Qu Lihua is the first time to come to France, the French palace architecture style is different from the Oriental palace, it looks very fresh, Qu Lihua asked Professor Abner, "Professor Abner, what was the status of this palace in Europe at that time?"

"The construction of the entire palace and gardens of Versailles was completed and soon became the largest, most majestic and most luxurious palace building in Europe and a magnificent monument to the birthplace of the aristocratic activity of France and Europe, the center of the arts and the culture and fashion. ”

"But the gap between the rich and the poor widened, the royal relatives lived a luxurious and erosive life, and the people were oppressed, too poor, and then the French Revolution broke out, the people rushed into the palace and ransacked it, history left us a lot of inspiration for future generations, no matter what country it is, we must remember history, we must win the hearts of the people, win the hearts of the people, so that the people have a good life, in order to develop for a long time. ”

"Let's take a look at the Place de la Concorde, which is one of the must-see attractions in France. ”

Located in the center of Paris, on the north bank of the Seine, the Place de la Concorde is the most famous square in France, which was originally built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Place Louis XV", during the Revolution, it was called "Place de la Revolution", and was used by the French people as a stage to show the destruction of royal power.

Standing in the center of the square and looking at the wide Champs-Élysées pastoral avenue, you can see the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the road, the famous National Assembly building, the Palais Bourbon, and the Madeleine Cathedral.

Renovated in 1840 to form such a scale, the square is octagonal in shape, with the Egyptian obelisk in the center, which was given to Charles V by the Governor of Egypt, the obelisk is carved from a single piece of pink granite, engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs, in praise of the great achievements of the Egyptian pharaohs, and the square is surrounded by eight statues, symbolizing the eight major cities of France.

Qu Lihua stands here, looking up, on all sides of the square stand eight statues representing the eight largest cities in France in the 19th century, Rouen and Brest in the northwest, Lille and Strasbourg in the northeast, Bordeaux and Nantes in the southwest, Marseille and Lyon in the southeast.

"When it comes to these eight cities, they are really very famous, they are really famous cities in France, some cities are the economic lifeblood of France, very important, many Chinese people only know Paris, but they are very unfamiliar with these cities, and we invite Professor Abner to explain to you some of the characteristics and history and cultural knowledge of these cities, I hope to enlighten you. Head Xia Yuxiang said.

"It was a real pleasure to listen to Professor Abner introduce us to the attractions and the cities of France, Professor Abner is really worthy of being a historian, an economist, very knowledgeable, and not only speaks French well, but also is proficient in English and Chinese, ask Professor Abner to explain to everyone, and there is no need to spend another money to hire a translator." ”

"Head Xia is really polite, when I was young, I went to study in the United Kingdom and China, so in addition to my native French, I also learned English and Chinese, I think English and Chinese are the world's common languages in the future, if young people can learn these two foreign languages well, whether they are scholars doing academic exchanges, or doing business, they can understand English and Chinese, which is very helpful for individuals." ”

"Otherwise, the price of a translator is very high, some translations need to be calculated by hours, many ordinary people can't afford to hire a professional translator, if you use translation software to translate some daily conversations, but when you encounter professional translation, the translation software is still defective, and it can't be translated particularly accurately. ”

"So my advice is that when young people are young, if they can, they should learn more foreign languages by themselves, even if they travel abroad, it is very convenient. ”

Rouen is an ancient city with a thousand-year-old history, with many monuments, including the famous Rouen Cathedral dating back to the end of the 4th century AD.

Xia Yuxiang said: "We have also led you to visit some port cities before, because the inland port is also similar to those port cities, due to the relatively developed water transportation, the port goods are easy to be transported directly from the waterway transportation, when we visit this city, and then ask Professor Abner to give you a detailed explanation, we first have a general understanding of the city, have an impression on it." ”

"Okay!" Qu Lihua nodded.

Professor Abner began to explain to everyone, he is really familiar with these cities in France, because he is French, he grew up in France, and he is a historian and economist, so he is really familiar with the introduction of French cities, and he explained it very thoroughly.

"I heard Dean Zhang say that you have been to Russia before, and there are many opera houses, ballet theaters, and cinemas in Russia, and we in France, like Russia, attach great importance to culture and art, so there are more theaters and cinemas in Rouen. ”

Qu Lihua said: "Maybe it has something to do with the large population and the fact that people also need entertainment and relaxation after work. ”

"Yes, the city of Rouen is still very lively, the population is also large, a large number of people, there is popularity, when we visited the Seine before, I also emphasized popularity many times, anywhere, as long as there are more people, there is popularity, the formation of a business district, the construction of facilities next to it keeps up, business is easy to do, business is prosperous, GDP will go up, and the economy will develop. ”

Walking through the old town, the lively market square is right in front of you, with the new Joan of Arc Church and the Joan of Arc Museum, which are architecturally different from the others.
