After the Belmondo couple got out of the car, an old French gentleman sat in their seat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Xuan introduced himself again, the same as, alias Lee.

The other man's name is Gamel-Otteul, born in Provence and intending to die in Provence.

According to his colloquial language with a strong southern French accent, Provence seems to have been mentioned frequently in recent years.

Old Ottyul is eighty-two years old this year.

He was very puzzled why, in the past few years, there have suddenly been so many foreign tourists in their lavender farm.

Han Xuan told him: "This may have something to do with some idol dramas or movies filmed in Provence."

It may also be because several writers wrote books in Provence and told the world about the scenery and leisure of Provence.

People love it, and they come to Provence to find their freedom. ”

Old Ottyur was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "We locals don't feel that way, because every day is almost the same, nothing more than busy in the fields, or busy at home, there is only one difference.

When I was younger, I wanted to go out and explore, but then there was a war, many people died in Provence, and large fields were deserted.

The government gave us some welfare policies, so I didn't leave, and then I was trapped in those sixteen acres of land for the rest of my life.

I used to think that I had been wrong in this life, but now that you are so envious of us, I have changed my mind a little. ”

"I can tell you very seriously that your life is definitely the envy of many people.

In our Huaxia, there is an article written in ancient times, called "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".

In many people's minds today, Provence is the paradise of peach blossoms......"

The old man opposite him asked with interest: "I haven't been to Huaxia, and there are very few books about it in the library in the town.

Can you tell me what that article is about?"

After learning Chinese, Isabelli has read many Chinese books, and except for talking to Han Xuan, there is basically no opportunity to use them.

At this moment, he interjected excitedly and said, "I'm coming!"

…… lee。

I'll introduce it to you, I just read this article two months ago and know what it means......"

==========

By the time we entered Provence, it was already in the afternoon.

The sunflowers on the side of the road looked up at the sun, and all they could see were sunflowers.

The train passes through the sunflower fields, as if you can touch them by sticking your hand out the window.

It is probably because of this strange and beautiful gold color that Van Gogh loved sunflowers so much.

He lived for a long time in a madhouse in Provence and created many of the paintings that are now world-famous.

In addition to Van Gogh, famous painters such as Cézanne, Picasso, and Monet, as well as the German poet Friedrich Nietzsche and the English writer Lawrence also lived here.

Provence is not a city, but a region, equivalent to a department in the entire south of France, with a large area.

In the evening it will arrive in Avignon, sixty-seven kilometres from the Luberon mountains.

The old man, Otteyul, was going to take another eighty-five kilometers of train to Marseille, a seaport city near the Mediterranean, and Han Xuan said goodbye to him and got off the train first.

Before coming, Han Xuan contacted the housekeeper of his wine estate, and he sent a bus to meet him.

The red bus was very shabby, as if it had been made in the seventies, and the paint was peeling off on the outside.

Han Xuan is not a squeamish person, he sat down and fastened his seat belt, and asked the driver, "How long does it take to get to my manor from here?"

"The Luberon Mountains are about sixty kilometres from Avignon, and it takes about an hour to get to the vicinity of the Abbey of Senanc.

Those people at Stone Manor, hearing you're coming today, helped you prepare a surprise party. ”

The driver revealed the secret with a big mouth.

Han Xuan was quite speechless about this, since it was a surprise party, what else was there to surprise after saying it......

Located in the south of France, Provence has been careful to keep its secrets from the day it was born.

It wasn't until the arrival of the Englishman Peter Mayer that the veil of Provence's long-standing unique lifestyle was lifted.

Provence is no longer just a geographical name, but a simple, carefree, relaxed and laid-back way of life.

Han Xuan read this sentence in a book: "If travel is to get rid of the shackles of life, Provence will make you forget everything."

When you come to Provence, you have to walk slowly and eat slowly.

Stand in the sun and take a nap, savor slowly, and enjoy the ...... of life"

The black asphalt road under your feet has probably not been maintained since the day it was built.

The bus was already dilapidated, and the road was very bumpy, so Han Xuan and the others staggered, opened the window to let the evening breeze in, so as not to want to vomit.

The air is scented with a mixture of lavender, thyme and pine.

Enjoy the pristine French countryside and gradually come to Stone Town in the Luberon Mountains.

Stone Town, also known as Goude Villa, is one of the 147 famous mountain villas in France, with a small scale of only more than 400 households.

The houses were built on a small hill, from the foot of the hill to the top of the hill, next to each other.

The orange sunset was just about to be shrouded in darkness, and the windows of those buildings with a long history were already lit up.

They got out of the bus and walked the next way.

Twisting his waist and stretching his legs, Han Xuan vowed to buy a few off-road vehicles, and he never wanted to ride in that car again.

Standing in the small square, looking at the town.

I used to think that Augusta Town was small, but compared to Stone Town, Augusta Town is much bigger.

Han Xuan wanted to take a look at the town first, and the only problem now was whether to go left or right from the small square.

Finally decided to go to the right first.

Not far away is a tall castle, and underneath the castle is the liveliest part of the town.

The small streets that twist and go high and low are all interesting little shops.

Sunflower-printed cloth, cicadas made of porcelain, iron, and stone, pots and jars printed with lavender, small galleries with a lot of art, and a fragrant bakery and café......

In the evening, the shopkeeper who does business is also careless.

Owen went to ask how much the bread was, but he ignored it, and casually gestured "2", which means two francs, and asked Owen to take it himself.

Go back the way you came and go left from the small square.

Out of the Stone Town area, through the lavender fields, about 500 meters to the east.

A quiet and peaceful old mountain village is there, and all the lights are on.

In the garden in front of it, twenty or thirty plainly dressed French peasants were placing on the table the food they had brought from each family...... (To be continued.) )
