925. Great place for vacation
"If you like it, just stay. ”
After walking around the castle, after probably understanding it, Zhou Fangyuan said to his parents.
He could see that his mother really liked this place, and the castle was not necessarily her favorite, but the main thing was that this carefree environment made people feel comfortable.
"Stay?"
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother glanced at each other, but shook their heads in unison.
"Forget it, our relatives and friends are all in China, just the two of us live here, we don't know each other, and we don't speak French, so forget it, just take a look......"
Zhou's mother said while shaking her head.
This is also the truth, not to mention the older generation, even if it is Zhou Fangyuan's generation, if they don't have excellent foreign language conversation skills, they won't have a life abroad. It's not that you can't live, you can live, but the problem is that you can't communicate with others, you can't make friends, and the feeling of loneliness can easily destroy a person's will.
Young people can also learn foreign languages on their own, and if they increase their daily conversations, the number of them will increase quickly.
But Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are already middle-aged at this age, and their learning ability has begun to decline, and it is not impossible to learn a foreign language at this age, but it is more difficult. They didn't have this idea themselves, so Zhou Fangyuan's proposal was rejected as soon as he said it.
"However, it's okay to come over for a vacation once in a while, and the environment here is pretty good. ”
It's pretty good, Su Dai's side, the soil is mainly gravelly, covered with a layer of calcareous clay. In some villages, the base layer of the soil is sandstone, which is formed by the precipitation of iron in the sand. Such soils create the conditions for the birth of first-class wines. The vineyards are sheltered by a large pine forest to the west, which is resistant to the harsh weather. The Garon River also generates a lot of water vapor, which turns into night fog at the end of summer. In mild temperatures, such night fog tends to grow the Cinerea fungus: also known as "noble rot", which erodes through the skins of grapes and shrinks the flesh. The flesh then turns into a golden jam with intense sugar and aroma.
Therefore, the production standards of the Sauternes legal production area are extremely strict. In particular, all grape harvests are carried out by hand, one by one, and several times. In each case, only noble rot grapes, which are almost raisins, are used.
The highest vineyards and the farthest from the river have the best terroir, so most of the classified wineries are concentrated here, and the surrounding natural environment is also good, so the winery is indeed a good place for vacation.
"So, that's it? Come over every year for a vacation, and bring your grandparents and grandparents. ”
Zhou Fangyuan did not forcibly ask his parents to live here, but followed their words.
Filial children do not mean that they must provide their parents with good living conditions, but most importantly, they must make their parents feel happy and meet all their requirements, not necessarily all material, but also spiritual.
Zhou Fangyuan doesn't like to force their parents to behave like it, and some children feel that their ideas are good things for their parents, and they don't care about it, so they ask their parents how they should be, just like the treatment they received from their parents when they were young. But the problem is that when children are still young, their understanding of society is incomplete, and some of the opinions and suggestions of parents cannot be said to be all wrong, but they are also correct. On the other hand, some of the suggestions and opinions put forward by children to their parents when they grow up are not necessarily correct, but more likely to be a kind of self-righteousness and self-interpretation.
In short, Zhou Fangyuan is not the kind of person who likes to force his parents to do something, they are willing or unwilling, anyway, the winery is here, he can't run away if he buys it, and he doesn't plan to sell it. They can settle down if they want to, it doesn't matter if they don't want to; if they want to come over for vacation every year, of course, there is no problem, anyway, Zhou Fangyuan now has a private jet, or a big plane, and there is no problem at all with some more families.
And it's actually good to go out and walk more, especially for the elderly.
Most of their lives have been confined to the land of their hometown, living, working, and too many other things, so that their lives can only be confined to such a small area.
Now that you are old and have long since retired, it is time to enjoy life, so wouldn't it be nice to come out and take a stroll, see things you haven't seen before, and eat something you haven't eaten before?
If you want to talk about France, there is a lot to do.
Let's not talk about those in the city, of course, there are many places to visit in the city, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, etc., these are of course world-famous important attractions. But the biggest problem is that these attractions are all in the city, to put it mildly, just take a week to play, these attractions can be played all.
If you really want to bring your grandparents to France for a vacation in the future, it is actually better to go to more natural attractions.
For example, the Alps, which stretch across south-central Europe, are located in the mountains of France and the surrounding towns and are a great destination for deep into France, away from the world, and experiencing nature. Chamonix at the foot of the mountain is home to Mont Blanc and Needle Sud, Evian is famous for its mineral springs, Annecy on the border between France and Switzerland has been voted one of the "10 most beautiful towns in Europe", and Grenoble, the hometown of the great writer Stendhal. Skiing in Chamonix is the best way to experience it in winter, and the natural ski resorts are ideal for skiers. In addition to skiing, you can take the world's highest and fastest cable car from Chamonix to the 3,842-metre Needle Sud. At the top of the summit is a suspended panoramic platform that overlooks the Alps.
The fjords around the Côte d'Azur are also good, and when you go to the Côte d'Azur, you will definitely visit the monuments of the Old Port or the beaches that stretch for several kilometers, but the essence of the Côte d'Azur lies in the fjords that are not many tourists! The fjords of Marseille are 20 kilometers long, and the small beaches are hidden in the winding white limestone coast, and the water in the bay is blue and green, clear and transparent, and beautiful in the sun. Every year, it attracts outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world to hike, dive and climb. If you are in good shape, a hike in the fjord is recommended.
