Paris in the springtime was, is and always will be something rather special. Why not experience it for yourself with this excellent break for four days? This attractive city has something to offer everyone and with prices at just £129, it’s great value too.
Your break begins with executive coach(长途公共汽车)transfer(中转)from regional pickup points and travel to Paris is via cross-channel ferry(渡船), arriving at your hotel in the evening. The hotel is an excellent quality one with private facilities in all rooms: satellite TV, radio, telephone and alarm clock. It has a bar and restaurant and is situated about two miles south of Notre Dame enabling you to explore Paris with ease.
The following day, after continental breakfast(included), the coach takes you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, during which you will see the Eiffel Tower(艾菲尔铁塔), Champs Elysees(爱丽舍宫), L’Arc de Triomphe(凯旋门), the Louvre(罗浮宫), and in fact almost every famous landmark you will ever have heard of. You then leave Paris and take a short drive to the magnificent Palace of Versailles(凡尔赛宫), the home of Louis XIV. The tour ends mid-afternoon back in Paris where you will have the remainder of the day at your leisure. In the evening there is a “Paris By Night” tour showing you the beautiful buildings with bright lights.
Day three takes you to Montmartre(蒙马特尔高地), perhaps the most picturesque of Paris and home of the Saere Coeur(圣心堂) and the Moulin Rouge(红磨坊). In the afternoon voyage on the River Swine, wander around the picturesque gardens or look through among the antique shops. In the evening you will have the opportunity to visit the best nightclub in the city, the splendid Paradis Latin. On the final day it’s back to the U.K. via channel ferry.

The train was already half an hour late. I had to arrive in Vienna at 7:15 in time to catch the 7:20 train to Paris, but there was no hope of that now. I told my problem to the conductor (列车员). He advised me to get off two stops before Vienna Station and take a taxi. When the time came, he even helped with my bag. He wished me good luck as I jumped off. A few minutes later I was racing towards the center of the city in a taxi. It was almost 7:25 when we stopped outside the station. I paid the driver quickly, picked up my bag and hurried inside. “Paris train?” was all I had time to say to the official I saw. You can see how I felt when he pointed to a train that was just moving out of the station.
