Chapter 497: Who is chanting softly
Xueluo thinks that Xueluo will keep walking on this road. The Rhône-Alpes region wasn't really a snowfall destination, but there were plenty of surprises along the way. After the snow fell and returned to China, Xueluo often recommended this place to his friends. If Snowfall comes back to France, Snowfall should not miss Annecy in the Alps.
This small French town is also unique. And when Xueluo left this small village, Xueluo felt that Xueluo's trip to France was almost over, and all that was left was the blue castle complex. Let's go. Some people told Xueluo that to fully appreciate the French style, there are only two places to go, one is Paris.
First, although Xueluo has always disagreed with this, the charm is well known to the world, and it is understandable that it is called the back garden of Paris. When I was in Paris 6 years ago, my friend said that if you have time, you might as well go for a walk, and you will see a real tranquility and romance that is different from the fashion and bustle of Paris.
That year, the snow did not fall. After 6 years, the snow finally came, and it was already evening when I arrived at the hotel, and the evening here was almost half past eight. All the castles are closed. Probably the grandest castle in the area, Chambord has stopped hosting here, but Snowfall decided to take a look at the exterior.
The perfectly symmetrical figure is reflected in the river, and the grandeur is breathtaking. When the sun sets, the gold on the walls is truly charming. Seeing a foreigner playing aerial photography on the side, Xueluo stepped forward to ask her if she could take aerial photography here, and she replied: If someone comes to catch the snow and the snow falls, she will run faster. Caused Snow Fall and Dong Qingmei to laugh.
Lan Lan's body goes well with the castle. And just when Xue Luo and Dong Qingmei felt hungry and wanted to find a place to eat, it suddenly dawned on them, it was already more than 9 o'clock. Almost all the restaurants are closed. When I drove to the hotel, I saw the only small shop, so the dinner of Snow Fall and Dong Qingmei was a sandwich for one person. By the way, the store that was still open so late was indeed opened by an Indian.
The next morning, it was raining. It was only a 20-minute drive from the hotel, but it took nearly an hour to find a parking space. The snow falls and forgets that it is a Saturday, the day when the French people go to market. The hustle and bustle of the crowd made Xueluo think that probably all the residents of the city were here.
As for the lavender and sunflowers, which were not seen on the road by Snow Fall and Dong Qingmei, they were finally seen in the market. Lan Lan said that it was too expensive, and decided to go back to China to make up for a bunch of sunflowers for herself. If it weren't for the map, Snow Fall wouldn't have seen that the house was a royal castle. The sentence that you don't know Taishan is generally a description of people like Xueluo.
In addition to the lilies that are full of imperial power, the most talked-about story in this castle is probably the murder of the Duke of Guise. Many of the works of art in the palace are based on this story. You can feel the artist's stance from the picture. The path to modernization in France is not lacking in the destruction of radicals.
These sculptures were originally landscaped in the garden, but unfortunately they were destroyed and recovered from various places, and finally placed indoors for viewing. And the expressions of these stone statues seem to indict those sinful things. If you still have time to visit the main body of the castle, you might as well go to the art gallery next to it to have a look, which has a collection of works by many famous artists. In the end, it is a royal castle.
The last highlight of the trip is it. It's raining outside and it's the end of the trip, and everyone can't actually walk around, plus they have already visited the castle, and they feel like they are almost tired of the castle aesthetics. But Xueluo still wanted to take a look. When I arrived, I happened to meet Jaguar's classic car party, which attracted the attention of the men on this trip.
Jaguar is so cool. If the most spectacular castle is, then the most beautiful is the most beautiful. The left and right wings span the banks of the Zar River, a tributary of the Loire, and are connected by a five-hole covered bridge in the middle. For this reason, it is also known as the "ship moored on the Zar River". After generations of hostesses.
Chenonceau became one of the most elaborate and romantic of all castles. Although it is not as gorgeous and complex as it is magnificent, its delicate tenderness and delicate and beautiful posture, as well as the rich feminine atmosphere it exudes, are not there. The boats on the Tsal River are also a great place to see them, just in time for the weekend.
There are so many tourists that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow falls without any intention of staying in the castle. Probably the fate of Xueluo and Chenonceau has not yet arrived. Since the main body of the castle is full of tourists, Xueluo can only find a small house to show his visit in order to leave a photo. By the way, it's really cold when it rains in France.
