The Patheon, the only Roman Empire building that has been preserved to this day, was built in 27-25 BC and was used to worship the gods on Mount Olympia. {Chinese.

｝The main building of the Pantheon seen today was built by Emperor Adriano the Great in 120-124 AD, and it still worships all the gods of Rome.

In 609 AD, the Pantheon was given to the Pope and was immediately changed to a Catholic church, and many sacred bodies were preserved inside. The internal proportions of the temple were coordinated, with a diameter and height equal to about 43 meters. The base of the large dome was built from half of the total height, and the circular curve of the temple roof continued to extend downward, forming a complete sphere to connect with the ground.

The Pantheon is buried with great artists, the most important of which is Raphael; many Italian kings were buried here after their deaths. The last attraction is the slightly distanced mouth of truth (Poadellave) which is located in the courtyard of the Santama Ainsmedian.

In fact, it is just a manhole cover from the ancient Roman era. By the work of "Roman Holiday", it turned into a "lie detector". It is said that if you put your hands in its mouth, you can't pull it out if you lie. We are not afraid. This honeymoon trip is not Italy. The trip to Rome has ended in a hurry. Yunluo and An will fly to South France when they meet.

Italy has a long history and unique culture. Let’s visit and experience it slowly next time.

Take the Alitalian Airlines plane to the French harbour city of Marseille. Take a bus from Marseille Airport to Marseille Railway Station to store luggage. The train station is located on a small hill. It is very hard to catch the train by passengers carrying heavy luggage. Walking and then transferring to the bus to the guardian temple of the Virgin Marseille (Ba Liquenotredame delagarde) located at the commanding heights of Marseille.

In fact, before arriving in Marseille, I didn’t have much interest in Marseille, so I knew there was a harbor and an Ivesburg. Because I thought Ivesburg was an island prison, I had a bit of trouble and gave up, so I just wanted to stay in Marseille for half a day. It was also considered a trip. But unexpectedly, looking down at Marseille from the top of the mountain, the beauty of the scenery came out of the clouds.

The Temple of Our Lady is built on the site of a small 13th-century church. There is also a 16th-century fortress on the mountain. The temple bell tower is 60 meters high. On the top is a huge statue of Our Lady. This glittering statue of Our Lady can be seen almost at any angle in Marseille and on the sea several miles away.

The church was built for five years and cost 170,000 tons of materials, including marble and porphyry from Italy, with the interior decorated with marble, mosaics and frescoes. Many walls were hung with paintings, model ships, war medals, and even jerseys of football club players in Marseille. Jesus blessed the harbour and all those who went out to sea.

The island on the sea is very close to the land. The wide view makes people feel comfortable. Take the No.60 bus back to the old port of Marseille. The old port is located in the center of Marseille. It is said to be the "old port", but in fact, its dock facilities were mostly rebuilt on the ruins after World War II. The reason why local people call it the "old port".

Perhaps it comes more from a feeling for this place where generations live. The train routes range from the old port to the guardian of the Temple of Our Lady. This kind of sightseeing tool is very popular in many European cities. The old man looked at the cool vehicle and took the old lady for a ride. An Chu was envious and found a restaurant located in the port.

Taste the famous Marseille fish soup. The poster is like this: In fact, there are all ingredients on it except Haihong, but they are all integrated into the soup. The taste is quite good, but the appearance is a little different. Yunluo ordered a seafood platter, which looks much better. The food is very large and it is quite full when you eat it.

After dinner, I took photos and strolled back to the train station. At around 6 pm, I bid farewell to Marseille and took the TGV train to Avignon to station. On July 16th, I planned to go to the famous town of Avignon in southern France. Because it was the time of the Avignon Art Festival, the prices of hotels in the center of the town soared, and cheap hotels were also sold out early.

I had no choice but to stay in Kyriadonurtinegaretgv near Avignon TGV Station. This hotel is about 1 kilometer from TGV Station, and there are also direct buses to the town center. The only inconvenient thing is that there are no restaurants around, and the nearby Carrefour also gets off work early, so who made this the suburbs of the city?

Take a bus to the town early in the morning. About half an hour later, the bus arrives at Avignon Railway Station. Opposite the station is the Avignon City Wall. The Avignon Art Festival was founded in 1947 and is held in July and August every year. It is one of the longest-standing and most influential art festivals in France. At this time, artists from all over the world performed operas in this ancient European city.

Stage plays show their artistic talents. On sunny days, drama breaks free from the shackles of the stage and becomes a real "citizen drama" on the streets and squares. The entire town is occupied by various colorful posters, making it very lively. Unfortunately, most of the posters are in French, and Yunluo and An Chuyu can only look at the paintings.

Avignon Theatre. During the Art Festival, there are many dramas performed here every night. The streets are full of artists. Because it is still early and there are not many street artists performing, so I go to the Pope Palace first. The Pope Palace is an ancient palace in the center of Avignon and was built in 1334.

