First of all the architecture amazed me when I was passing it after spending almost whole day collecting data for my research. I went there to catch the a train from the RER of Chatelet les Halles so that I can go to Cite University from there. But I stopped and explored the underground mall instead for a while. They it it looked from the outside it was indeed very beautiful on the inside too. It was so clean I couldn’t imagine as it was close to the train station. This shopping mall welcomes 150,000 visitors daily including the locals and the tourists. Also it was still the second most visited shopping mall in France with 39.2 million visitors.
I got back to the hostel of Cite University and France was celebrating the Bastille Day. At night they will have beautiful fireworks. The group planned to go somewhere close to watch the view. I was excited too. But don’t know why I didn’t feel like going in the end with the group. But the fascinating fact is I couldn’t stop my excitement after going through some Instagram stories posted under the hashtag Paris that day. I found several places from there, googled many that how far what was from the place I were in. I was wearing my pjs and took my hoodie and called an Uber. The driver was very nice though after saying bonjour I couldn't speak a thing or understood and explained that I talk very little French nicely. I put my navigation to the planet food area which was just nine minutes away but got a good view before I even got there, though it was way far from the Eiffel Tower but atleast I saw the fireworks a bit and that was enough for me. I stayed ten or twelve minutes and came back through the Uber. It was short but it was wonderful indeed. So here's a very bad resolution zoomed picture of that night.
