Chapter 1303 Paris Filled with Gunpowder

Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his convoy drove into the central city of Paris, heading straight for the Hotel Regina near the Louvre.

Paris, the capital and largest city of France, is also the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of France. It is one of the five international metropolises in the world and has been rated as an international first-tier city.

In addition, Paris is also a famous city of romance and fashion, a city that countless people yearn for, especially in the hearts of countless women who love beauty, heaven should look like Paris!

This is also a palace of art. Countless great works of art have been born in this city, and countless artists have become famous here and become top art masters with international reputation.

There are dozens of museums, large and small, all over the city, displaying a large number of the world's top artworks, enough to make everyone who loves art linger and go crazy!

However, in the eyes of Ye Tian and Betty at this moment, Paris is a city full of gunpowder and war, which has nothing to do with romance, and has nothing to do with art!

As soon as their convoy entered the 8th arrondissement of Paris and turned a corner onto Wagrain Avenue, they saw groups of protesters on the sidewalks on both sides of the street, singing the Marseillaise, striding forward impassionedly.

These protesters were heading in the same direction as Ye Tian and his convoy, at the Charles de Gaulle Square at the end of Wagrain Avenue, where the famous Arc de Triomphe is located!

As the convoy continued to move forward, I saw more protesters, and these guys became more emotional. They were shouting at the top of their lungs, and their voices resounded throughout the block.

From the signs, slogans and banners held by many protesters outside the car, as well as the slogans they shouted, and the composition of the personnel, it can be seen that these are French students protesting against education reform.

Walking on this street and shouting protest slogans, most of them are young people in their teens and twenties. They should be students from various universities and middle schools in Paris. They are the most passionate and easily bewitched!

Among them were protesters of other age groups, including those who supported the protest, parents of students, many who came to join in the fun, and some professionals who participated in all kinds of protests!

Of course, there must be troublemakers among the protesting crowd, as well as gangsters and thieves who are ready to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune!

This is one of the characteristics of French protest marches. In France, especially in Paris, almost all protests on a small scale will inevitably turn into riots, often accompanied by smashing, looting and burning!

The convoy is getting closer and closer to the Place de Gaulle,

The gunpowder smoke rising into the sky ahead is clearly visible!

Those protesters who strode down the street and shouted slogans have changed their attire. Many people in the protest team took out masks and put them on their faces to cover up their faces.

Some of them took out hoods and masks and put them on directly, completely covering their faces.

Obviously, this is a group of very experienced protesters, ready to fight.

The convoy finally drove to the end of the Wagrain Avenue, and then drove into the Charles de Gaulle Square. The famous Arc de Triomphe stood in the center of the square, close at hand!

But at this time, the Arc de Triomphe was shrouded in a thick white, yellow, and black smoke, which was not really visible.

“Go to hell! Education reform, we don’t need it!”

Thousands of protesters gathered on the Charles de Gaulle Square chanted protest slogans, and the voice was overwhelming and deafening, resounding through every corner of the Charles de Gaulle Square.

The hundreds of protesters gathered around the Arc de Triomphe were particularly radical.

While shouting protest slogans, they also threw stones, homemade smoke bombs, and other things at the Paris police not far away. Some guys even ignited car tires and piled up barricades!

Dozens of Paris police officers not far from them formed a phalanx with shields and rubber batons in their hands, staring at the radical protesters, ready to attack and suppress them at any time!

In the middle of the police phalanx, several policemen fired tear gas from time to time, targeting the radical protesters around the Arc de Triomphe.

Behind the police phalanx, two red fire trucks were parked, and several policemen were spraying water with high-pressure water cannons to suppress the attacks of those radical protesters.

Looking at the scuffle scene outside the car window, Betty was already dumbfounded, her eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs almost flew out of their sockets.

"Is this really Paris? Did we come to the wrong place? The Paris I imagined is not like this. The difference is too great. This is simply a battlefield filled with gunpowder!"

Ye Tian looked away from the car window, smiled and said:

"Honey, this is Paris. The Arc de Triomphe in the center of the Charles de Gaulle Square is the best proof! The Paris in everyone's imagination is very beautiful and romantic! Paris in reality is another matter!

In addition to the magnificent and exquisite buildings, countless top-level works of art, etc., there are countless thieves, shit everywhere, and people who protest when they are full and have nothing to do! "

"Hahaha, I've heard of the reputation of Paris as the shit city!"

Betty laughed and said that her mood had quickly returned to normal.

While talking, their heavy-duty convoy had already passed by the edge of Place de Gaulle, turned onto the Champs-Elysées, and then headed east along the Champs-Elysées, heading straight for the Place de la Concorde!

Just as their convoy drove onto the Champs-Elysées, many people among the protesting crowd gathered on Charles de Gaulle Square noticed their convoy.

"The heavy convoy that passed by just now seems to be the convoy of that bastard Steven. I saw it on the news before. Isn't he in Antwerp, Belgium? How did he come to Paris?"

"That's right! It's the convoy that that bastard Steven was riding in. I've also seen it on the news. I didn't expect him to dare to come to Paris. He's so brave!

The top jewels of Queen Mary have all fallen into the hands of that bastard Steven, and he must hand them over. They are priceless treasures belonging to France.

Go back and find out which hotel that guy lives in, and then we organize a group of people to protest and demonstrate, and we must make him hand over those top jewelry! "

Just when these protesters were discussing and preparing to trouble Ye Tian, ​​Ye Tian was joking and chatting with Betty, and introduced the situation in France.

"The French take their rights very seriously, and there are three things that are most important in their lives, eating, sleeping, and the revolution, and maybe love and art.

As for working hard and making money, in the eyes of the French, they all rank very low! To put it bluntly, this is an extremely lazy country, comparable to Greece!

Today happens to be Saturday, the day of rest and the day of the French Revolution! Every Saturday, there will always be protests and demonstrations of various names in Paris, and they never fail!

Since the French Revolution, the French have believed in the famous saying, "Politics is on the street", so whenever they encounter something, they will take to the streets to protest and march.

In France, especially in Paris, protests and demonstrations have long been a tradition, and the French people also enjoy it, enjoying the thrill of venting on the streets and confronting the police!

The protests and demonstrations we saw today are nothing more than pediatrics. In the city of Paris, it is estimated that it can happen more than a dozen times a year. People here are already used to it! "

"It's true. Look at the Champs Elysees outside. It's so close to Charles de Gaulle Square. People act as if nothing happened. Some are shopping, some are drinking coffee, and they are all happy!"

Betty pointed to the street outside the window and said, with a dumbfounding expression.

While speaking, the convoy had already passed the 800-meter-long Champs-Elysées and arrived at the edge of the Place de la Concorde!
