Monday, April 5, 2010

Paris is mentioned as the most romantic city in the world. You can debate that! But up to know, millions of people have set their foot in this Napoleon’s city. Well, here is my 'most' itinerary when visited Paris with my beloved wife and son:



It's all about Mona Lisa's Smile

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Tourist attraction that became the target of every Paris’ traveler than the Eiffel tower is the Musée du Louvre. Including me and my family. We had a chance to explore this museum on October 2009. This building is the largest national museums in France, and is also the most visited museums in the world. We had to buy a ticket for 9 Euro to explore the contents of the museum and its valid for 3 hours. The museum is divided into three wings: Denon, Sully and Richelieu. Therefore, I am wondering that three hours of actual time given was not possible to explore the entire contents of this museum.
The museum is located in the former Palace of the Louvre was built in the late 12th century by King Philip II. The museum officially opened on August 10, 1793 with a display of new paintings as many as 537. It is said that this museum was once called the Musee Napoleon, when in the leadership of Napoleon. Currently, nearly 35,000 materials exhibited. It's incredible!

Musée du Louvre - Paris

Sunday, November 29, 2009

Paris 4 - We visited Musée du Louvre. We bought daily ticket called Mobilis Ticket Zone 1-4 costs 9.60 EURO per person, in the locket. Then we used Metro M4 direction Porte de Clignancourt, stop at the Chatelet Station then take M1 direction La Defense and stop at Palais Royal Musee du Louvre station. The second place that became our target in Paris is the . This building is the largest national museums in France, and is also the most visited museums in the world. Hmmm .. How lucky!

To explore the contents of this "pyramid museum", we had to buy a ticket for 9 EUR, and is valid for 3 hours. The museum is divided into three wings, Denon, Sully and Richelieu. So really not enough time with just three hours hehehe ..But, we have no worries, we already have a note what to visit.

The most impressive is the museum which located in the former Palace of the Louvre was built in the late 12th century by King Philip II. The museum officially opened on August 10, 1793 with a display around 537 paintings. Today, nearly 35.000 display materials. Incredible!

Of the many objects on display, there is one of the most attractive to visitors and have to wait long to be the most forward position. Yes, the famous painting "Mona Lisa". The painting is in the Denon Wing 1st Floor Room 6.


Although many people crammed, fortunately we were wrong entry point and not too taken by officers because we brought the stroller. So, please not jealous to see my picture below...

the Eiffel Tower - Paris

Paris 3 - Ada kebahagiaan tersendiri bisa sampai di menara Eiffel (Tour Eiffel) yang dibangun pada abad ke-19, pada liburan Oktober 2009 kemarin. Menara yang terbuat dari besi baja berlokasi di Champ de Mars – Paris. Kenapa sangat bahagia? Pertama liburan bersama keluarga tercinta, dan banyak sekali orang menganalogikan Eiffel dan Paris sebagai romantic place. Kedua, merupakan salah satu keajaiban dunia. Dan Ketiga, merupakan list teratas dari objek wisata yang harus dikunjungi dari Trip Advisor.


Arc de Triomphe

Saturday, November 28, 2009

Paris 2 - Setelah dari basilica, kita langsung menuju the Arc de Triomphe.  Monumen ini berada di pusat the Place Charles de Gaulle, sebelah barat dari kawasan Champs-Élysées. Monumen ini dipersembahkan bagi mereka yang sudah berjuang untuk Perancis, khususnya selama Perang Napoleon. Di dalam dan diatas dari monumen ini terdapat daftar jenderal dan orang-orang yg telah ikut berjuang. Sayangnya, kita gak ikutan naik ke atas monument.



Monumen yang setinggi 49.5 m ini di disain oleh Jean Chalgrin pada tahun 1806. Sayangnya gak bisa lama-lama disini, kita hanya menikmatinya beberapa saat sambil melihat-lihat atraksi jalanan yang dilakukan oleh sekelompok anak muda, soalnya Eiffel dah menunggu.

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur

Paris 1 - Hari pertama langsung menuju ke Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Basilika ini merupakan salah satu landmark kota Paris, yang didedikasikan untuk Jesus, yang selesai di bangun tahun 1914. Basilique du Sacré-Cœur terletak di puncak bukit Montmartre, titik tertinggi di kota Paris. Disini ada fasilitas lift, jadi pengunjung tidak perlu menyusuri dan menapaki tangga bukit setinggi 130 meter. Tapi hari itu kita hanya menikmati basilica ini dari bawah. Untuk menikmati keindahan ini tidak dipungut bayaran alias gratis.

Disepanjang jalan menuju basilica ini dipinggirannya banyak jualan souvenir dan berbagai baju dan pernak pernik Paris dan pastinya harganya terjangkau. Terus terang ini mengingatkan jalanan yang biasa kita temui di daerah stasiun dekat Bogor yang banyak menjual pernak pernik dengan harga yang murah. Tapi sebaiknya untuk membeli gantungan kunci, mending belinya di daerah Concorde yang dekat menara Eiffel, disitu jualnya murah banget, dengan 1 EUR bisa dapat 5 gantungan kuncil Eiffel, kalo di Basilica Cuma dapat 3. Murah kan!!! Karena ini tempat pertama yang kita kunjungi di Paris, jadi kebanyakan kita hanya surveu harga disini. Nah setelah sarapan dan berfoto-foto disini, kita langsung menuju Arc de Triomphe…

Persiapan liburan keluarga di Eropa

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

2995920258_d1566318ef_oAlhamdulilah setelah urusan tetek bengek undangan dan visa selesai, sekarang saatnya mengatur jadwal perjalanan. Mulai dari transport, hotel dan tentunya objek wisata yang mau dikunjungi di setiap kota. Tahun ini kita mengunjungi kota Cologne (Germany), Paris (Perancis), Amsterdam (Netherlands), dan Berlin (Germany). Kalo Bremen dan sekitarnya gak perlu dihitung hehehe.. Liburan kali ini sangat special karena akan bersama anak dan istri. Makanya persiapannya juga harus matang dan harus senyaman mungkin. Dengan bermodal tanya sana dan sini, serta pengalaman teman-teman (khususnya Desti, yg kebetulan banget karna dia juga berlibur bersama keluarga di Paris, dan bikin Note yang super duper lengkap), akhirnya jadi juga jadwal perjalanan versi saya hehehe..
