From the previous episode, after we bid farewell to the beautiful garden, we pondered for a while on where to escape the rain.

We discovered that there was still one more place we should visit, the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris (Cathe'drale Notre-Dame de Paris).

Without further ado, I immediately searched for a Metro map to see how we could get there.

When it comes to sightseeing, there's no time to waste!

I really like this kind of street art.

From Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre station, we need to take Metro Line 1 to Chatelet station.

Then change to Line 4 and get off at Cite' station, which is the closest station to Notre-Dame.

When you exit the station, you will need to walk a little further to reach the cathedral, passing the Palace of Justice

and Saint Chapelle church. We did not stop at these two places because of time constraints and the latter has an entrance fee.

We have arrived at our destination.

Palace of Justice

If you've seen the movie The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, you'll probably recognize this place.

In French, it's called "Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris," a Gothic cathedral.

Located on the Ile de la Cite, the eastern part of Paris, the island is surrounded by the Seine River.

The word Notre Dame means "Our Lady," which is what Catholics call the Virgin Mary.

Today, the cathedral is still used as a church by the Roman Catholic Church and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris.

It is considered the most beautiful church in the French Gothic style.

Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris

Notre-Dame Cathedral has three main portals: the Portal of the Virgin,

the Portal of the Last Judgement, and the Portal of Saint Anne.

Above each portal is a tympanum with sculptures depicting the story of the portal.

Above the three portals are statues of 28 ancient Jewish kings, which were beheaded

and destroyed during the French Revolution. Looking higher, you will see the central circular stained glass window, or Rose Window,

made of stained glass from the 13th century, depicting the Virgin Mary surrounded by figures from The Old Testament.

Rose Window

The magnificence of the cathedral is not only on the outside, which made me wander around taking pictures endlessly.

When I entered, I was even more fascinated by the architecture inside, every corner and angle, I couldn't bear to leave.

Although I am not a Christian, every time I visit churches or cathedrals like these, I often feel immersed in the atmosphere inside, forgetting the time every time.

It's probably like when foreigners come to Thailand and are fascinated by Wat Phra Kaew or the Prang of Wat Arun.

These different cultures, beliefs, and faiths are truly worth learning and studying.

Faith is a great power that has made many things possible.

After being immersed in the atmosphere inside, the members outside had to wait for a long time.

Nulek informed the members that there was another mission that they had to accomplish, not far from here.

If they didn't succeed, it would be as if their tour had never really reached France.

While the mission was still pending, the eldest brother invited everyone to take a walk along the riverside path.

Because they saw a flash of pink, they felt they had to go.

The riverside path in question is Promenade Maurice Careme, which runs alongside the cathedral and the Seine River.

What caught the eldest brother's eye were the cherry blossoms. This is considered one of the most beautiful spots in Paris to see cherry blossoms in bloom.

In addition to the Champ de Mars area.

Today, they are in full bloom, making the atmosphere look incredibly sweet.

The contemplative mood of a monk who had just left the cathedral a moment ago vanished without a trace.

Coincidentally, a young couple came to take their pre-wedding photos, making the tourists in the area even more excited.

However, we did not forget the unfinished mission. We followed the map in our hands and searched again.

And then, one of our tour members, Brother Ao, found it. That is Point Zero, some people call it Kilometre zero.

Or Kilometer 0, or sometimes it is called "the navel of Paris".

It is the center point used as the starting point for measuring the distance from Paris to various cities in France.

This point is on the ground in front of the main door of the Norte-Dame Cathedral.

Brother Big and Little Mouse brought three other tour members to this point to tell them that

We have brought you to Paris safely. And this is probably a sign that

We will have to say goodbye to Paris tomorrow without a doubt. But the night is still long.

And "Paris" is still waiting for us to discover. Let's follow along to see where else we can go with the time we have left.

This tour is a head-to-toe tour, we will travel until the sun sets.

After successfully completing their mission, Big Brother and Little Mouse continued to wander around Notre Dame Cathedral.

This was because the tour leader had not yet decided where to go next. This is not a joke, with so many places to visit, it would be a shame to miss out on any of them.

It would be a shame to miss out on this, and a shame to miss out on that. So why not just wander around without a plan?

If you come on a tour with us, don't expect to have the same experience as other tours. We will have random, unplanned stops along the way.

If you come on a tour with us, don't expect to see everything. We are a "head over heels" tour group.

Let's try walking along the street and pretending to be Parisians.

After visiting the cathedral, we went to see the cherry blossoms in bloom in the heart of Paris.

Now it's time to wander aimlessly down Rue d'Arcole.

Little Mouse was struck by a restaurant with a sweet theme that made her, a single person, want to kill herself in front of the restaurant.

If you come to Paris with your significant other, you should stop by here to create a romantic atmosphere. The name of the restaurant is "Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole".

It's not far from the cathedral, so you can save the picture for reference. As for the price... well, that's up to you.

After daydreaming about the sweetness for a while, Little Mouse had to snap out of her trance and return to the real world before her.

This road will lead us to the Seine River. If you look across, you will see a large building, which is the Hotel de Ville.

Please don't misunderstand, it's not a hotel or anything, but it's the Town Hall of Paris, as they call it.

When you walk to the edge of the water and look to the right, you will see the Louis-Philippe Bridge (Pont Louis-Phillipe).

And if you look to the left, you will see the Notre-Dame Bridge (Pont Norte-Dame).

The Seine River is calm and serene, inviting you to stand and ponder anyone who comes to mind.

Or maybe it's because I'm still feeling emotional from the sweet cherry blossoms all the way to the restaurant just now, I don't know. Sigh....

