I love Paris Tourism - The Seventh District

The district VII, on the left bank of the Seine. I 'home to several government agencies and some major tourist attractions are very important. This district is about 1.6 square kilometers (slightly more than 4 square kilometers) and has a population of almost 57,000 people, while receiving over 76 thousand jobs.

Some of the best jobs in this district in the National Assembly (National Assembly), the French lower house of Parliamentconsisting of 577 elected members, known as members (MPs) elected to represent a single name. The official headquarters of the National Assembly is the Palais Bourbon (Bourbon Palace) on the banks of the Seine, and some nearby buildings.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, perhaps best known landmarks in the world recognizes. This man walking (thousand feet) buildings as high as eighty floors of buildings, attractsmore than six million visitors who pay. Once the world's tallest building now is only the fifth tallest building in France. However, year after year, visitors to pay more to see than any other monument in the world.

The Eiffel Tower was built between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance to the Universal Exposition (World's Fair), in honor of the centenary of the French Revolution. It was not immediately popular. French writer Guy de Maupassant supposedly breakfast every day.When asked why, because everyone knew that he hated the tower, he simply replied - that was the only place where you could not see the tower in Paris. The initial plans were destroyed after the tower of 20 years, but plans changed happy. The tower used to transmit radio and has been used for television broadcasts during the German occupation of Paris during World War II and again since 1957.

There is an elegant restaurant with a private elevator to the second floor and another restaurant in thethe first floor. The Eiffel Tower was struck by lightning in 1902 and 1910 he served in the discovery of cosmic rays. And scammers are able to sell as scrap. The rook moves up to 7 inches (18 centimeters) by the sun and weighs about a third as much in the wind. You can climb the first two levels, but still needs a lift higher. Once every seven years, is painted in three colors, true to the entrance.

During the German occupation, Nazi soldiersclimb to the top and a swastika, but after a few hours the wind GAR away. Later, during the war, the tower has proudly flown the flag of France. During the winter the first floor houses a skating rink free. His image is copyrighted night. Many buildings, many are larger, but none is as visible and may even have added.

Hôtel Matignon, completed in 1725 one of the most distinguished in Paris.
At this time the master of all"Well dressed" person to visit the house in his absence. Too bad they do not know anything about this little piece of history the last time was in the vicinity. The building had a lot with the famous signature of the Matignon Accords in 1936, which established the forty hour week and holidays for the workers saw the French. During the Second World War was used by the colaboracionista. According to legend, took over the French resistance leader who gets confused between the localHôtel Matignon Matignon Avenue and across the Seine. In all honesty, I had in mind. General de Gaulle convened the government there in 1944 and again in 1958. The park is the largest private garden in Paris.

Le Champ de Mars (Campus Martius) is named for the Roman god of war and used for military training. Is not the time described by the military school. E 'has been the setting for a festival and a massacre during the FrenchRevolution.

The Orsay museum (Musée d'Orsay), was once a train station, the first electrified city in the world. Charles de Gaulle spoke in 1958 before taking power. Now is a museum specializing in French art from 1848 to 1914. Its collection includes works by Impressionists Monet, Renoir, and many others.

The Ecole Militaire (Military School) was founded in 1750 by Louis XV. Madame de Pompadour was part of this project, the aim was to allow poor childrenthe Cadets. Napoleon was a good student who graduated from a two-year program in one year, but he had already visited (nine years), another French military school. Make sure the near Les Invalides (The Invalides) complex in 1670 as a retirement home for war veterans, was extended to a military hospital, war monuments and war museums are built visit. Many of the French war hero hero even greater war buried in Franceall, Napoleon Bonaparte and his family.

Musée Rodin (Rodin Museum), opened in 1919 at the Hotel Biron where he lived since 1908. Contains most of his major works as The Thinker and The Kiss. You will see many of his sculptures in the gardens. Other great artists and sculptors such as Van Gogh, Rodin and Claudel are represented in the museum.

The Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Paris Institute of Political Studies), often as a sciencePo is one of the largest schools in France. Among the topics of choice are political science, economics, business administration, communications, finance, journalism, law, administration and urban studies. E 'was founded in 1872 by French businessmen, intellectuals and politicians, after the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the Paris Commune the following year. In recent years Sciences Po has taken a few students from outside the slumParis, a French version of the city. This is in contrast to its elite student body. The degree program is generally three years with third year abroad or an internship. Of course there are master's and doctoral programs. Students at least two foreign languages ​​and the French master. Many French leaders like Chirac and Mitterand, thirteen former prime minister and a number of world leaders are exStudents, teachers, or both.

Of course, you can not prove without a good wine and French food in Paris. In my article I Love French Wine and Food - A Bordeaux Merlot I reviewed a wine and suggested a sample menu: Start with Gravette huîtres (Arcachon Bay oysters). For your second course enjoy Lamproie au Pomerol (eel cooked in red wine and chocolate). And for dessert: Enjoy Cannelle Bordeaux (Portable crème brulee). Its ParisSommelier (wine steward) to accompany the wines best suited for each course can be.

The piigs are not safe

We've all heard of the European sovereign debt crisis, some of the major economies of Europe (Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Greece and Italy), all with huge budget deficits, massive debt and low growth. The UK has just escaped from the news.

Greece was swimming in debt, and actually reached the point where there is a real danger is in arrears on its debt before the EU came on a rescue package. Greece has been strong in its severity, and whilepublic scandal, the spotlight seems to be disappearing.

When he was replaced by Portugal, Prime Minister Jose Socrates of Portugal Left predict progressive severity, during the years of growth have helped to reduce the deficit of 2% (9.3% last year to 7, 3% this year). Probably because his minority government, it is difficult, a little 'too hard to Parliament, not without a public uprising in Greece, as we have seen happen to speak.

SorryInvestors have no faith shared Socrates, with yields higher than they were in debt investments in Portugal Portugal is the Euro 6.41%.

The OECD has come to support the lack of enthusiasm from investors during the week. He said that Portugal is stronger conservation measures, including extending the wage freeze until 2013 and raise the sales tax and property should be taken. Both will be very difficult to sell to the public, or even enter the government.

Portugal is still ownedinterest received by foreign buyers, but as we saw in Greece are higher property taxes bad for business.
