This French meal was eaten in the hotel where Han Chong was staying, and the French are very particular about eating, and this meal is really not cheap, the appetizer is smoked silver carp, oysters or bread and the like, followed by a thick soup made from a variety of food ingredients, then fish, jelly, interdish, barbecue, salad and dessert.

Han Chong, the legendary golden snail and foie gras, also ate it, but it didn't feel so delicious.

However, this thing is still the most expensive, and as soon as he checked out after eating, it cost Han Chong more than 1,600 euros, Han Chong simply swiped his card for 2,000 euros, paid the tip with the euros he carried, and packed some food to bring to the stars.

The next day the weather in Paris cleared, Han Chong and Bi Yue left the hotel early in the morning and went to the Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 and is located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France.

Standing at the bottom of the base of the tower, looking up at the iron tower as tall as the sky, people seem so small, Han Chong had seen countless pictures on the computer before, and he didn't feel anything at that time, but at this moment, in the face of this miraculous building, when it was in front of his eyes, Han Chong could only sigh at the strength and imagination of human beings.

In front of the tower, there is also a green space and countless fountains, and couples from all over the world are on the Champ de Mars. Playing here to her heart's content, Bi Yue also took off her usual cold appearance, and pulled Han Chong to take pictures of her.

It's just that Han Chong shook his head and watched it for a long time, and he didn't see any domestic newspapers saying that there were immoral open-air celestial behaviors here, so it was probably because the weather was too cold, right?

Bi Yue is very familiar with the landscape of Paris, not only this Eiffel Tower, after leaving from the Champ de Mars, Bi Yue took Han Chong to Notre Dame Cathedral.

This one is in Victor. Hugo's poetic Gothic church is one of the most glorious buildings in history. The carvings and paintings on the altar, cloister, doors and windows, as well as a large number of art treasures from the 13th ~ 17th centuries in the hall, are famous all over the world.

Walking into the church, the 33-meter-wide dome and the 24-meter-high long pillars that lead directly to the roof brought Han Chong a great shock.

The vault tens of meters high is faintly shimmering in the dim light, coupled with religious reverie. It seems that heaven is above.

The third and topmost floor of Notre-Dame Cathedral is Hugo's bell tower, which offers an idyllic view of Paris. Admire the scenery on the Seine, which is cruised by sightseeing boats carrying tourists.

It is said that Hugo once found a Greek word carved into the wall in the dark corner of the north bell tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral: fate. This word inspired him, and Notre Dame de Paris, a work as monumental as this church, was born.

Although the Greek words discovered by Hugo are not seen. It didn't hit the 13-ton bronze bell that Quasimodo had struck and shattered his eardrums, but Notre Dame Cathedral still gave Han Chong a mysterious feeling.

After coming down from the bell tower, Han Chong saw a sculpture stored in a glass case. His face shook slightly, and he looked at Bi Yue and asked, "Bi Yue, what's going on with this statue?" ”

This sculpture shows the scene of great grief of the Virgin holding her dead son in the arms of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion, the Virgin lowered her eyes and looked at Jesus in her arms with infinite sorrow, her expression was very expressive, and the marble was given life in the hands of the artist.

It's just that what shocked Han Chong was not the expressiveness of this sculpture, but because the inside of the sculpture that Han Chong saw through the glass contained an extremely rich aura, and if you calculate it according to time, this should be a work from the 14th to 15th centuries.

Since Han Chong began to pay attention to playing with antiques, he has always been in contact with domestic objects, although he has also seen foreign oil paintings and luxury goods, but there is no aura in those things, and even if there is, it is also some gemstone things.

Like this sculpture, which was 100% carved by man, it was the first foreign artwork containing aura that Han Chong had seen, and the richness of the aura in it was not inferior to the treasures that Han Chong had seen before.

Han Chong came out this time, but also wanted to know whether there would be aura in foreign "antique" artworks, and now Han Chong knows that art really knows no borders, and the value of this sculpture may not be lower than any of his collections.

"Han Chong, you don't even know this? This is the treasure of Notre-Dame Cathedral, Michelangelo's 25-year-old sculpture "Sadness" ah......"

Bi Yue was a little surprised by Han Chong's question, smiled and said: "When this work came out, it caused a huge sensation, and people didn't believe that such an excellent work would come from a young man who was only 25 years old.

For this reason, Michelangelo engraved his name on the belt on the chest of the Madonna in the statue, which is the only work he has signed during his lifetime......"

Listening to Bi Yue's words, Han Chong put his hand on the glass, eager to smash the glass with a hammer and carry away the sculpture inside.

Of course, this can only be thought about, and those big-nosed French policemen may not understand Han Chong's Chinese culture.

After leaving Notre Dame Cathedral, Bi Yue took Han Chong to the Guimet Museum in Paris, Bi Yue had been here before, she knew that there were many Chinese cultural relics here, and thought Han Chong would like it.

After spending six euros per person to enter the Guimet Museum, when he saw the first item hanging on the wall, Han Chong's face immediately became a little ugly.

It is a "Amitabha Western Pure Land Transformation Map", from the style point of view, Han Chong can recognize at a glance, this is from China from Dunhuang Tang Dynasty products, and next to it "Puxian Bodhisattva Riding Elephant" and "Walking Monk Statue", both represent the masterpieces of Tang Dynasty art influence Buddhism.

Walk around this museum. It's almost like in China, and almost all of the collection is from China.

The jade carving of "White Jade Tiger" placed under the glass cover, the tiger walks sideways on the clouds, the body lines are inscribed, simple and fluent, the momentum is clear, masculine and mysterious, it is obviously a work of the Western Han Dynasty, if it is auctioned in China. The minimum value is more than 50 million.

