too, 1931, as the main.

Cro-oh-oh-ox.

Focus! There is one next floor than in the front elevator!

Tree, copper, beauty.

The only thing is: For security reasons, a modern system with glass doors "trolleybus" type is built-in - in addition to twisted grid.

In general, on each floor there is still such a playground. Here are the rear doors of apartments (usually from kitchens).

Details and artifacts.

If you look out from the window of this site, it will be found that we just look at the garbage tanks.

It is possible not on the elevator, but on the stairs.

But we are most interested in the mysterious 8th floor, which should not be in the house.

Actually, this floor is the legendary Parisian attic. From the elevator in the distance is a corridor with doors.

The light here is pretty dull, lighting from windows on the ceiling or artificial. Each buying apartment in this house receives a room in the attic - perfectly separate. That is, in the house of 7 floors, 14 apartments, and on this attic - 14 rooms.

The corridor ends with the door to the next corridor, where the mansard rooms belonging to the next entry apartments.

Lighting window.

Most rooms (in this case, 13 out of 14) are surrendered. It is in a good area such a birdhouse about 1000 euros per month plus communal. Use open gas in the rooms is strictly prohibited.

Doors wooden. But this is brazed with a tightly steel sheet. As far as I understood from the explanation, there was some unfavorable element here, something did not share something with the owner, and the owner from sin away, putting a comrade, the door brewed. This is due to the fact that in French laws, the apartment is protected very well, but the owner is not very.

In the corridor - everything you need. Fire extinguisher.

Staircase folding.

The door behind the elevator is a public toilet. The fact is that by law in the attic you can not have sewage (toilet and bathroom). Typically, the surveyor is reworked under the kitchenette. But specifically in the one where we lived, a separate system was carried out; We had our toilet and shower. But for those who have no them, the public is intended.

If we look out of the side window at the end of the corridor, we will see ... Another inner courtyard.

The tops of such "wells" are tightened with a protective grid so that every nastiness does not fall.

Public toilet. Based, but purely.

View from the window:)

Sorry, friends, but I will not show you the room itself. Personal space, socks and panties are crushed. One wall beveled, there is a window. Outside - steel shutters.

The window comes out on such a roof.

Roofs in Osmanian houses are covered with different materials. This chic, we would have it everywhere instead of roofing tin.

Along the windows there is a drainage chute and sewer tube.

All the edges of the roof are mandatory treated with antigolubic pins.

And the view from the window is such. Picture made Tanya during the preparation
