Paris
is famous for the fact that it has at its disposition the most visited
European spas resorts. But it would not be fair if talking about SPA
salons of Paris, I omit my impressions of other attractions. So I decided
to compile its list of the secrets of Paris. Be sure you will be healthy after seeing them. So, here are they.
1. The world's first ice cream shop was opened in 1672 in Paris Sicilian
Francesco Procopio de Cortell. Diderot and Voltaire were the visitors of
this cafe.
2. The Eiffel Tower was built for the Universal Exhibition in 1889 and
served as her entrance arch. Under the plan it should have been dismantled
after 20 years. When the time came the authorities decided to leave the
tower as it was to attract tourists and for the radio needs. The height
of the Eiffel Tower - 324 meters, the surface area - 200 000 square meters.
To see it with your own eyes you can find travel promotional codes and deals here and
purchase the cheap ticket to reach Paris as soon as possible.
3. In Paris, the daily "Salt and Pepper" is released, which consists
of only two pages. It is printed on a special waterproof paper, as it is
intended for those French who did not try to get rid of the habit of reading
at the table during the meal. This newspaper informs readers about the
most important events in Europe and the country as well as telling the
latest jokes and rumors. Be sure laughing is also healthy for your wellbeing.
4. The most amazing Parisian toilets are on the left side of the Madeleine,
near the flower market in the basement. Their arrangement began in 1905.
The doors of the toilets are decorated with floral stained-glass windows,
toilet bowls in them - porcelain, the same as for each individual wash
cubicles.
5. In Paris there is a special law (he was adopted by the 19th century),
which forbids women to wear Parisians pants. Thousands of Parisians violate
this law every day, including women police officers. who has to wear pants
as an official clothing.
6. Baton armpit with the passers-by is an old tradition and one of the
symbols of France. Baguettes (baguette), long, soft bread made of flour,
yeast, salt and water, are the invention of the French. In France the general
extraordinary shops sell bread and various pastry sweets.
7. The fountain in front of the Eiffel Tower might well be deemed as an
unofficial place for swimming and the rest on the grass under the sun in
hot weather. This is a place for pleasant meetings and not less pleasant
new acquaintances, people are friendly and open to communication. Some
joke that the fountain can replace SPA salon!
8. In the Paris subway passengers themselves have to open and close the
door in wagons. In addition, in the Paris metro (it is very shallow) does
not announce the stations, and have no employees subway turnstiles - this
now self-service system.
9. Translucent plastic bins in Paris is the norm, although they are difficult
to name adorn the city. Replace this unsightly structure was determined
by several explosions, organized by terrorists in 1995, when explosive
devices were thrown into dustbins.
