Chapter 155: Provence

"Haha, you're so good, my teeth aren't as good as yours, I can't chew, I still prefer to eat our Chinese xiaolongbao, steamed buns, steamed buns, which are softer and easier to digest!" Qu Lihua said.

The young people laughed, and the members of the delegation became familiar with each other, and they sat together, looked at the scenery, and chatted, which was very happy.

Head Xia Yuxiang asked for everyone's opinions, "How about we go to Provence next?

"Head Xia, we all want to go, I heard that the sea of flowers in Provence is very famous, Head Xia, take us to have a look!"

"Okay, I know that you girls like romance, the sea of flowers in Provence is really beautiful, in many film and television dramas, many directors and crews come here to film, it is excellent to shoot romance films, romantic flowers, sweet love, it's really desirable, okay, I'll meet everyone's wishes, take you to see it together!"

"Head Xia, you're so good, hello, we're going to Provence!" everyone clapped and applauded, full of anticipation.

Waiting for the head of the summer group to take everyone to this beautiful place by car, it is an amazing resort in front of everyone.

Professor Abner told everyone that Provence Flower Sea Provence is located in the southeast of France, adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, bordering the Mediterranean Sea of the Cte d'Azur, the homeland of lavender, bordering Italy, extending from the Mediterranean coast to the inland hilly area, with the Rhône River in the middle, many historical cities, since ancient times with beautiful sunshine and blue sky to amaze the world.

Provence is a "city of knights", but also the birthplace of medieval chivalric lyric poetry, famous towns such as Marseille and Aix, as well as Arles, Guerde, Avignon, Nîmes and other towns, rich in products, sunshine, beautiful scenery, since the ancient Greek, Roman times have attracted countless tourists, and it is still a tourist attraction.

Another attraction is that, like Hungary, it also produces excellent wines.

"When we talk about Provence, we have to talk about history, the geographical scope of Provence in history has changed greatly, in ancient Rome, the province of Provence stretched from the Alps in the north to the Pyrenees in the south, including the whole of southern France, and during the Roman Empire, Provence was listed as a province to which it belonged," said Professor Abner. ”

"At the end of the 18th century, during the Revolution, France was divided into five different administrative departments, Provence was one of them, and in the 60s of the 20th century, the administrative departments were reorganized into 22 regions, so that the Provence Alpes region was created. ”

"So the French Revolution still had a great impact on many regions, and history and the society at that time together formed many of the historical relics that we see now. ”

"So a lot of the buildings we see today are known for their Roman ruins, medieval, Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and the city of Aix is also known for its unique cuisine, rosé wines, and the special Provençal dialect. ”

"This kind of dialect can only be understood by the local people, and people who don't live here for a long time are called strangers, and they really can't understand it!"

"Oh, Professor Abner, after you said this, I learned that there are dialects in French, otherwise I would have thought that French pronunciation is the same!"

Professor Abner smiled, "If the country is big, there are many cities, and different regions will have dialects, and the people in each region will have different language habits and different pronunciations, so dialects will be formed, and there are many dialects in China!"

"When I first went to China, I couldn't understand Shanghainese or Cantonese, and I always thought that Chinese all spoke Mandarin, but I didn't expect that even Beijing's Mandarin has tongue rolls and tongue warped sounds, and if you don't listen carefully, you really can't understand it." ”

"I learned Chinese and Mandarin, thinking that with Mandarin, I could go to many cities in China, but I found that many places have dialects, Shanghainese, Suzhou, Cantonese, Sichuan, very different, other cities also have their own dialects, I will not give examples one by one." ”

"So we are like this in France, the more cities, the different people's language habits and living habits, the different dialects. ”

"Everyone who sees Provence from the TV series must think that the weather here is very good, the wind is beautiful, but the actual situation is not so, I tell you, you must be surprised!"

"The whole region of Provence has an unusual charm due to its great variety, with unpredictable weather ranging from warm and cold to wild. ”

Qu Lihua was puzzled, "Why is this happening?"

"Because Provence has a Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and mild winters, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, the mountain climate is characterized by long, snowy winters, hot summers, thunderstorms, clear differences between valley slopes, and various microclimates. "Summer is usually from July to September, and daytime temperatures are generally above 30 degrees, and winter from December to February, when the temperature is usually around 10-15 degrees. ”

"Its unique location is also its charm, with its undulating terrain, vast plains, steep peaks, lonely valleys, desolate castles, winding mountains and fashionable metropolises, all of which are a variety of flavors in this French land. ”

"Although there are differences in the climate between the north and south of Provence, it is generally suitable for tourism all year round, especially in the peak season of spring, summer and autumn, so we came at the right time, as long as it is not winter, it will not be too cold. ”

"Especially in July-August, the lavender blooms in the wind, the intense colors decorate the verdant valleys, the slightly spicy fragrance mixed with the scent of the scorched grass, interweaving into the most unforgettable scent of the south of France, surrounded by a sea of flowers, it is an indescribable romantic and blissful feeling, you will want to feel it later. ”

Listening to Professor Abner's introduction, Qu Lihua followed everyone up the hill and presented it in front of everyone, as Professor Abner introduced, it was fascinating, the most refreshing thing about Provence is that its air is always filled with the aroma of lavender, thyme, pine, etc., this unique natural aroma is not easily experienced in other places, lavender is the most blessed and loved.

It is said that lavender also has its flower language, especially the large purple lavender, which blooms all over the mountains, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lavender, symbolizing pure and romantic love.

Speaking of love, this is what girls yearn for, how many girls' dreamy scenes can be seen here, a large sea of flowers, surround you, and your mood will immediately get better.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Qu Lihua stretched out her arms and took a deep breath, she wanted to embrace nature and indulge in this sea of flowers.
