Spent my day without school on a quick trip to Montpellier. We went there via bus for just 11 euros. We visited the tourist spots around the city, but was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. I thought there would be more to see, or perhaps was it because it was inter? Overall, still had fun and ate amazing food with great company. Does anyone have some recommendations on things to do in Montpellier?#southoffrance #Montpellier

Montpellier, such an amazing place!! It's an old fashion center town, totally worth to visit. The cathedral is just unbelievable. Worth to visit during autumn because summer gets absolutely hot in there. #hallotrip

I can't forget the paella I had at the morning market in Montpellier, France. There were several stalls set up at Place Nombre d'Or, and the paella there was really delicious...! It was made on a hot plate on the spot, and an old man piled it into a Tupperware-like container for me. The saltiness was just right, the seafood was plentiful, and there was no fishy smell, just the flavor came out. It was really, really delicious!! There was no disposable cutlery at all, so I bought straws at the supermarket and used them as chopsticks, but next time I go I think I'll bring chopsticks, spoons, and other disposable cutlery with me. The spice shop at Nice's morning market was also great! It was fun to see all kinds of things I'd never seen before, like blue salt. Just walking around is fun, so be sure to check it out!

1. Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel): A 330m iron tower designed by Gustave Eiffel to commemorate the 1889 World's Fair. A landmark of Paris, you can enjoy the panorama of the Seine and the city from the observation deck on the third floor (276m). The nightly sparkling light show is a must. A masterpiece of structural engineering and a symbol of romance. 2. Montmartre Hill (Montmartre): A center for 19th-century artists. View the entire Paris from the Byzantine-style dome of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. The alleys where Picasso and Modigliani strolled and the portrait street of Place du Tertre retain a bohemian atmosphere. 3. Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre): The world's largest art museum, boasting a collection of over 35,000 works. Full of masterpieces such as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. I.M. Pei's glass pyramid entrance is a fusion of modern and classic. 4. Arc de Triomphe: Built in 1806 by order of Napoleon to commemorate his military victories. A 50m-tall neoclassical building, with elaborate reliefs and a spectacular view of the Champs-Élysées from the observation deck. The interior exhibits illuminate the Napoleonic era. 5. Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris: The epitome of 12th-century Gothic architecture. The flying buttresses, gorgeous rose windows, and stained glass inside showcase medieval faith and art. Although it is currently being restored after a fire in 2019, its exterior and historical significance along the Seine River are still overwhelming. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, Montmartre, and Arc de Triomphe in Paris are each jewels with different eras and stories. The romance of the tower, the piety of the cathedral, the art of the museum, the freedom of the hill, and the grandeur of the Arc de Triomphe combine to create an unforgettable impression. Paris is a city that you can't miss even for a moment. #HawaiiFlightEvent

#winhkflight In the heart of Paris, where the Champs-Élysées stretches like a ribbon of gold through the city, stands a timeless symbol of triumph and resilience – the Arc de Triomphe. As I gazed up at its towering form, I felt a sense of awe wash over me, knowing that I stood in the presence of one of the world's most iconic landmarks. The Arc de Triomphe has stood watch over the city of Paris for over two centuries, bearing witness to moments of triumph and tragedy, war and peace. Its grandeur and elegance are a testament to the vision of those who built it and the spirit of the French people who have rallied around it in times of struggle. As I approached the base of the monument, I marveled at the intricate carvings and elaborate sculptures that adorned its facade. Each detail told a story – of battles won and lost, of heroes honored and sacrifices made. It was a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the human soul and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity. I climbed the spiral staircase that wound its way to the top of the monument, eager to take in the panoramic view of the city below. From this vantage point, Paris spread out before me like a patchwork quilt, its iconic landmarks and bustling streets bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. As I stood atop the Arc de Triomphe, I felt a sense of connection to the countless souls who had come before me – soldiers and statesmen, artists and revolutionaries – all drawn to this sacred place in search of inspiration and meaning. It was a humbling reminder of the enduring power of human endeavor and the eternal quest for greatness. As the sun dipped below the horizon and the city below came alive with the twinkling lights of evening, I lingered a while longer atop the Arc de Triomphe, savoring the moment and etching the memory into my heart. For in that fleeting instant, I felt as though I had touched eternity – and found it to be beautiful.
