Best Places To Visit In Paris

History of Paris

Paris was founded in the 3rd century B.C. by a community of Celts. They were a tribe of fishermen known as the Parisii who established a permanent settlement along the Seine River’s banks and benefited from the region’s abundant resources and moderate temperature. The islands in the Seine also appeared to be the ideal location for this small town to locate its capital.

During the First World War, Paris was spared the German invasion thanks to the victory at the Battle of the Marne, which included support from Parisian taxis. The old city wall of Theirs, which had served as a barrier for the city ever since the war of 1870, was dismantled in 1919 amid the happy spirit that preceded the return of peace.

In June 1940, the Wehrmacht invaded and took control of Paris during the Second World War. Despite the challenges of rationing, the detention of Jews, and the execution of hostages, the capital continued to pursue its dramatic and intellectual activity. At the Gare Montparnasse, Von Choltitz signed the German forces’ surrender on August 25, 1945.

Best Places in Paris

Eiffel Tower

On March 31, 1889, the Eiffel Tower was dedicated in Paris in a ceremony presided over by Gustave Eiffel, the tower’s designer, and attended by French Prime Minister Pierre Tirard, a handful of other dignitaries, and 200 construction workers.

The French government organized an international exposition and launched a design competition for a monument constructed on the Champ-de-Mars in the heart of Paris in 1889 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The Centennial Committee selected Gustave Eiffel’s proposal for the world’s highest manufactured building, an open-lattice wrought-iron tower that would rise over 1,000 feet above Paris out of more than 100 ideas submitted.

The 984-foot-tall Eiffel Tower is made of an iron framework supported by four masonry piers, from which four columns rise and combine to form a single vertical tower. There are three levels of platforms, each with a viewing deck. Elevators ascend the piers in a curved pattern, and Eiffel hired the American Otis Elevator Company to create the tower’s renowned glass-cage elevators.

And on to Notre Dame!

Notre Dame Cathedral

The Roman Catholic cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris also referred to as Notre Dame, is situated on the Ile de la Cité’s eastern side. It is regarded as one of France and Europe’s best examples of French Gothic architecture. This cathedral, which started in 1163 and finished in 1345, is stunning, with numerous sculptures and gargoyles that embellish the roof.

We suggest you first take a tour of the cathedral before entering and ascending the 387 steps to the summit of the towers. Although the ascent to the towers’ summits can be strenuous, the reward is a panoramic view of the surrounding area and a close-up look at the famous gargoyles.

Louvre Museum

The Great Louvre, also known as the French Grand Louvre, is the official name for the Louvre, which is France’s national museum and art gallery. It is located in a vast Parisian castle constructed on the site of Philip Augustus’ fortress from the 12th century on the right bank. It is the most popular art museum in the world, and its collection includes works from prehistoric times up until the middle of the 19th century.

This medieval castle was demolished in 1546 by the famous art collector Francis I, who also started construction of the Louvre, another royal house nearly all French kings expanded after him. The current Louvre, designed by Pierre Lescot, was only partially constructed during the reign of Francis I. This original piece is now the Cour Carrée’s southwest corner.

Arc of Triumph

One of the most well-known structures in Paris is the Arc de Triomphe, located at Place de l’Etoile. It is located near the start of the Champs-Élysées, in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle (formerly Place de l’Étoile). The names of all French triumphs and generals are etched on the interior and exterior surfaces of the Arc de Triomphe, which honors those who fought and died for France throughout the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The First World War grave of the Unknown Soldier is located beneath its vault.

On Napoleon’s instructions, Jean Chalgrin created the monument in 1806; it was unveiled six years later, on the occasion of the Three Glorious anniversary, in 1836. It was the world’s largest triumphal arch before Pyongyang’s arch, built in 1982 at 50 meters high, 45 meters wide, and 22 meters deep. The Roman Arch of Titus served as design inspiration.

One of the nine hundred associations of former warriors who have reunited under the association La Flamme sur l’Arc de Triomphe rekindles a flame every evening at six thirty as part of a rite honoring the Great Dead. This daily kindling ritual was carried on without interruption during the Occupation.

Palace of Versailles

One of the most remarkable works of European architecture from the 17th century is the Palace of Versailles. King Louis XIV, King Louis XIII’s son, moved the royal court from Paris to Versailles in 1682 due to the royal family’s fondness for the estate, which had been built initially as a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII. The hunting pavilion was restored into a regal complex with ornate decor, meticulously maintained grounds, and imposing fountains.

The palace is now one of France’s most revered and popular tourist destinations. An estimated 5 million people visit the Palace of Versailles each year, while 8 to 10 million people stroll through its grounds. The Hall of Mirrors, one of the most elaborately decorated chambers, has 357 mirrors, including 17 mirror-covered arches reflecting the 17 arcaded windows facing the gardens. The 250-acre Versailles Palace Gardens continue to flourish as a wonderfully landscaped area with 400 statues and 1,400 fountains.

