The Napolean’s tomb, but I doubt that there’s anything inside.

Cannons of those days

Tour Montparnasse

Its simple architecture, gigantic proportions and monolithic appearance have been often criticised for being out of place in Paris’s urban landscape and, as a result, two years after its completion, the construction of skyscrapers in the city centre was banned.

It is sometimes said, only half-jokingly, that the view from the top is the most beautiful in Paris, since it is the only place from which one cannot see the tower.^[2] Interestingly, this is the same claim made by Guy de Maupassant who loathed the Eiffel Tower and ate lunch there daily.

We didn’t get up to the top of the tower because it seems that the ticket’s price is the double of Eiffel’s, expensive….

Normandy

The Normandy beach, full of world war history which you can’t imagine that it was when you are there.

The cemetery of the American soldiers

The beach at St Malo!! I love it the most!!!

Oh yea! My name on the beach! (I wrote it la…)

A bunch of crazy Hong Kies trying to do jump shot on the sea… haha

Disneyland Paris

I guess there might be a few of you who didn’t realise that there’s actually a Disneyland in Paris?

I’ve been there before when I was in Paris, but I just went to the Disneyland Village which the admission fee wasn’t required instead of the Disneyland Themepark. However, there are still a lot of souvenir shops and stuffs to see in Disneyland Village.

not many pictures were taken as I was pretty tired and lazy….haha

Blois town

A nice and peaceful town, it was a nice weather too!

I can still remember there were a few cars sounding off their horns throughout their way and then I realised that there was a wedding going on, haha! Never thought that they do have common culture with us, Malaysian chinese.

Château de Chenonceau

Before we reach the palace…

This was the restaurant that we had our lunch at…

And now, the palace! but part of it was under renovation, too bad…

Lavenders…

The guard’s house I guess

The palace without the renovation site

Helo, readers! (if there are still some…) Sorry for not making updates here for so long. The second half of the trip was quite tiring and I couldn’t find a single strength to blog, or rather just lazy, haha… Anyway, I’m now back at my home, Kuala Lumpur! woohoo! Finally can get some good rest and taste the foods here, especially home cooked food! So, now I’ll try my best to do the rest of the updates but I can’t guarantee it, as you know, I’m at home! I should be slacking here!