There are also the Verdun gorge, the lake of Sainte-Cross. Voted one of the most beautiful places in the world by National Geographic, there are many activities to choose from, such as unique canyoning, canoe rafting, ziplining over the canyon, and more, with experienced guides who will give you a unique thrill experience while maintaining your safety. Of course, these projects are certainly not suitable for the elderly, but the natural attractions are mainly to enjoy the natural scenery, and the scenery of the fjord is quite good.
Zhou Fangyuan had also been to Elephant Trunk Hill in Normandy before, and Monet was shocked by the unique shape of Elephant Trunk Mountain, where he created a series of impression landscape photos. Its myriad of cliffs and natural light combine to accentuate the knife-straight white cliffs and the stunningly unique pinnacles. From a distance, the cliff looks like an elephant burying its proboscis deep in the sea, so this cliff is also nicknamed Little Elephant Trunk Mountain. High on the cliff stands the Chapel of the Custodian of the Virgin, which blesses the fishermen of Étreta with a safe return every day. At the other end of the beach is the lower cliff that echoes the upper cliffs, the famous Treota Trunk Hill. The waves have carved a huge arched rock wall, and on the west side of the arch stands a unique needle peak. There are many legends about this 51-metre-high needle, but locals prefer to believe that it is Maurice Leblanc's "Hollow Rock Pillar", which hides the treasures of the French kings.
This place he highly recommends, and if grandparents come, he must take them to see it.
There is also the Rose Coast of Brittany, located in the Brittany region of France, which sounds very romantic. Because the granite here is rich in three minerals, mica, feldspar and quartz, which makes the seaside rocks take on a wonderful rosy red color in the sun. The large expanse of red rocks, or overlapping, or scattered on the seashore, or looming through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Then there's Karnak's Stonehenge, which is perhaps one of the world's most famous prehistoric sites in the world, and Carnak seems somewhat obscure in comparison. The famous Stonehenge at Karnak is located on the northern outskirts of the town, with nearly 3,000 boulders arranged in a straight line from west to east, stretching for nearly 4 kilometers. As early as 7,000 years ago, these huge rocks of various shapes were erected here by local prehistoric tribes in the form of megaliths, stone sheds, tombs, circular stone walls or other forms, as for how to carry these huge objects, why they are so huge, the function of Stonehenge, etc., are still unsolved mysteries for archaeologists around the world. Whether it is a religious and cultural building or a prehistoric agricultural calendar, Karnak Stonehenge is undoubtedly a treasure of prehistoric civilization and stone architecture left by predecessors.
Camembert, the hometown of the King of Cheese, is also worth a visit, and in a gastronomic country like France, for those who have a big foodie empire, the cheese town of Camembert would be a no-brainer. Camembert cheese produced here is the quintessence of French cuisine. A sip of the most authentic cheese and a journey down the ancient Camembert Way is a journey for both the eyes and the palate, while the idyllic rural town is a unique sight.
Then there is Bordeaux, needless to say, the Sudai area where Lysalusburg is located, is located in the south of Bordeaux, a fairly large area of Bordeaux, if it is used in a domestic tone, it is equivalent to our introduction to South China, North China, such a statement. This is the world's largest winery gathering place, all kinds, large and small wineries, of course, this does not need to be specially visited, come to the estate here to rest for a while, itself is already in Bordeaux.
In addition, such as the Château de Chenonceau, Mont Saint-Michel, the city of Springs, etc., are all very famous attractions.
In addition, if you remove the so-called scenic spots, some areas are also very interesting.
Beaujolais, for example, is one of the most beautiful mountains in France and a great place for couples to have a good time. Delicious fruity wines and delicious food are the main attraction here, with its stunning green landscapes.
Brittany is surrounded by water, there are many historical buildings with a wide variety of medieval buildings, designed in French and Roman styles, and you can also enjoy amazing sea views in the Brittany countryside.
Cannes is one of the best cities in France, and it hosts the Cannes Film Festival and the Cannes Lions Lions Festival of Creativity every year. The city has several stunning villas featuring Roman architecture, as well as museums, forest islands, and many ancient castles.
Chambord is one of the most ornate and elegant castles in France and one of the top 10 most famous palace buildings in the world, blending French and Renaissance culture and architecture.
Biarritz is a city located in the Bay of Biscay, where you can sunbathe and have amazing beaches, there are many luxury resorts where you can rest and enjoy a variety of cuisines.
A beautiful town in Lourdes, France, known for its artistic architecture and medieval castles. The Sanctuary of Lourdes is a famous pilgrimage site, with more than 200 million people making the pilgrimage here every year.
One of the main features of France is the stunning Alsatian village, where the houses are made of wooden walls and the roofs are made of flat bricks. Here, you can feel the best of nature, full of stunning hilly landscapes, lush trees, and patches of grassy land.
Lyon has many historical landmarks and sites, with the Rhône and Saon rivers running through the city. There are many Renaissance buildings here, and you can also taste a variety of delicious French dishes and many other European dishes in different restaurants.
In short, there are too many, and what is the advantage of a country like France? Because the country is small, it will have a lot of personality. In fact, there are many cities with personality in China, but there are too many, such a large land area, so many cities, too much, but it is boring. And after these years of development, the speed of development of China is fast, everyone has to admit this, but many traditional things are gone, a large number of ancient buildings have been demolished, many cities have lost their business cards, and become the same.
In this regard, France is really doing well, except for Paris, many smaller cities have their own character and characteristics, and are very good places to visit.
Of course, having said so much, it's all fake, and now it's in vain, waiting for grandpa and them to come over, even if they move quickly, it will have to be the second half of the year, and it has to be the parents and parents who work hard to persuade them to get results after they go back, the old man is willful, and he is older, I really don't know if they want to come.
But for now, let's take care of my parents first.
