🇳🇱🇧🇪🇱🇺🇫🇷 12-day tour to Belgium, Luxembourg and France | A comprehensive guide to the must-see attractions

The smell of freedom, the shock of art, the tipsy feeling of beer, the reflection of the canal. This journey across the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France lasted twelve days. This guide integrates the itinerary I actually took, and is recommended to you who want to take the classic route and also like to live a free and slow life! 🇫🇷 #France・#Paris (about 4 days) 🗼 Eiffel Tower + Seine River Cruise It is worth climbing the tower (or just looking at the exterior), and the light show at night is great🥹! It is recommended to combine it with a night cruise on the Seine River to take in the night view of Paris + historical landmarks at once~ 🎫 It is recommended to make an appointment for night tickets in advance/it is recommended to choose an open deck seat on the boat🤩! 🏛 Louvre One of the three largest museums in the world, the exhibits are huge, remember to lock in a few key areas before visiting the exhibition! Although I was too happy to chat and didn't see the three masterpieces (Mona Lisa, Winged Victory of Victory, Venus) 🤣🥲🤣🥲, it is definitely worth your time to appreciate them! 🎨 Musee de l'Orangerie The circular exhibition hall of Monet's "Water Lilies" is a must-see in this lifetime. It is recommended to go there in the morning or evening on weekdays to avoid the tourist groups and feel the tranquility and light and shadow! 🏛 Centre Pompidou The exterior is ultra-modern, the collection is wonderful, and you can skip the queue with a Paris Museum Pass! Suitable for: modern art lovers, family travel (there is a children's area). Free top view of Paris city view, don't miss it! ⛪ Sacre Coeur (Montmartre) Standing high above, you can overlook Paris, and the white dome matches the dusk sky very well; After going down the mountain, you can visit the Artist Square and Painter's Alley~ 💃 Moulin Rouge I didn't go in to watch the show, but the Moulin Rouge building and the surrounding neon lights are already very dramatic🥹 If you fall in love with this gorgeous and crazy atmosphere because of the movie "Moulin Rouge" like me, you will be really moved on the scene🥹🥹🥹!
