Chapter 357: The lights are like beans

Catherine has always used the word to describe Diana, the love of her husband henry's life, and she once explained: "What woman in the world who loves her husband so much would love a bitch in the house and in Wudi? Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

C. Catherine's marriage to henry was a tragic "threesome" from the start. The relationship between henry and Diana can be called the French version of "Ming Xianzong and Wan Zhen'er". Henry was the second son of the famous monarch François I, when he was a 7-year-old boy.

His father, François I, fought with the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VleSage for control of Italy and launched the Pavia War, only to be defeated and captured by Charles VleSage. In exchange for the captured king, Henry and his brother François could only be sent to Spain as protons.

Before leaving, Diana, the beautiful governess, gave henry one last goodbye kiss, a kiss that he will never forget. Throughout his life, he loved this woman who was 20 years older than him. D. In 13 years, 14-year-old henry had just reached adulthood, and under his father's arrangement, he married Catherine DEMedici from a famous Italian family.

The young couple were the same age, but the little prince only saw Diana, a 34-year-old new widow, and he didn't care about the age gap between the two, and he didn't care about Diana's experience as the mistress of his father, François I. Obviously, Henry and Catherine's married life was not happy, and the teenage princess silently endured her husband's infatuation with the "old woman".

At the same time, Diana enters and exits the palace in a high-profile manner, treating Catherine with a kind of charity. After ten years of marriage, rumors began to circulate in France that Henry and Catherine would divorce one day. Once again, Diana offered Catherine her generosity, gently persuading Henry to "leave her bed once in a while".

Go and "make" some legitimate offspring with the queen to fulfill the king's obligations. Since then, Catherine has had nine children (another one) in one go, presumably as a protest against Diana. E. The history of Chenonceau was thus written by one hostess after another.

Today, it is impossible to remember that François I lived here, and that Louis XIV personally presented his portrait to the castle, where the kings were but supporting characters, and where Chenonceau was a single leaf, every piece of masonry seemed to proclaim that glory belonged to the woman. F. The women's war is ultimately won and lost by time.

In '19, after henry's death, Catherine immediately kicked Diana out of Chennonsoburg and moved in on her own. However, leaving does not erase Diana's mark on the castle, in fact it is she who made Chenonceau the person it is today. In 1547, when Diana received the Chénoon Sorceaux from henry.

The castle was built by the first hostess, the Marquise de Beaure, and only had the main tower. Diana completed the covered bridge across the River Shear, making Chenonceau the only castle with a bridge. She also set up a formal garden, planted orchards and vineyards on the farm next to the castle, planted fruit trees, and raised livestock.

Whether it was her king's lover or the villagers in the neighborhood, they were able to drink Chenonceau's own wine. This woman, whose skin was as white as milk, who was 60 years old at the time of Henry's death but was still in her early 30s, created the legend of Chenonceau with her intelligent mind and charming figure.

Château de Chenonceau (3), Castle Chenonceau Outer Introduction: A. This "Château de l'Écou" straddles the LeCher River, a tributary of the Loire River, and is known as the "castle that floats on the air and water", and is known as the most romantic castle in Loire. Compared to the rugged majesty of Chambord, it is particularly refined.

Its architecture is inspired by the extravagant elegance of the Renaissance. Passing through the boulevard and magnificent gardens, you can see a castle from a fairy tale sitting at the end of the road, while the back is built by the water, reflecting the island in the middle of the lake. B. The entrance to the castle is a neat row of trees, and two sphinxes stand guard in front of the garden.

This large garden was built by Diana, and on the other side is the wax museum MUSSEDECIRES, which displays wax figures of the history of the Château de Chenonceau. Chenonceau Castle (4), Chenonceau Castle Garden Introduction: A, this is Diana Garden, after Diana took over the castle, not only built a covered bridge across the river.

The first formal garden in Chenonceau was also designed. It is built along the river, with raised platforms and fences on the side of the river, which protect the garden from the high tide of the Sher River. B. Compared with Catherine's garden on the other side of the castle, Diana's garden is much larger, it is a typical French garden, the grass and trees are neatly trimmed, and the garden is divided into many uniform geometric shapes.

There is no natural wilderness, but it also looks delicate and perfect, which is the French aesthetic, and it was considered one of the most artistic gardens at the time. Xueluo once read an article written by an architect about the garden culture of the East and the West, and he said that the Oriental people die like life, hoping to bring their way of life to the underworld, while the Westerners die like heaven.

Their gardens often take on the appearance of paradise in their own imagination. Well, this is the paradise of the French aristocracy in the Middle Ages. Château de Chenonceau (5), Butler's Cottage in the Garden: A, One end of Diana's Garden is the Butler's Cottage. When Catherine became the owner of the castle, her butlers and some of her high-ranking servants lived here.

The living conditions are too good, and the housekeepers are much better than Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's home residence today. The butler's cottage fulfills all the fantasies of a fairy tale cottage in Snow Fall's mind. Triangular roofs, boxy brick walls covered with vines, red doors and windows with white sheer curtains, and chimneys with occasional smoke.

Château de Chenonceau B, to this day, there are still two gardeners who carefully tidy up the garden and the conservatory, and they provide fresh flower arrangements to the various rooms of the castle every day, decorate these beautiful halls, and make the whole castle look alive to this day. Description of Château de Chenonceau (6) and Château de Chenonceau Gardens.