It is built on a huge rock in the north of Avignon and is the largest and most important medieval Gothic building in Europe. The Papal Palace is not only the palace of the Pope, but also serves as a military fortress. Avignon is deeply favored by the Pope because of its peaceful and tranquil environment and has become a pope territory. Six pope elections in history were held at the Papal Palace of Avignon.

During the Iron Blood Napoleon era, the Pope Palace was requisitioned by the French team and became a barracks and prison cell. After several regime changes and the baptism of war artillery fire, the Pope Palace was lucky to survive. In 1906, the palace was transformed into a national museum. Now there are more than 20 rooms available for visit.

The Pope Palace came out and walked along the street to the Bridge of Saint-Beneze. The Bridge of Saint-Beneze is a famous medieval bridge, spanning the Rhone River, and plays the role of connecting Avignon to the New Town of Avignon on the left bank. The legendary bridge was a young shepherd named Beneneze who heard the instructions of the holy voice and spent eight years building it through the guidance of an angel.

The original bridge was about 900 meters long. After the huge flood in 1668, most of the bridge was destroyed. Only 4 of the original 22 bridge arches have been preserved and become today's "broken bridge". Below, please enjoy the performance of street artists. The difficulty is average, but the performers have rich expressions and are extremely dedicated.

Street sketches seem to be about watching sports competitions. I can’t understand French. This one has a mystery. The person below raises the bamboo tube with one hand, and the person above relies on the bamboo tube with one hand to support it. There must be something hidden to support it, otherwise it would be impossible to hold on for dozens of minutes without moving. That is really a martial arts master.

No matter what, it’s still hard to understand when eating ice cream, and then watching it. The dance and song are simple and clear. Bubble is always the favorite of children. Incitement and humor are the necessary conditions to win the audience. Of course, luxury cars are also full of temptation. But, food is the most attractive to An Chuyu~ because you have to rush back to a hotel in the remote suburbs.

In order to avoid missing the bus, I retreated from the town before the night came. Although there was no stunning performance, national art may be the true meaning of the art festival, and happiness and laughter are enough!

The most anticipated day of the trip to South France is because today we will be chartering a car to visit lavender and sunflowers, which is the main reason that attracts Yunluo and An Chuyu to come to South France. After breakfast, the chartered driver was already waiting in the hotel, and there was another couple who were sharing the car. Along the way, the driver introduced today's approximate itinerary and the scenery to be seen.

It turns out that he is a Chinese student. He lives in Paris and Lyon on weekdays. Every summer, because many Chinese tourists chartered buses, he will earn some extra money in South France in July and August. The price of a 7-seat chartered car is 400 euros per day. He drives a car every day between the beautiful scenery and earns a lot of money. This job is something Yunluo likes.

It’s useless to say more, so I’ll talk with beautiful pictures. This is the first sunflower field I saw that day. I’ve never seen such a large area of ​​sunflowers before. It’s so golden that it makes people very excited. But when I got off the car and went deep into the field, I found that the sunflower plates were smaller than those I saw before, and their heads were hung down under the sun.

It seems that sunflowers do not like the scorching sun, and they will wilt when the sun is too hot. The driver said that there was a better piece in front, so he left and quickly entered the lavender field area. There were large areas of lavender on both sides of the road. But the driver said that it was a bit late for Valenzo at this time, and a lot of lavender had been harvested.

Only the remaining roots after harvest were left; some were opened, and the lavender appeared purple-black, without the seductive purple color that I longed for. After driving for a long time, I finally chose a grass field that looked pretty good. As soon as the car stopped, Yun Luo and An Chu met like birds in a cage being released, quickly jumped into the grass field and began to "kick".

Get in the car and go forward, change to another flower field and continue to create. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a large purple lavender field. It is so beautiful! I have had enough fun and photographed, and set off for the sunflower field in front. The flower plate here is indeed fuller than the one in front, and the "waist" is straighter. According to the plan, I arrived at the ceramic town at noon.

The town is built on a cliff, not large in size, but very delicate. The small market at the entrance of the village, a very delicious cottage, beautiful flowers everywhere, and a dog sleeping soundly, looking for a restaurant in the town for lunch with his toy in his mouth. The taste is pretty good. After lunch, go to another beautiful scenery, Holy Cross Lake.

When you first see the Holy Cross Lake on the mountain road, you are already attracted by its clear lake water. It is located at the entrance of the Grand Canyon of Verdun. The Holy Cross River Dam, built in 1974, blocks the river water in the valley and forms the second largest reservoir in France. Every summer, many people come here to climb, swim and row.

The surrounding beaches were also developed as natural bathing sites. I rented a pedal boat and rowed deep into Verdun Canyon. Below was the mount Yun Luo and An Chu met. The narrow canyon was full of kayaks, pedal boats, and electric boats. Some people jumped directly into the lake to swim, and some even climbed onto the cliff to perform high cliff diving.

