    巴黎迪士尼非常值得一去!如果是一家大細來的話更加合適,共有分五個園區,無論是三四歲小朋友或是大朋友都能夠玩上一整天!建議adventure land 留在晚上遊玩,因為其他比較近看煙花的位置,以及沒什麼人排隊。最好玩的space mountain 竟然可以不用排隊!space tour 也可以連續玩了三次!然後9:00(冬天)走出去看煙花,這個千萬不能錯過!

    It's the Louvre, of course it was incredible! This ticket price is accurate, and I would not go through the effort, as a person from the USA, to buy the tickets through the Louvre's website. I bought them through Trip, and they worked just fine! Just make sure to get to the museum a little before your timeslot, the line to get in is intense!

    I bought my Versailles Palace tickets on Ctrip 🎫. I booked for 9:30 AM and arrived at the main gate on time. Following the signs (A/separate queue), I queued at 9:30 AM. Including queuing and security, it was a smooth 10 minutes to get into the palace! 👍 I got a Chinese audio guide for €5 (remember to bring your airplane headphones). I walked in one direction with the flow of people for about 1.5 hours (you can't go against the flow). Then I went to the other side to find the princess and prince's sleeping quarters, which were less crowded (I still can't find the prince's quarters). The exit is next to the restrooms down the stairs (allow time for queuing, especially for women). Once you leave the palace, you can't go back. You can visit the gardens, but due to rain and snow, the roads were a bit muddy, so I couldn't go. (A little regret, but I'll visit again sometime).

    Paris landmark, I have to say, the overall experience is average, the queue time is long, and the top floor is not as spectacular as expected? On the contrary, the view from the second floor platform is more satisfying.

    🌟 Paris stroll: a city romantic code, how many people do not know Paris, this name knows this building, in the textbooks to read the ugly bell ringer has increased the mystery of the biological Notre Dame, Paris must punch in the red location. The interior has not yet opened, and the exterior is still under maintenance. 🗼 Notre Dame Cathedral is under maintenance, and the people who come to punch in are still endless, just to witness the truth. It reopened in September. You can make an online reservation for the Seine River at night like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The beauty is unspeakable.

    I recently visited the Musée d'Orsay and I’m still not entirely sure how to describe the experience — but in the best possible way. There was this constant feeling of being impressed, even though I couldn’t always pinpoint exactly why. It’s one of those places where you walk in and something shifts, like your brain quietly realizes you’re somewhere special, even if you’re not immediately sure what’s doing it. From the start, I couldn’t tell if it was the architecture, the light, or just the atmosphere, but everything felt… meaningful. Not in a heavy or dramatic way, more like a gentle reminder that there’s beauty in the world — even if you can’t articulate it perfectly. I had these little moments of awe that would sneak up on me, sometimes when I wasn’t expecting anything — like I’d look up or turn a corner and suddenly just feel… moved? Or at least pleasantly overwhelmed. The art — which I won’t pretend to analyze like an expert — somehow managed to feel both iconic and personal.

    I arrived at 9pm and discovered the opening hours were only 11pm. There was a line to buy tickets on site. I decided to book through trip.com to avoid the long wait. The night view was beautiful, and the Eiffel Tower had a light show at 10pm.
