"Our next stop is Mont Saint-Michel, to see the mountains in the north of France, and to see the scenery that is different from the city!" said Xia Yuxiang, the head of the group.

"Okay, Captain Xia, during this time, we have been to many attractions in France, and we have a better understanding of the country of France. Meng Wenjie said.

"Yes, we rarely had the opportunity to go abroad before, more business trips in China, have been to many cities in China, but there are few opportunities to go abroad, the "Belt and Road" has given us young people opportunities, our company also cooperates with multinational companies, this time Dean Zhang recommended us to participate in the delegation, it is a rare opportunity, to go abroad to many countries along the "Belt and Road", it is really eye-opening. ”

Xia Yuxiang said: "Yes, young people should go abroad to see, broaden their horizons, increase some knowledge, I am in favor of you to go abroad to see, we only understand how the world is, in order to better understand the Belt and Road initiative, in order to put into their own work, for the "Belt and Road" to make more contributions." ”

"We will keep in mind Captain Xia's words!"

"Well, this is my ardent hope for you, work hard, let's go, I've already arranged the itinerary, let's go immediately, the vehicle is ready. ”

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie and other members of the delegation followed to get into the car, Qu Lihua sat in a window position, you can see the scenery outside the window, the scenery of France is still very good, the climate is pleasant, the temperature difference is not large, the weather is sunny a lot, it only rains occasionally, the delegation travels, it is still very smooth, most of them are sunny weather, and occasional light rain is not in the way.

At the foot of Mont Saint-Michel, Professor Abner was a tour guide and explained to everyone that he was a native French and was too familiar with the attractions of France.

"There are still a lot of tourists who come here, we are now at the foot of the mountain, we get off the car and walk, I will introduce it to you!"

Mont Saint-Michel is located in the northwest of Normandy, France, is a famous monument and Catholic shrine in France, located on a small island in the province of Manche, two kilometers from the coast, the island is conical in shape, composed of towering granite, located on a small island in the province of Manche.

Mont San Michel is the third holiest Catholic site after Jerusalem and the Vatican, with a rich history and beautiful natural beauty.

"Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it's nice to visit them!" said Professor Abner.

Qu Lihua saw a bay at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel, so she asked Professor Abner curiously: "Is there a tide here? What happens when the tide rises? What happens when the tide goes low? Professor Abner, can you tell us about it?" ”

Professor Abner nodded, "Okay, the bay of Saint-Malo, where Mont Saint-Michel is located, is a tidal flat, and the tides constantly wash sediment ashore, making Mont Saint-Michel an isolated island, which only forms an island at high tide, and connects with the mainland through the tidal flat at low tide, which is quite mysterious, which is one of the reasons why Mont Saint-Michel is so popular with tourists." ”

Meng Wenjie looked around, and there were indeed many tourists.

"There are a lot of tourists here, the tourism industry in France is very well developed, there are many attractions, and many places are listed on the World Heritage List, which is really worth seeing!"

"When we introduce a scenic spot, we have to start with its history, because these histories are an important cause of these famous scenic spots, although the history is far away, but it still leaves a very valuable wealth for our descendants. ”

It is said that this history also has a bit of legend, which was determined by the religion of France and the society of the time, when a red cardinal from the small town of Afranche, Aube, dreamed of the Archangel St. Michael. ”

"One night, the angel of St. Michael appeared in Aube's dream for the third time in the midst of lightning and thunder, and he tapped his finger on the door of Aube's head. ”

Bishop Aube woke up from a dream and felt the dent on the door of his head, and then it dawned on him that Bishop Aube was still very superstitious, and the French were always people, and they still believed in things that could not be explained by science, a dream, but he also believed it, so he immediately rushed to the Tombstone Mountain, and began to complete the divine decree of the archangel, and the first church was built on the hill of St. Michael. ”

"So France, like Russia, they have their religious beliefs, they all believe in God, and it's easy to believe in God when people can't change the status quo. ”

"In the treasure room of Saint-Vige in Afranche, one can still see the skull of Bishop Aubert with the finger hole of an angel, of course, this is only a legend, whether it was poked by an angel or not, no one can say, and the age is too old to verify. ”

Of course, Bishop Aube believed in this dream and began to build this place of pilgrimage, where countless priests and craftsmen carried patches of granite through quicksand and pulled them up to the top of the mountain, and many architects and artists trimmed and carved on these solid rocks. ”

"It took generations of hard work until the 16th century when the Abbey of Saint-Michel was actually completed, and a dream from Aubert kept people busy for eight centuries. ”

Qu Lihua was stunned, "Just for a dream, you actually let the people below work for eight centuries?"

Professor Abner laughed, "You must think it's ridiculous, don't you?"

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie looked at each other.

Professor Abner said: "Yes, it is so ridiculous, and sometimes, because of an absurd dream from above, it is ordered that the people below be subjected to suffering, just to satisfy the selfish desires of those people!"

"The workers and people below have no rights, they can only do what they are told, and they will be punished if they do not follow their orders, so it is the same in the West, those who do not hold the rights, live like ants, tiny and humble, and no one has ever listened to their feelings. ”

"I worked every day until I died, and I worked for eight centuries, which was long enough, which is why the Great Revolution broke out in France, and the slaves of the toiling masses below were too long, and war broke out. ”

"It is also reflected in many literary works, and the best masterpiece is "Notre Dame de Paris", when you understand this book, you can also understand the history of France and the French society at that time. ”

"Later, people built a lot of shops and hotels at the foot of the mountain, because there were more and more tourists, it became popular, and I also said when I took you to Paris before, as long as there are people in a place, there are more and more people, and there are more and more people, and there will be business opportunities, and people always have to exchange things with each other, and if they exchange things, there will be trade, and when the time of trade is completed, local rules will be formed, and everyone will abide by such rules and order. ”