The French royal family continued to adorn the palace and reign from Versailles for many years. The French Revolution was the catalyst for the royal court’s eventual forced relocation. The most significant of all peace treaties that ended World War I was also signed at that palace.

Floating Village in Cambodia – Unique Way of Living on Water!

Cambodia is famous for its strange floating villages that have become tourist attractions because of its uniqueness. The villages are constructed by the residents who live next to Tonle Sap Lake and floating is a way to keep up with the river’s seasonal variations.

Why are they floating?

During the rainy season the water levels in Tonle Sap expands from 3000 square kilometers and 2m depth in the dry season, to a whole 10,000 square kilometers with 14 meter depth. Water flows into it from the great Trans boundary river Mekong during the rainy season. The rainy season ranges from June to October, whereas November to May is a dry season.

The villages are made of small houses and are clustered together giving it a unique charm. During the rainy season they go through dramatic transformation, where floating villages rise up and down with any change in the water levels. During the dry season however, people live close to the shores, where houses are built on stilts.

Life in a floating village:

The communities practically live on water. Most of the people are ethnic Vietnamese and from Cham communities. These people make a living from fishing on the lake. The lake has an abundant stream of fish with almost 300 different species as well as crocodiles, turtles and snakes, which makes it the main source of living. The lake feeds more than 3,000,000 people.

Land in Cambodia is priced too high for residents to buy. Many people are forced to live on the water mostly because they do not own land. Those who cannot afford it choose to live in these floating villages regardless of any risks involved.

The wondrous floating villages also feature floating shops, schools, churches, hospitals and other institutions that allow its people to live in total comfort above water. Many of these amenities are built on stilts. Most of the basic requirements have been set up keeping up with the needs of the people, including a mechanic shop and a crocodile farm! For tourists there are fancy restaurants and sundeck from where one can gaze into the expanse of water, marveling at the beauty of the strange way of living!

Visit to floating villages:

There are three main floating villages around Siem Reap namely; Kompong Khleang, Chong Kneas and Kompong Phluk. Being closest to Siem Reap, Chong Kneas is the most popular of them all. There are approximately 6000 people in Kompong Khleang, 5000 in Chong Kneas and 2800 in Kompong Phluk. The largest floating village is Kompong Khleang with the floating houses extending far and wide.

Chong Kneas is just 15 kms from Siem Reap, and can be easily reached by a boat in less than an hour. Boats are available at ticket booths all day long. It takes around 2 hours for a trip to the village. These boats pass through smaller villages on both sides of the river. One can spot small kids with snakes wrapped around their necks. They are soft drink vendors, who jump from one moving boat to the other without the slightest hesitation! You can’t resist buying a can of soft drink for $1, after seeing a daring stunt like that from a kid barely 7! Boats can also be hired for a day long trip to visit Kompong Phluk and Kompong Khleang.…

Encountering the Wildlife of Cambodia

Many who have visited Cambodia – tours, solo holidays, or otherwise – will fondly recall the diverse, unique and interesting array of wildlife they encounter. The country’s wildlife represents an important part of the animal kingdom, as many are recognized by the World Conservation Union as being endangered species. Due to such damaging occurrences as deforestation, the population of many of Cambodia’s most beloved animals – such as elephants, tigers, bears and buffaloes – is sadly dwindling.

Mammals

There are about 212 species of mammal which are native to Cambodia. Tours of the country are provided by many destination specialists, and will allow you to glimpse some of these magnificent beasts in their natural habitat. These mammals include the Asian Elephant [which is the largest living land animal in Asia], the endangered Hog Deer, the Asian Black Bear [described by writer Rudyard Kipling as ‘the most bizarre of the ursine species’], and the leopard, the smallest of the four big cats.

Fish

For those visiting Cambodia, tours may allow them the opportunities to see some species of freshwater fish – but chances are they won’t bump into all 850! Some of the most prominent include: the colourful Asian Arowana, or ‘Dragon Fish’, which inhabit slow-moving rivers; Channa, or ‘Snakehead Fish’, which are used frequently in Cambodian cuisine; and Barbus, a ray-finned fish also popular in cooking.

Birds

536 species of bird are native to Cambodia. Tours in the country are a great opportunity for avian enthusiasts to spot at least some of these many species. A few of the most common are: grebes, small to medium-sized birds which do not like land but excel in diving and swimming; pelicans, which have a distinctive beak and webbed feet with four toes; and storks, the long-necked, very large but mute birds which migrate.

