Your red bus ticket
fee exhausted, from your hotel, by bus or metro, you will return to
la place de la Bastille.
If
you come by the subway ligne n°1, you can admire frescos
relating
the glorious epic of the Parisian people getting hold of the monarchy.
Built
in 1833, in the memory of the 1830 and 1840 revolutionists, the column
also called colonne
de Juillet shelters a crypt in the basement where
the bodies of those who perished in the two revolutions lie.
Having
absolutely nothing to do with the Garnier opera’s grace or
achitecture, the Bastille Opera is a modern and functional building.
A
bit more unusual, you’ll have a rendez-vous at the port de
Plaisance de Paris (Paris 's
harbour)...That’s right, it exists...with Canauxrama
to discover an unusual aspect of the old Paris, the one of Canals.
During
this 2 hour and a half romantic cruise, you will pass the ponts
tournants (turning bridge), the famous pont levant de
Crimée and 4 double locks,(video of the
crossing of a lock 1Mo) who’ll lift the boat
24meters. Music and commentaries will plunge you in Paris’
past and present.
Your cruise will end
when the Saint Martin and Saint Denis canals meet and the Ourcq canal
at parc
de la Villette where you are allowed to spend a
half day of discovery:Cité des Sciences(science city)
Cité de la Musique(music city)
Jardins à thèmes(gardens with themes)
La Géode.(cinema with a big spherical
screen)
For
this third day, you might prefer to visit the Versailles Castle. Even
if the mirror of gallery’s restoration isn’t
finished yet,
it is already possible to admire the quality of the Vinci
interprise’s work.To get to Versailles, we advise you to take
the
RER line C who will drop you off at least a hundred meters from the
Castle.The waiting lines are sometimes long but the rythm of the
entries might happily surprise you, so you musn’t get
discouraged!
