Most of the painting was a gift of friendship kingdom in two countries, Italy and France, is in the past. Surely 'Mona Lisa' is in this room.

In one corner of the bustling crowd. Ah, they apparently admire painting 'giant' by Paolo Caliari (1538-1588) titled "Les Noces de Cana (Marriage at Cana)" that meets one of the side walls of the room. Illustration festive atmosphere banquet in Cana in the form of Jesus stated in exquisite detail on canvas. On the other side of the room was visible crowd.

How popular and extraordinary charm of 'Mona Lisa'. The painting was also the only fenced leash so that visitors do not get too close and shielded glass. Historically, the painting had been stolen.

'She was as beautiful as I had imagined, "said Hung, who joined colleagues from Vietnam stunned in front of' Mona Lisa '. Hung rushed to be taken a picture set in the 'Mona Lisa'.

Giorgio Vasari Florence said the portrait was a figure of the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. 'Mona Lisa' painted at the request of Francesco.

The warmth of the café

Out of the museum, the cold back into the face. It was growing colder, either because it was getting late afternoon or an empty stomach. Time to look for another warmth: a cup of hot coffee and a booster stomach became the most brilliant idea at the time.

Trips geared to the Café de Flore on the boulevard St Germain, which is considered the most appropriate place for a taste of Parisian style coffee or dinner with a glass of red wine. One of the oldest café in Paris's beautiful to place the authors in 1940 until the 1950s, such as Jean Paul Sarte, Simone de Beauvior, Albert Camus, and Victor Hugo, talking politics, philosophy, and wrote their great works. So is the famous artist and designer of old, such as Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon, Givenchy, and Guy Laroche.

French people build a culture of thinking not only on campus, but also pervasive in everyday life beats, including when they sip / sip a cup of coffee at local cafes on the edge of a rocky road.

Ren Li explains with passion, six cafes that are important in the Quartier Latin.

While listening to the babble of Ren Li about Paris, a piece of duck meat, salad, and half of red wine glass alternately glide into the stomach.

France thought it selfish nature of discourse and dialogue. Parisian also seemed to struggle to protect his character. International chain of coffee shops is not found in every curve like in Jakarta. In major cities such as Paris, local cafes like Café de Flore warm still be an option and not empty.

In the return trip back to the hotel, the vehicle crossed the Eiffel tower, Paris compulsory icon. Iron tower was bathed in yellow light like a giant golden warmth spread the citizens of the world who visit in the winter.