The gray castle straddles the Sher River, emitting a mysterious silver-gray glow. It seems to silently tell the romance of love and hatred between this castle and the six hostesses. Amboise 2, Loire Valley 7th stop: Amboise Town. (1) Scenery along the way: A. The car has just driven to the territory of Amboise.

The line of sight crossed the Loire and landed on the opposite bank of the Royal Château d'Amboise. The castle and stone bridge are set against each other, a typical Loire Valley atmosphere. B. Amboise, located on the south shore of the Loire Valley, is an elegant and beautiful town. François I and his heirs spent their childhood here, and here they were the masters of the Renaissance.

The place where Finch was finally laid to rest. Countless visitors come here every year to pay their respects to his tombstone and the home where he spent the last three years of his life. Amboise (2), the town of Amboise Description: A, warm lights, sparkling on both sides of the Loire, the town of Amboise is like a fairytale dream, making people wonder if they are in a dream.

If it's a dream, Snowfall hopes never to wake up. I don't know when I will see you again, Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu are greedily holding up their cameras, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the evening breeze is blowing. As far as the eye can see, in addition to the nearby church towers, the rest are small town dwellings with different heights, consistent colors, similar styles and different shapes.

There are lush trees in between. In the evening light, dark clouds shrouded the Amboise bridge and the Loire glowed with a silvery-grey light. On the other side of the river are beautiful old houses, wild ducks swim in the river, and the thick color blocks between heaven and earth are like an impressionist oil painting, which is intoxicating unconsciously. Walking alone on the bridge, breathing in the breeze blowing on the river.

But the eyes were busy being overwhelmed by the view. Balzac's Lilies in the Valley wrote: "In this fantastic land, with every step you move, you will find a new picture unfolding before you." The frame is a river or a calm pond with castles, towers, parks and fountains reflected.

It really depicts the charm of Loire Valley very accurately. Amboise B, a city, if there is no river to accompany her, then, she will be like a woman without the nourishment of love, easy to wither. Without the Loire River, which has flowed quietly for thousands of years, how can the small towns along the coast be beautiful and outstanding.

Historic street lamps stretch from the street across the bridge, and slender and tall poles embody the town's character: classic and simple. The swirling lines at the end of the pole are as graceful as the whirlpools of the Loire and as agile as the tentacles of a morning glory. When night falls, the street lights are lit up one after another, and this elegant long bridge must be a thousand styles under the interplay of water and light and shadow.

Amboise C. sits on the terrace of the Hôtel de Schoiseul, but you can imagine that it will be jubilant at night when the lights are flickering. The straight and long alleys do not have the mottled sadness of Lijiang Rain Lane, nor the depths of the alleys, but only the swaying greenery at the end of the alley and the sunlight perched on the wall.

It is the slow life of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, so that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu face the sunlight spilled over the towering castle, along the slope at the foot of the city wall, slowly walk to the unknown corner of the high wall, which has a dramatic feeling. On the way, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu don't need Kerouac's madness and indulgence.

On the road, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu do not need the loss and panic of the old wolf, and on the road, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu only need the warmth of life and the call of the distant mountains.

It was the dream space constructed by the great "Traveler" Leonardo da Vinci, the last days of the "Traveler" Leonardo da Vinci. In 1516, Leonardo da Vinci received an invitation from the King of France. Now, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu don't know how sincere this invitation is.

But then, at the age of 64, Leonardo da Vinci, accompanied by his beloved disciple and faithful servant Battista de Villani, rode a mule over the Alps and made the long journey to France. The invitation was sent by François I, who had only been on the throne for only a year, and the young king had loved art since childhood, and was energetic and ambitious.

Determined to let France also bathe in the glory of the Renaissance, he invited his idol Leonardo da Vinci to France and placed him in the Château de Clorus, where he lived in his childhood. B. François I treated the Italian with the utmost courtesy, appointing him "chief painter, architect to the king, engineer".

And gave him the same salary as the prince, 700 eju a year, and funded him to complete the work. In return, all François wanted was to be able to listen to the master every day and enjoy talking to his idols. Did the 22-year-old young king and the master Leonardo da Vinci ever talk about a long-lasting "year-old love"?

Apparently, the gossip of the French thinks there is. Otherwise, what drove Leonardo da Vinci to come to a foreign country with great difficulty, bring three of his favorite works (including the Mona Lisa), and finally make the foreign country his home?

C. It can be seen everywhere in the castle of Clorus. The Château de Château de Château de Château de l'Amboise (Château de l'Amboise) where King François I lived all the year round is only a 10-minute walk away, and Leonardo da Vinci could have overlooked the Château de l'Amboise from his bedroom window.

He also painted the scenery in front of him. Underneath the castle, there is a tunnel that leads to the Château d'Amboise. The king and the master often set out from their respective residences and then met in the middle of the tunnel - this kind of "rendezvous" place is quite innovative. The King and his sister Margaret were hospitable and attentive.

It did allow Leonardo da Vinci to spend the last three years of his life very happily. He was able to work passionately and tirelessly, not only as a painter, but also as an engineer, architect and art curator. He drew the castle drawings of the city of Romorantin as a model for François I, and also planned to connect the Loire Valley with the Lyon valley with canals.

Legend has it that the double spiral staircase of Chambord was also designed by him. Château de Château de Château de l'Croix (3) Description: A. The garden of the castle, now known as the "Park of Leonardo da Vinci", is one of the most fantastic French gardens that Snow Fall has ever seen. It is full of natural beauty, with a perfect combination of plants, lakes, bridges, small sets.