The man jumped into the lake to swim, but couldn't get on the boat anymore, so he could only be dragged away at the stern of the boat, which was a bit awkward. The canyon, lake water, and the wind blowing from time to time, it was also very pleasant to take photos of An Chuyu. The photographer waved to everyone~After the tour of the lake, he went to the lakeside town lessalles-sur-verdon to station, and the hotel was aubergedessalles.

The town is close to the lake, very quiet, with flowers everywhere. Before it gets dark, go to the lake to swim and feel the coldness of the lake. Soak in the lake, the sun shines on your face. Look at the green mountains and clear waters and enjoy the physical and mental pleasure brought by nature. I hope that one day, I can take my whole family to spend a vacation in this town, rent a boat, and float on the lake.

When it’s hot, jump into the water and swim around. When it’s hungry, you’ll have a picnic by the lake. That must be a wonderful experience. Wow! There are beautiful girls on the shore! Go back to your room, eat something on the balcony, and watch the sunset. There are so many beautiful scenery on this day. It’s a bit dazzling. Provence is an unforgettable place.

After breakfast in the morning, the car had not arrived yet, so I wandered around lessalles-sur-verdon. This is the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed. The lounge chair in the open space behind the hotel. The calm lake in the early morning. At around ten o'clock, the car finally arrived. The driver changed to a French local, who was said to be able to speak simple Chinese, but Yunluo thought he could only "Hello, it's Xiaobai!"

Why did a French man named "Xiaobai" have three French towns today. The first one to arrive is aiguines, a town located in the middle of the mountain, so it is also called a half-mountain town. Because it was Saturday that day. Many shops in the town closed down, and it is not a place for tourists to be enthusiastic about, so there are almost no people on the street.

The town is very quiet. The scenery on the mountain is very nice, overlooking the entire Saint Cross Lake. There is a circus in the open space above the town, with many small animals. The second stop is bauduen Bodion. This is a small town in Provence with a population of less than 400. There are no tourists in a crowd, but the scenery is beautiful. At noon, I had a meal at a restaurant by the lake.

While savoring the food, you can appreciate the beauty of the small town by the lake. There are many such trees in the town. Yunluo thinks it is a chestnut tree, but the locals say it is not. Who can tell Yunluo what this is? Anyay, learn a word called hestnut. At noon, people from the town also came under the trees to start lunch.

Having lunch with friends and chatting and joking may be a way for the town to celebrate the weekend. After lunch, after an hour’s drive, we came to the town of Stpaul-de-vene, St. Paul de Vence, which is known as the most famous art town in the world. More than 70 studios and art galleries are opened in this town with a population of less than 1,000.

Studio. Once, Picasso visited here frequently, and Matisse lived here for five years. Sao Paulo de Vance was invaded twice during the 16th century war with Italy, in order to improve its defense capabilities, so the walls and solid gates were built between 1543 and 1547. Now, the town still retains the medieval walls.

There is a beautiful cemetery deep in the Vatican town where you can see the beautiful mountain scenery. No wonder many famous painters and music composers finally chose this place as their last destination. The Vatican walks through the town paths and shows the exquisiteness of the town everywhere, from color matching to pattern embellishment, from decoration to design.

After the trip to Monaco town ends, another highlight of Southern France is coming, that is the Costa ça. Nice chose a lodging location in Roithavue. Originally, I was interested in its location, close to the old town and very close to the beautiful Angel Bay. But after arriving, I found that this was actually the house of a bakery owner.

The service and supporting facilities were a little disappointed. At 6 pm, it was still very bright, so I decided to go out for a walk. Monaco Monaco This is Angel Bay, named after its shape resembles the wings of an angel. The sea water is blue and the sea and sky are connected, refreshing. Climb the Castle Mountain and you can see the panoramic view of the bay from a high place.

Monaco was a little tired today and did not plan to go into the sea to swim, but came to the old city and felt the charm of the old city with the lively crowd. The Vatican ice cream that looks beautiful and delicious should not be missed. I didn’t pay attention when I bought it, but later I found out that this is the number one ice cream shop in Nice, glaierfenohio.

It was founded in 1966 with at least seventy or eighty flavors. Monaco originally planned to stay in Nice for a day and bathe in the sea, but considering that Nice town really didn't need to waste a day, after several discussions in the evening, he finally decided to go to Monaco and Ez the next day. He took advantage of the weak ii signal in the barbecue room below the building and browsed the guide.

Sleeping in the noisy night market atmosphere outside the window. The journey is always full of unintentional beauty. Even if the arrangements are meticulous in advance, there will always be some unexpected surprises inserted into your itinerary, and this time is no exception.

Departing from the hotel and heading to the pier, planning to take the no.100 bus to Monaco. Under the rising sun, the square of the old town has transformed from the hustle and bustle of the night to become a fruit and flower market. There are few people in the British boulevard, and there are only a few people who practice morning exercises. Angel Bay is much quieter, and you can only hear the sound of the sea water hitting the beach.
Chapter completed!