Xueluo finally has a chance to put on the windbreaker that Xueluo is carrying. This road leads to the parking lot. It turned out to be the most beautiful photo of Xueluo and Chenonso. Finally, we returned to Paris and had a seafood feast. Unexpectedly, I met the most beautiful sunset in the past few days, after a rainstorm...... Going back to what I said at the beginning, every girl has a French complex.
Xueluo always said that there was no snowfall, but Xueluo still came. Came with a little selfish wish of his own. Before I came, I was worried about whether I would lose my luggage, about the security of southern France, and about the weather on the Côte d'Azur. And now it seems that this journey is very lucky, even if the last day ends in the rainstorm, there is no slot at all.
If there is, it is probably because the snow fell twice and the wrong time of the hotel caused the friends to lose money. I would like to thank Lan Lan, who has accompanied Xueluo through so many strange roads, and Jamie children's shoes who have taken so many beautiful pictures of Xueluo and Dong Qingmei along the way. There are a lot of pictures in the travelogue, and I would like to thank Nick for the children's shoes for Xueluo and Dongqingmei as drivers.
Without your willful joining, probably the trip of driving in France has become a female driver's crazy ride again. See you next time. Probably the things you want to know1. The route snow fall is relatively rough, and there is no particularly fine planning, and the so-called route is almost temporarily prepared before the snow falls, so everyone can just take a look.
The Sixt car booked on the rental car platform was a car for four people, so I picked a travel version of the Audi A4 model, but later upgraded to a Volvo V60 for free, and the luggage of four people can barely be stuffed into it is quite good. Although the car rental business in France is very developed, there are a few points to remind everyone.
Car rental essentials: original driver's license + driver's license global + passport + order + credit card. Remember to print it out after placing your order online, although France is quite developed, but print it just in case. Pick up your rental car: Check with your rental company. The airport in Nice is not big, and it takes about seven or eight minutes to walk from the airport to the parking lot.
The counters of the car rental companies seem to be in the same building, and Sixt is a relatively large car rental company, which is easy to find. However, when I returned the car, I went around the Paris airport to find the return point. When picking up the car, Xueluo specially told the waiter that Xueluo and Dongqingmei's boxes were a bit big, and she was worried that the A4 Travel Edition would not be able to stuff Xueluo and Dongqingmei's luggage.
Then the little brother actually gave Xueluo a free upgrade.,I strongly recommend that you can try to sell a cute.。 Insurance: Be sure to take out all risks. The French drive is actually quite rough, and the car is parked well in the snow, and there will be three more potholes in the body. Road conditions: Navigation uses Google Maps + car rental platform to provide free GPS Chinese navigation.
Double insurance guarantees that nothing can go wrong. Parking in several big cities in France is a headache, especially and, of course, Monaco is also, if you only play the city is recommended public transportation, if you drive the hotel is recommended to be in the suburbs, otherwise the traffic situation in the city in the morning will not be much better than the north-south elevated highway in the capital. So whether it's self-driving or public transport.
It's all up to you. 3。 In fact, it doesn't matter how the hotel stays, so the booking is quite casual, but there are often surprises at will. Share the hotel for your reference. Located on the seaside of Nice, five minutes drive from the marina. The sea view is not to mention, the main thing. Good parking. By the way, there are a lot of seabirds.
Sometimes it will rob you of your breakfast. Located in the city of Nice, 10 minutes walk from the train station, everything is fine, except that parking is a little difficult, you can park around the hotel at night, but you have to move it in the morning, otherwise there may be a ticket. This is the only B&B on Airbnb on this trip, because the availability is too tight.
Airbnb is located in the suburbs, a whole house is very comfortable, but if you want to pursue the quality of hotel service, then it should not be your cup of tea, this is Paris? because this belongs to the suburbs, when you arrive in Little Paris, you will no longer have such doubts? You will slowly feel its romantic freedom and enthusiasm.
These two nights of snow fall and winter sunshine are not far from the Arc de Triomphe Star Hyatt, every room can be seen, the location is also great, downstairs is the shopping mall and supermarket and the subway entrance, the room is not big but relatively new, the hardware is also good, the service is simply six stars. Early check-in at 10 a.m. for Snow Fall and Winter Sunny Beauty.
