The buildings in Paris city center
The layout of the centre is huge and long with Eiffel on on end and the Notre Dam on the other
A huge double highway lined with buildings build from days past
But my personal favorite "The Invalid Hostel"
Build by old Louis as hospital for old Soldiers and wounded soldiers. Actually the first hospital
Napoleons Bonaparte grave is right inside the center of this old Hospital
According to legend the hospital was A favorite visiting place for the old Napoleon
In the front are 18 canons captured from the German army in 1812 and who was used to fire salvos to celebrate great occasions
The worst is the Arc De Triomf
What a joke --it was always used For opposing armies to march through
I have seen photos where Hitler was in celebrating mood standing close by
Poor French beaten always even by the Vietnamese and Algerians, I can recall lately
This Paris is bustling but on Sunday all the big Shop Centers are closed
Only open are restaurants and some garages next to highway. Other garages are machine operated petrol cards-- Sundays are big time resting times
I just heard from other tourists that France is a beautifully landscaped country inhabiting by awful people
Yes that sums up my feeling too
