"After watching the opera house, let's relax, I'll take you to see the Jardin du Luxembourg. ”

The Jardin du Luxembourg is a park in the heart of the Latin Quarter in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. There are many busts and monuments of thinkers and poets, huge avenues of sycamores and gardens, fountains, and many statues of ancient wise men, and green iron chairs under tall old trees, where people can play cards, chess or balls, and enjoy their leisure time to the fullest.

The environment of the park is very good, the air is fresh, and the trees, statues, angular paths, and seats scattered in the middle of the street garden will make people feel better when they come here.

"It's good to take a walk in the park and relax your mind, in China, I think everyone is very busy and doesn't have time to come to the park, right?"

"Yes, Head Xia, I haven't been to the park for a long time, I'm too busy at work, I often go to work at two o'clock, go to work, get off work, or crowd in the subway on the road between the company and home, it's been a long time since I have had such leisure and leisure, and I can get close to nature. ”

The entire Jardin du Luxembourg is open in all directions, the roads in the park are straight, the tree canopy is high for visual permeability, and there are plenty of open spaces around the central pool and flower beds.

"The French just love this kind of empty space, I have visited the French Expo exhibition hall before, and it gives me the feeling that it is big, the French love open space, and their park is built like this, and there are flower beds around it, and it is in full bloom. ”

The pond in the middle of the park is always surrounded by many students and young people, whether they are reading books, chatting, picnicking, or taking a nap.

"There are so many people here, it seems that people like to come to the park and sit!"

The northwest corner of the park, close to the orangery, is a place where chess players often meet, regardless of whether it is cold or hot, while bridge players prefer sunny and warm weather.

"The weather in France is really good, there are many sunny days, the weather is also very warm, neither hot nor cold, it is really suitable for human habitation, it is a good place!"

Pont de Millau, a cable bridge that happens to be the tallest bridge in the world at 343 meters and 1,125 feet long, this four-lane bridge spans the Tarn Valley in the south of France, which opened in 2004 and is considered one of France's greatest engineering techniques.

"It's a challenge for a group of extreme skydivers!"

Everyone exclaimed: "Wow, it's really bold to come here to skydive to the limit, such a high bridge, you can really jump!"

Captain Xia Yuxiang said: "Yes, the French are still quite bold!"

Meng Wenjie took a look at the bridge, "If it's me, I definitely won't dare to jump, I'm not married, I haven't married a wife and have children!"

"Hahaha......" everyone was amused.

"Let's go to the city of Nîmes and see different cities in France, you will have different feelings. Head Xia Yuxiang said.

"Good!"

Nîmes is the capital of the Gard department in the south of France, close to the Mediterranean Sea, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, and is known as the warmest city in France.

In French, "Nîmes" is the name of the spring fairy, and along the streets, you can see special fountains everywhere, which makes the whole city full of lively atmosphere, and Nîmes is full of Roman ruins, which is very similar to Arles, but it has a longer history than Arles.

The Pont du Gard is a viaduct from the Roman era, and it is difficult to imagine how it made the water flow in a horizontal form.

Qu Lihua asked Professor Abner, who said, "The Romans, who were genius in their architectural skills, had already designed the slope so that the water flowed down from the top layer of the arch. ”

"The view from this bridge is stunning, it's so beautiful here!"

The square temple is located at the back of the ancient hippodrome, about 10 minutes from the hippodrome. It is an ancient Greco-Roman temple with open space on three sides, adding to the imposing and majestic temple itself, which is characterized by Corinthian columns.

Ascend the hill behind the Nîmes spring to see another Roman ruin, the Mañetta, which was originally used to look into the distance to ward off enemy invasions.

Climb the tower step by step, overlook by the railing, experience the mood of the ancient Roman soldiers when they defended the land against the enemy, and standing on the top of the tower, the scenery from far and near is in full view, in front of the vast plains of the Mediterranean coast, behind the endless peaks, and at the foot is the old street of Nîmes.

The reddish-brown roof tiles and green trees set off the beautiful medieval stone buildings, which is really emotional, and it seems that you have seen history here.

The Colosseum is one of the main Roman monuments in Nîmes, the best-preserved Colosseum in the world and one of the 20 largest of the 400 extant Colosseums in the world.

The Colosseum originated as a battle between hunters and beasts, then more between gladiators, then into a brawl show by trained gladiators, and now into modern life, it has evolved into theater and ceremonial performances.

"It looks very cruel here, the arena hunters fight with wild beasts, and then there are many gladiators fighting each other, and the rich can sit on it and watch," Qu said. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "Yes, it is indeed very cruel, only the strongest warriors can survive. ”

The historic garden on a hill was built in Roman times, and it was believed that there were spirits in Nîmes at that time, and the park was built to dedicate the spirits of the springs.

Qu Lihua said: "The French garden is really beautifully built, well-designed, and many statues are reflected in the characteristics of Europe!"

"Yes, it's really beautiful!" Meng Wenjie nodded.

The beautiful garden is lined with statues, and although it is not as intact as the arena and the shrine, you can feel its former beauty by walking through the garden, leaving an unforgettable impression.

The craze for bulls in Nîmes is so high that no one can tell how many bullfighting clubs there are in this small town, but people come to Nîmes not just to see the bulls, but mainly to enjoy the festive atmosphere, taste delicious ouzo, Provençal food, listen to music and watch the festivities in the streets.

"Wow, the bull is coming, everyone run!" the crowd started running, and everyone looked back.

Good fellows, several adult bulls are running towards the crowd, "Run, run!"

It was really exciting to be chased by the bulls, and the men were even more excited, shouting and running forward quickly, and the bulls saw that the people were running fast, and they were also excited, and chased after the crowd.
