Paris


Mont Saint-Michel

    Mont Saint-Michel is a famous island which many tourists visit each year.  I thought it was a kind of castle, but it is an abbey.  Mont Saint-Michel and its bay were named as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.  It is lit up after sunset.  It was very beautiful.

Eiffel Tower

    Eiffel Tower  is  a  300 metre-high  metal  tower  erected  in  Paris  for  the  World  Exhibition of 1889.  It  is  a  symbol  of  Paris.  There were many people who took  souvenir photos in front of this tower.

 
Notre Dame de Paris

   The cathedral is centrally located on the Ile de la Cité.  It is one of the most famous gothic cathedrals in the world.  When I went there, the structure was under construction.
 
The  Louvre  Museum

    The  Louvre  is  a world-famous  museum  and  art  gallery  of  France.   I  took  photos  with  many  art  works  like  the  Mona  Lisa,  Venus de  Milo  and  Nike.   I  was  very  excited  to  see  famous  works  which  I  had seen  in textbooks.

 The Church of Saint Joan of Arc

    It is located in the city center of Rouen, northern France.  The cross shows that this is where Joan of Arc  was burned in 1431.  There are markets near this church, and I bought a goat  cheese  and  salami.

Chartres Cathedral


    Chartres Cathedral is a French Gothic architecture.  It is located in the medieval town of Chartres.  The stained glass windows were so beautiful it drew sighs of admiration.
