Musee d'Orsay 奧塞美術館

Musee d'Orsay.

The first day in Paris...what should we see there? Of course, you could not miss lots of museums and the landmark--Tour Eiffel. So...Peggy and I decided to go for the Musee d'Orsay and Tour Eiffel today.
第一天在巴黎...該去哪好呢?當然囉!在巴黎不能錯過許多知名的美術館,博物館和巴黎的地標--艾菲爾鐵塔.所以,我和Peggy早決定好今天要到奧塞美術館和艾菲爾鐵塔報到啦!

Musee d'Orsay was a train station before 1986 but nowadays it collects plenty paintings before 1870s as well as lots of works of 19th Century such as Romanticism, Neoclassicism, Naturalism, Realism and Impressionism. I personally like the Impressionism the most and I knew there are plenty great paintings of Monet, Renoir, Degas, Sisley and Van Gogh were collected in Musee d' Orsay. I love Monet's scenery paintings and Renoir's People paintings very much. Other than paintings, there are also some art statues by Rodin and Degas. It would take you at least 4 hours to look around all the works. So do wear a pair of comfortable shoes to there :)
奧塞美術館的前身是1986年以前的奧塞火車站,而現在的它收藏了許多1870年以前的繪畫作品和為數不少的19世紀繪畫作品,包括了浪漫派,新古典主義,自然主義,寫實主義 和印象派. 我個人最喜歡浪漫派也知道有不少莫內,雷諾瓦,竇加,希斯里和梵谷的畫被珍藏在奧塞美術館. 我最喜歡莫內的風景畫和雷諾瓦的人物畫. 除了畫作外,在奧塞美術館裡也還有不少羅丹和竇加的藝術雕塑. 想逛完整個美術館至少要4個小時吧!所以啊!請穿一雙舒適的鞋吧!

Notre Dame 聖母院

Notre Dame

After walking around the musee d'Orsay, Peggy and I decided to go to Notre Dame before aheading to Tour Eiffel around sunset time. Notre Dame is famous because of the novel/movie/musical --Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. The gothic cathedral, its beautiful glass rose window and the huge bell on the top of tower are the key reasons for tourists.在吸收完不少藝術氣息後,我和Peggy決定在夕陽西下前到艾菲爾鐵塔的行程前先到著名的聖母院朝聖去.聖母院的名氣來自於響噹噹的法國大文豪雨果的名著小說(後來被改編為同名的電影和音樂劇)--鐘樓怪人.還記得我小時候看到這本書的封面就嚇得不想看呢!!聖母院的哥德式建築,美麗的玫瑰窗和塔頂巨大的銅鐘都是吸引觀光客的主因.

Tour Eiffel 艾菲爾鐵塔

Blinking Tour Eiffel

Toue Eiffel...you could see quite often when you are in central Paris. I was quite excited everytime I saw it even I had been seen it many times. We went to Tour Eiffel by the time of sunset for we could have the chance to see both daytime and night time Tour Eiffel and experience the romantic atmosphere. The Tour Eiffel could be divided into 3 levels and tourists could decide which level they would like to stop. We, OF COURSE, would go for the top level to see the whole Paris. It is a great experience to see the whole Paris was under your feet and you are at the top of Tour Eiffel. I think that I will try it over and over again everytime when I have a chance to be Paris.

艾菲爾鐵塔...在巴黎市中心,要常看到艾菲爾鐵塔不是件難事.即使我已經看過它不少次了,每次看到它總還是覺得很新鮮和興奮. 我們是在黃昏時去給艾菲爾鐵塔看的.這個時候去,可以同時看到白天和夜晚的它,呈現不同的感覺並享受那種浪漫的巴黎夜晚風情.艾菲爾鐵塔共分成三層,觀光客可以選擇自己想到的樓層.我們!當然是到頂層囉! 這種把巴黎市的萬種風情盡收眼底和站在最頂層的艾菲爾鐵塔俯瞰巴黎的經驗相當難得而過癮.我想,若還有機會再來巴黎,我一定不會錯過這樣的機會的.