And the bronze with double beast ears, four-legged square seat, top cover has been lost, the mouth is decorated with a circle looking back at the phoenix pattern, and the abdomen is composed of hooks and thunder patterns, from Han Chong's point of view, it should belong to the late Yin Shang period, and it is also a priceless treasure.

Bi Yue, who was following Han Chong, didn't know that Han Chong looked at these precious cultural relics. I was more angry in my heart, those Buddha heads that were obviously taken off by violence, and the huge "Kangxi Southern Tour Map" stored in glass and hung on the wall, made Han Chong's heart go straight up.

Through the observation of the aura in the eyes. Han Chong knew that these objects were all real, and their origins. Needless to say, these foreign devils used guns to knock on China's door and snatch them, and they admired their national treasures in foreign countries. Han Chong had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In fact, not only were the objects here taken away from China during the catastrophe, but also many so-called adventurers who took advantage of China's civil strife and its low prices to smuggle out of China.

Just like the royal Taoist people in Dunhuang back then, just for the sake of coveting just four pieces of horseshoe silver, equivalent to 200 taels of silver, they sold 24 boxes of scriptures and 5 boxes of Buddhist paintings to the British-Hungarian Stein, leaving only the desolate murals of the Mogao Grottoes. Seeing that some Chinese tourists in the museum were making a fuss pointing out those things that belonged to their own country, Han Chong even turned out the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty braids who made evil back then.

"If you don't look at it, it's boring......"

Han Chong was a little interested, compared to China's many precious cultural relics in foreign museums for people to visit, Han Chong hopes that foreign artworks can be placed in Chinese museums.

It's just that although China is much more developed than before, its overall national strength is still not good, and if it can flex its muscles as often as the American stick, perhaps the so-called "eight-nation coalition" of those years will obediently and automatically return to China the property looted more than a century ago.

"What's the matter, my dear, these things are the most precious relics, don't you like them?"

Bi Yue grew up in Hong Kong and studied abroad for a long time, she didn't know much about that period of China's history, and she couldn't understand Han Chong's mood at this moment.

"It's precious, and I like it too, but I prefer them to be stored in Chinese museums rather than here, which only shows that these things were stolen by robbers!"

Han Chong's emotions were a little excited, and his words were very loud, and many Chinese tourists around him heard it, and everyone showed a contemplative look on their faces, Han Chong's words made their hearts also touch a little, and there was no longer that excited expression on their faces.

"I'm sorry, Rui, I didn't know about these ......"

Bi Yue saw Han Chong's excited appearance, and apologized to Han Chong with some guilt.

"Hehe, it's none of your business, it's okay, let's go......"

Han Chong smiled and hugged Bi Yue, put his right hand on her soft waist, and walked out of the museum with Bi Yue.

"By the way, Bi Yue, are there any antique shops in Paris? Something that specializes in old stuff? ”

After walking out of the museum, Han Chong's heart moved, since the aura in his eyes could distinguish foreign artworks, why couldn't he pick up leaks in foreign Taobao?

As long as it is a cultural relic, there are always some pearls covered with dust, and maybe some treasures will be left in the people.

"Antique shop? I really don't know, let me think about ......"

Bi Yue hadn't paid attention to these things before, and after hearing Han Chong's words, she thought for a while and suddenly said, "I remember, there seems to be a street in the sixth district, and all the strange things are sold in it, why don't we go and have a look?" ”

After Bi Yue finished speaking, he then said: "But Han Chong, I'm not sure it's an antique store......

Han Chong knew that he was not in a very good mood today, which affected Bi Yue, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he took Bi Yue's hand and said, "It's okay, let's go and have a look, anyway, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower have been there, so let's go shopping......

The 6th arrondissement of Paris, also known as the "Luxembourg district", is located on the south bank of the Seine-Marne River, and is home to many shops, cinemas, theaters, and the vast Jardin du Luxembourg.

Like the French Academy, the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Dentistry, the Mineral Faculty and many primary and secondary schools, the French House of Lords building is located in the Jardin du Luxembourg, and the atmosphere of culture is extremely strong.

Han Chong and the others are now in the sixteenth district, and it took more than half an hour to take a taxi to find the place Bi Yue said.

According to the English-speaking French driver, this is called Furstemberg Street, which is an extremely quiet street full of Left Bank literary atmosphere, he does not know what it is called antiques, but he knows that there are many historical things there.

Walking hand in hand with Bi Yue in this street where there are obviously not many people, Han Chong felt that although it was not as famous as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Incense Street and other attractions, it had another intellectual and emotional side, exuding a different kind of Parisian romantic style.

On both sides of the street are some shops with classical decoration style, which can be regarded as fulfilling Han Chong's thoughts, and he took Bi Yue's family to shop.

…… Bi Yue took a puppet with a big nose Pinocchio in "Pinocchio", looked at Han Chong, and said unabashedly in his eyes: "Han Chong, this is so cute......"

"Buy!"

Han Chong nodded heavily, he didn't know if he was right or wrong to come here, because after shopping for a long time, most of the objects in these stores were some interesting things, although there were also imitations of Renaissance oil paintings and some works of art, but they obviously did not meet Han Chong's requirements.

After more than an hour of shopping, Han Chong gained nothing, but his hands were full of gadgets purchased by Bi Yue.

"The horse next door, why didn't Hitler's old boy blow up Paris?"

After Han Chong walked out of a shop, he scolded indignantly in his heart, Xiao Riben destroyed China back then, and this fucking Hitler also occupied Paris, why didn't he rob it and burn it all? (To be continued......)
