A very sportive bar

Translate this text from English to French
“If you are looking for a good place to eat some meals while exploring the beautiful city of Paris in the broad daylight, La Boussole is one nice café to check out. It has got warm interiors, as shown in this picture. You will never miss out this café because it is covered with a blue poster on the outside. There’s an image of a famous soccer player just standing by the café’s front door too, as if it is welcoming you to go inside. Share your meal with someone at this place. The experience should be no less than satisfying.”

An empty street in Paris ?

Translate this text from English to French
“The streets of Paris are never as empty as this. But you have to admit that even such a sight can be lovely. France is a very beautiful city filled with tall buildings and modern streets. But you’ll definitely see a touch of the medieval era all around. This lamppost is just one of the reminders of such era. And you will see many of them lighting the roads at night, guiding both motorists and pedestrians. Explore Paris either during the day or during the night. You will surely have the time of your life while you’re there.”

“Underground train stations are a plenty in France. This beautiful shot of Paris’s long and fast rail transport shows how advanced and modern the infrastructure in and around the city really is.
