Notre Dame,Paris

So I took some photo of Notre Dame cathedral today.


Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in France and in Europe. It was restored and saved from destruction by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. The name Notre Dame means "Our Lady" in French and it is a sit of the Catholic Church in Paris.

République is a station of the Paris Métro, serving lines 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11.

The station opened on 19 October 1904 as part of the first section of line 3 between Père Lachaise and Villiers. The line 5 platforms opened on 15 November 1907 with the extension of the line from Jacques Bonsergent (then called Lancry) to Gare du Nord.

The Swissôtel Berlin Review

LOCATION:VERY GOOD
ROOM:VERY GOOD
CLEANLINESS:VERY GOOD
STAFF/SERVICE:VERY GOOD

I love that they have soft-option for duvet,room service everyday,the view in our room was amazing and the coffe maker is by nespresso.

Downfall: Internet is very expensive!




The Swissôtel Berlin is located in the heart of West-Berlin and combines traditional Swiss hospitality with a heartfelt service. The elegant and modern Business Hotel offers 316 rooms and suites as well as 10 conference rooms.

Directly at the famous Kurfürstendamm it is the ideal starting point to explore the numerous surrounding galleries, museums and sights. The public rail network is easily accessible and offers excellent connection to the entire city. The main train station is only three stops away and the fairground with the ICC (4 km / 2.5 mls) as well as the Airport Tegel (10 km / 5.4 mls) is reachable shortly.
