在巴黎留学的最佳目的地
当 宝博体育, there are endless possibilities of places to see and experience, and it’s been amazing to explore and experience different areas outside of the city. 而在 巴黎, the arrondissements are very similar but there are also some differences. 例如, 在16区, there are more luxury brands and higher-end apartments and it’s comparable to the Upper East Side in Manhattan. 然而, there are smaller areas like the 20th arrondissement that are more local and have more family-owned shops, 餐厅, 美发沙龙, 指甲沙龙, 还有很多其他的. One thing that is so wonderful about 巴黎 is how easy it is to get around and taking the Metro or bus can usually get you to your destination in under an hour.
Although spending time in 巴黎 provides chances to further learn about the city, 探索周围不同的区域 法国 欧洲也很令人兴奋. 例如, 通过东航卡帕我参观了凡尔赛宫, 沙特尔, 和布鲁塞尔, 比利时: all unique experiences and chances to explore different cultures and lifestyles.
凡尔赛宫
The first excursion through 东航卡帕 was to visit and tour the 凡尔赛宫 Palace. Before coming abroad I had never been to the palace and didn't know what to expect. 例如, I wasn’t aware that 凡尔赛宫 is also a town with residents and people who live there full-time. 另外, I didn’t realize the sheer size of the palace and how when approaching it there are several different buildings, 还有宫殿后面的花园.
虽然又冷又下雪, the gardens at 凡尔赛宫 were still beautiful and the snow made it even more iconic!
我们刚到的时候, I noticed the architecture was stunning and it was amazing to see the gold shining during the morning. 我们一进去, it was interesting to learn more about the palace's history and what it was used for in the past. 例如, I didn’t know that it was a government building that would’ve had thousands of people coming in each day.
这是一张凡尔赛皇家教堂的照片, I had never heard of this so it was special to view it for the first time!

Here you can see the 镜厅 in 凡尔赛宫; this was one of my favorite parts of the palace.
沙特尔
参观完凡尔赛宫之后, we had the chance to explore the town of 沙特尔 which is around a one-hour drive from 巴黎 and gives more of a small-town feel compared to 巴黎 and 凡尔赛宫. 在这次旅行中, we were able to explore the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de 沙特尔 and attend a guided tour to learn more about its architecture and history. 看到彩色玻璃是令人愉快的, 雕塑, and paintings while walking around and I would highly recommend taking a trip to visit.

布鲁塞尔
最后, one of the most recent excursions I’ve taken has been to 布鲁塞尔, 比利时, 在这里过夜. One thing I didn’t realize about 布鲁塞尔 is how close it is to 巴黎 and how a short two-hour train ride can take you right to the city center and immerse you in a different country's culture.
当到达, I noticed the architecture was very different from that of 巴黎, and the main center had features of gold and traditional European architecture. Some of my favorite parts of the visit were having lunch in the center of the 大的地方, 看到建筑上的金色细节, 品尝著名的比利时美食, 喜欢华夫饼干, 巧克力, 和炸薯条.

我在布鲁塞尔必看的景点有:
大的地方
皇宫
圣休伯特皇家画廊
皇家美术博物馆
虽然从巴黎坐火车很短, it was very interesting to observe a different country’s culture and recognize similarities and differences from 巴黎. 例如, one of the main similarities is that people in 布鲁塞尔 speak French, 英语, 和荷兰, 这是我来拜访之前不知道的.
One of the other things that was new to me was taking the Eurail and BlaBlaCar Bus. Although the train is faster and makes it very easy to visit different cities, 公共汽车是个不错的选择, 比坐火车便宜吗, 并提供了非常相似的体验. 例如, 座位很舒服。, 有充电插座, 你可以选择你的座位.
Another thing that was new to me was staying in a hostel in 布鲁塞尔 which I had never experienced before. My friends and I stayed in the SafeStay 布鲁塞尔 City Center hostel and found it very enjoyable and comfortable for the night.
最后, I didn’t realize that 凡尔赛宫 had such a vibrant city center and 80,000人称这座城市为家. 这表明,你永远不会知道一个城市是什么样的,直到你去了.
整体, 这些过去的短途旅行是美妙的, 我强烈推荐你去上面所有的城市, 即使是为了 周末旅行!