Paris Restaurant Sylvestre went out of the hotel for lunch and found that there was a Leon diagonally opposite the hotel. This mussel is very famous, and it has a chain store in Paris, which does not open until 12 noon. (Most restaurants in Paris open at 12 noon, and some don't open until 7 p.m.)
After eating, slowly walk through the famous Champs-Elysées Paris Restaurant Sylvestre far away to see the Arc de Triomphe standing in front, one of the attractions must be checked in, the Arc de Triomphe can buy a ticket to go up (here to say, to Europe must be under a Googlemap, enter the Chinese name is also possible, in that map is not used).
Before the departure of the Arc de Triomphe, I booked a group of follow-up photos with my friends, and after the Arc de Triomphe checked in, I took the subway to take pictures around, of course, the photos have not been obtained yet. The subway in Paris is very developed, there are subway stations everywhere, and the attractions in the downtown area of Paris are not very far apart.
It's not very cost-effective to buy a day or three days, Xueluo and Dongqingmei are to buy ten at a time, so it will be cheaper than buying a single one, and you can also use it by bus. It is also important to note that the French people are very friendly and welcoming, but there are still many foreign and enthusiastic thieves and liars in France.
They will pretend to be passengers, or they will be eager to buy a subway ticket for you on the machine, or they will ask you for an autograph. In a word, be optimistic about your bag and your money. The dinner photographer recommended a century-old shop to Xueluo and Dong Qingmei, and the bookkeeping still maintains the tradition of counting on the tablecloth. The price is quite cheap in Paris.
There will be long queues every night. It's just that the steak snow is implemented in the powerlessness, and the forgiveness snow is implemented in the bloody beef that can't chew its qualifications. It is worth mentioning that the picture of this waiter looked at Xueluo's mobile phone when Xueluo was playing with his mobile phone, Xueluo thought it was a joke, and when Xueluo's little friend played with his mobile phone again, he turned off his little friend's mobile phone in a humorous way.
It turned out that he was just reminding Xueluo and Dong Qingmei to concentrate on eating. For more than ten days in France, there was really no one to play with their mobile phones while eating, they were all talking to each other and eating all the food. It's rude to have leftover food in France, but many of their restaurants have a lot of food that you can't eat until you vomit.
Paris Restaurant Sylvestre returns to the hotel in the evening when the snow falls and the winter weather is beautiful to see the night view. It is not dark in Paris in the summer of the scoundrels, but at eleven o'clock in the evening. It's not dark yet. The jet lag has not yet completely fallen and the snow falls and the winter is beautiful, so I can only give up. Paris RestaurantSylvestre 6. 8 is located on the outskirts of Paris.
You need to go to garedelyon and take the train R to the fontainbuleavon station. Subway tickets are not used, 15 laps of daily tickets can be used or directly at the subway station to buy a ticket to Fontainebleau, Xueluo and Dongqingmei choose the latter, round trip seems to be about 17 euros per person. It's easier to take a train in France than to take a metro in the snowfall and winter weather.
Check the vehicle information by yourself and punch in at the small machine in front of the train. Please be sure to check in. No one cares about you, but there may be a ticket check on the train, and if you don't punch in, you will be heavily fined. There were very few people on this informant, and it took forty minutes to arrive. Here's another little story: Xueluo and Dong Qingmei first thought that Line R belonged to the subway.
I took the subway to the Gare de Lyon, and I searched and searched for it below, and finally got lost. I happened to ask an enthusiastic old man, do you know how enthusiastic he is. He can't speak English and Xueluo and Dongqingmei can't speak clearly, so he just swipes his cassette to send Xueluo and Dongqingmei in, and he feels annoyed that he can't speak English, and he gently slapped his face so cute.
After making sure that Xueluo and Dongqingmei could find it, he gestured and told Xueluo and Dongqingmei that the bus would leave in four minutes. Out of the train station, next to the information desk, you can take bus 1 to the door of Fontainebleau. But Xueluo and Dongqingmei chose to walk according to Google Maps, which takes about 30 minutes.
The walk will pass through a quiet town, and it feels like it is full of old people who have come to retire and will smile at you when you walk by. Every small town in France has its charm. Each cottage has its own small garden in front of it, and all kinds of roses make the snow fall, and the little friends who like flowers next to them shout "Wow" along the way. “10