Reptiles

In total, there are approximately 240 species of reptile in Cambodia. These cold-blooded vertebrates include: the Green Sea Turtle, also known as the Pacific Green Turtle, whose name comes from the green fat beneath its shell; the infamous King Cobra, the world’s longest and most venomous snake – a immensely dangerous species; and the Saltwater Crocodile, or Indo-Pacific Crocodile, which is the biggest of all of the world’s living reptiles.

Mollusks

There can be found, in the wilds of Cambodia, many types of non-marine mollusks. The Mekong Delta, in particular, is populated with a massive variety of freshwater gastropods. On land, there is also a considerable collection of land gastropods – including the Camaenidae, which are a family of air-breathing land snails.…

Marrakech, Morocco

Marrakech, or the “red city”, is a sprawling, beautiful burg that combines the old world aesthetic of the Middle East with the modern styling of today’s cities and towns. As the shining beacon in the North African country of Morocco, thousands visit Marrakech each week to lay eyes on the incredible market squares that have been the trademark of Marrakech from time immemorial. Within Morocco, only Casablanca and Rabat boast a population larger than Marrakech’s million-strong ranks but the city is second to none in the economic sector, with the largest traditional market in the country and the world famous Djemaa el Fna, one of the most popular market squares in the entire world! Each night the Djemaa el Fna becomes a lively, exciting feast for the senses with dancers, musicians, and other merrymakers. The fun continues into the day, with delicious delicacies and drinks being served alongside shops of all kinds.

Aside from markets, there really isn’t much to see or do in Marrakech proper. Outside the city, however, is a wealth of beautiful natural scenery and the vast majority of people who come to Marrakech are actually more interested in geological pursuits rather than festivals, though rare is the visitor who doesn’t at least check out the much famed entertainment. At any rate, Morocco is situated on the Atlantic side of Africa just south of Spain and as a result its landscape possesses the diverse beauty that much of the surrounding areas also possess. Since Marrakech is the only nearby city with an airport, the famed Menara International, it is often used as a home base for explorers who want to peruse the gorgeous Ourika River and its surrounding valleys or the amazing Middle Atlas Mountains. The Sahara desert is also nearby although only the most rugged and bold of explorers dare to take on such a behemoth.

Most people, when thinking of Marrakech, would assume that the place is an arid, hot, hellhole. After all, it’s in Africa near the largest desert in the world. The truth, though, is that Marrakech almost never gets higher than ninety-eight degrees even at the hottest time of year and the city is actually surprisingly temperate. Marrakech is conveniently located on the Atlantic at a latitude equal to Florida and Georgia in the United States, so it actually enjoys a relatively steady supply of temperate, enjoyable weather. In addition, the city is infinitely more suited to tourism than nearly every other country in Africa. An advanced motorway, for instance, connects Marrakech to Casablanca, making the trek from either of these remarkably beautiful cities a safe and comfortable experience. There are also several highly dependable bus and train services that complement the world-class Airport wonderfully. While it may be a particularly dangerous time to visit many of the countries in and around the Middle East, Marrakech remains a safe and popular tourist destination where people of all kinds come together to celebrate the beauty of the natural and manmade world together, whether by gazing at natural marvels or dancing in the cool night air with a snake charmer.…

Coastal Cities of Morocco

What do Tetouan, Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, El Jadida, Safi and Agadir have in common? They are all popular coastal cities to visit for a Morocco holiday. Vacationers flock to Morocco’s coastal playground for more than the cliche surf and turf, and exploration of these coastal wonders is easy with daily ferry transport through the Atlantic.

The question is: What differentiates Morocco’s coastal cities from those of other countries?

Firstly, Moroccan coastal cities are drenched in culture. The evidence of this is widespread. Tetouan has Spanish-Moorish architecture that still echoes the not-so-far imperialistic past. Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is a caricature of warring empires of the past. The history of Rabat encompasses the new neighborhoods, as well as the old Medina. Meanwhile, El Jadida is home to impressive Portuguese settlements and archeological ruins that remind visitors of its charming history.

Secondly, Moroccan coastal cities are eclectic and diverse. Demographically speaking, Moroccan cities have high levels of diversity. For example, in the northern cities, you’ll see more of a Spanish influence, whereas, you’ll see more of a French influence in the south. Morocco exhibits a melange of cultures on the coast that reflect this demographic diversity.

Finally, Moroccan coastal cities are hot spots for shopping. Shoppers and traders in the coastal Kasbahs are numerous. Products come into the ports fresh off the boats, and by products, I mostly mean seafood. Fish in the souks are hauled straight from the ports to restaurants and fish markets. The seafood is cheap, fresh and delicious. Safi, one of the main fishing ports in Morocco, is especially renowned for sardines. If fish isn’t your thing, you might prefer visiting the streets of coastal Casablanca, home of fashion and more modern shopping options. “Casa” is a contemporary runway full of international companies-in many ways, a shopper’s dream.