The mounted police look really cool.

The tour guide, fearing the tourists might get too scattered, decided to take them on a tour of the market instead.

Nearby, there's a flower market popular with Parisians, known as the Marche'-aux-fleurs in French. However, it's more commonly known as the Flower Market Queen Elizabeth II in English. This market is open every day, but on Sundays, birds are also sold alongside flowers and plants.

Each shop is located under a steel frame, selling a variety of goods, including flowers, plants, and garden decorations that are sure to tempt any homeowner. The flowers on sale are diverse, with both foliage and flowering plants, although the focus seems to be on flowering plants. Dried lavender from Provence is also available, as are various lavender-based souvenirs.

Even if you don't have the chance to visit the region this season, some shops are happy for you to take pictures. Others have signs indicating that you must first greet the owner and say "Hi" before taking a picture. It seems they've implemented this policy because many people take pictures but don't buy anything.

Unfortunately, this strategy doesn't work on us, as we decided to take pictures at another shop that allows us to take as many pictures as we want.

It seems that the tour program for today is a bit too sweet and heartwarming.

Although each of the tourists is either single or has been separated from their partner, it fits well with the gloomy atmosphere and drizzling rain.

This adds to the coldness, making us all tighten our jackets immediately.

Don't expect any Italian guys around here to help you tighten your jackets.

The tour leader felt that the weather and atmosphere might lead the tourists too far astray.

So, he decided to take us to the last must-see attraction before we say goodbye to Paris.

From the flower market, the tour leader and I decided to take the three tourists to close our trip.

Touring the French capital, Paris, at the "Arc de Triomphe" (Arc de triomphe de l'Étoile), pronounced Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.

To declare our victory in successfully completing our mission to Paris.

And safe from the notorious pickpockets for the past two days. Yay....

We took the Metro from Cite' station, taking line 4 to Chatelet station.

Then we took line 1 to Charles de Gaulle-E'toile station. When we emerged, the large structure appeared before us.

The Arc de Triomphe, a prominent monument located in the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as "Place de l'Étoile," stands at the western end of the Champ-Elyse'es.

This triumphal arch was constructed to honor the valiant soldiers who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. It also serves as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The Arc de Triomphe is part of the "L'Axe historique," a straight road that extends from the Louvre Museum gardens to the outskirts of Paris. Designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, it features a sculpture of a young French nude battling a bearded and armored German soldier, symbolizing a call to arms and a memorial to World War I.

The Arc de Triomphe stands 49.5 meters (165 feet) tall, 45 meters (148 feet) wide, and 22 meters (72 feet) deep, making it the second-largest triumphal arch in the world.

The world's largest triumphal arch is located in Pyongyang, North Korea. Known as the "Arch of Triumph," it was constructed using 25,500 blocks of white granite and stands 60 meters tall and 52.5 meters wide. Its archway is 27 meters high and 18.6 meters wide, allowing for two lanes of traffic to pass comfortably.

The Arc de Triomphe can be accessed from the Champs-Elyse'es without having to cross the busy traffic. There is an underpass that allows pedestrians to walk to the monument.

Upon entering the tunnel, you will find a door leading upwards. Choose the correct path.

One path leads to the courtyard, while the other leads to the museum above. You can choose to climb the 284-step spiral staircase,

take the elevator and walk up another 46 steps, or even go outside for a high-angle view.

However, there is a fee for this, and our tour does not typically include it. We will simply admire the beauty from the ground level in the central courtyard and look up.

The Arc de Triomphe is built in a style known as Neo-Classicism, which is adapted from ancient Roman architecture.

Many of the leading French sculptors of the time participated in the carving of the Arc de Triomphe.

The most important carvings are not long patterns on the walls, but rather freestanding sculptures that are symbols of victory attached to the Arc de Triomphe itself.

The four most important groups of sculptures at the base of the Arc de Triomphe are:

1. Le Départ de 1792 (known as La Marseillaise) by François Rude

2. Le Triomphe de 1810 by Jean-Pierre Cortot

3. La Résistance de 1814 by Antoine Etex

4. La Paix de 1815 by Antoine Etex

Is there anything else I can help you with?

The Arc de Triomphe also features six low-relief stone carvings located above the four doors, depicting scenes from the French Revolution and Empire.

These carvings are situated above four freestanding sculptures.

Additionally, the Arc de Triomphe is adorned with numerous other details related to various wars.

The names of battles and soldiers who participated in them are inscribed throughout the monument.

As a result, the Arc de Triomphe serves as an exceptional historical resource worthy of exploration.

Our Paris tour has come to an end at the Arc de Triomphe, but wait!

There's one more thing we can't miss while we're here: taking a picture and checking in with the Champ-Elyse'es sign.

To let the online world know that we're standing on the street that has been dubbed the most beautiful street in the world.

With a rental rate of up to 1.5 million US dollars per year for 1000 square feet (93 square meters).

Or the highest in Europe, OMG!!!

Before the last light of the day faded, the tour leader allowed the tourists to shop freely for the first time.

At the French sporting goods store Decathlon, which had recently opened a branch in our country on Wagram Street.

This store offers a wide range of affordable sports equipment for land, water, and camping.

With the current popularity of cycling, tourists can fully equip themselves with cycling gear.

But to my disappointment, the small backpack of this brand that I had brought from Thailand was even cheaper. What's going on?

It has been successfully launched in our country.

The little backpack that Noolek carried from Thailand, just like this.

Stay tuned for tomorrow, we will continue our journey from Paris. There are still more fun stories on the way.