Besides the idiosyncratic characteristics of Moroccan cities, there’s also the obvious: They all overlook the sea. Morocco’s coastal cities boast bourgeois beach resorts, hidden beaches and a Mediterranean sea breeze. From the culture to the material, it’s easy to understand why Moroccan coastal cities are prime vacation locations.

Things to Do and See While Visiting Victoria

Citta Vittoria or Victoria is the capital city of the island of Gozo of the Maltese archipelago. Formerly called Rabat, the city obtained its name in 1887 as part of England’s Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee celebration.

Victoria, like the Rabat on the island of Malta, is situated beneath its protective Citadel. The city is believed to have been inhabited since the Bronze Age. Because of this belief, there are dozens of places of interest throughout the city that pertains to its rich and centuries-old history.

The crossroads of Triq Putirjal (Main Gate Street) has three elegant stone crosses that mark the limits of the old city walls when the Romans fortified the city. The Arabs believed to have occupied the higher ground of the island because it was easier to defend that they neglected the suburbs. And during the Middle Ages, both the Citadel and the suburb were thriving communities.

The citadels that dominate Victoria today date back to the 17th century and are from the original plans of city architect Francisco Laparelli. Laparelli also designed the city of Valletta. Walk around the entire Citadel to enjoy a full 360 view of the entire Gozo.

The Victoria Cathedral Square is a 17th century palace of the governors whose architecture follows that of Baroque or Rococo. On the Square’s right is the Chapter’s Hall, which was built in 1899. The Citadel Ramparts are a definite must-see for tourists because of its stunning view of the valleys and hills, and even Malta in the background.

The Folklore Museum in Victoria is one of the sites a tourist should see and visit while in Malta. The Museum, which is part of the Victoria Citadel, preserves the city’s traditional, country life. At the museum’s ground floor, exhibits on agriculture and stone masonry can be found. The museum is designed like a collection of apartment-like houses whose architecture has been preserved. It also has a collection of implements, such as plows, sickles, and grinding mills, and carpentry tools. The museum’s first floors display clothing and leisure activities and skills, as well as the implements that are necessary for those types of activities. The mezzanine floors, on the other hand, centers on trades and domestic skills like lace making.

Some other must-see sites while you’re on your vacation to Victoria are the Banca Guiratale, Basilica of St. George, Cathedral of Assumption, Citadel, Cathedral Museum, and Rundle Gardens.

There are five feasts in Victoria. The two main feasts are the Feast of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and the Feast of St. George. The Cathedral of the Assumption which is located at the center of the Citadel is dedicated for the Feast of the Assumption, while the Basilica of St. George located at the heart of Victoria is dedicated to St. George, the patron saint of the island of Gozo.…

First Visit impressions of Morocco

Having never visited Morocco or even Africa, I was very excited at the prospect in mid November 2005.

As soon as I boarded the Royal Air Maroc plane at London Heathrow on a late Saturday afternoon I was in another world. Announcements and signage in English, French and Arabic. Moroccan style cuisine and hospitality.

On arrival at the Aeroport Mohammed V after showing my passport several times I was soon on the motorway to Casablanca, which is the principal city of the country (but not the capital). It seemed rather like being in France – autoroute signage, A French chain owned DIY store, but not so once the taxi had entered Casablanca itself. Here there were people walking out in front of cars, cars just about avoiding other ones and I was\very pleased I was not actually driving, particularly with the lack of seat belts (or even one that worked!).

There is a great French influence in the country – it was ruled by the French and Spanish till 1956 and a lot of architecture new and old is very much of the French influence and even the Post boxes are the same shape and yellow colour as in France.

November is probably not the best time of year to visit the country, particularly if you don’t want to get wet. The rainy season is from October to November and April to May. On my second day I took the train from Casablanca to Rabat, the capital. There is a very efficient and inexpensive rail network that is mainly in the north of the country. Unfortunately just before arriving at the station in Rabat the heavens opened. They had done the previous day as I explored Casablanca, but the visit to Rabat only lasted just over an hour, because it wasn’t raining, there were flash floods and the roads suddenly took on the appearance of rivers. So much for exploring Rabat.

The day before in Casablanca was much more successful. I had spent a while reading a popular traveler’s guide book that helped me understand more about the culture and people. I was not too surprised with offers by people wanting to help, show and ask for money. Men holding hands as they walked along or kissing when they met (like a guard greeting one his passengers) was part of normal life, it happened because they were friends, not a sexual relationship as would be thought of in the west. I also knew that I had to be careful taking photos as many women are not happy about this.

The city has the Mosquee Hassan II, a spectacular site that is built with a glass floor on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The minaret is the tallest in the world — 200 hundred meters high. The roof also opens and shuts.…
