Section 874 Silence is picturesque
But it means to call it "官网" and it means to put a gild on your face. It is located at a relatively remote corner in Fontainebleau Palace. It is a three or four connected suites, and the light is not very good.
Second, the things displayed here are really not considered rare treasures in the eyes of An Qingju and An Chuyu. This does not mean that the French would not even snatch things, and they did not get real treasures; these things can indeed be regarded as top treasures of the Chinese era - robbers are still aware of the goods.
But what An Chuyu wants to say is that compared with the similar decorations (sculptures, ornaments, utensils, etc.) of the French royal family that An Chuyu saw, these treasures are not only not "higher" in terms of creativity, artistic expression and craftsmanship technology, but are even a bit reluctant to say that they are "equal".
The European continent and France in this era have long entered a rapidly developing industrial era. People's artistic expression level and craftsmanship and technical ability have developed greatly, and painting, sculpture, and various decorative arts have reached a peak.
More importantly, the development of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries was not only reflected in art, but also in science, technology, literature, philosophy, humanistic thought and other aspects.
The results of these developments reflect the manufacturing of these decorative arts, which reflect a high degree of precision, amazing design presentation, and the ability to integrate art and practicality. In contrast, the Chinese artworks of this period are still as they see An Qingju and An Chuyu now, as if unearthed cultural relics, exuding a pedantic atmosphere of dusk.
How do you define them as "treasures"? For example, An Qingju and An Chuyu now use the tableware used for meals are fine porcelain tableware made by industrial products. They don't think they are high-end every day, nor do they think they are treasures. The first time I went to a country in Asia, Africa and Latin America, I knew that they were not developed, but they had their own "civilization" and "culture" before. But I always had prejudices in my heart.
When I really got there, I found that the tableware used by rich people for meals was not leaves and bark, but wood, metal, or even ivory carved tableware. I couldn't help but be amazed. I took it home to introduce it to my friends, so I naturally called it a "treasure". But does this "treasure" really reflect the progress of the other party's civilization? An Chuyu may not be.
Now An Qingju and An Chuyu are still tirelessly advocating these so-called great Chinese art treasures. It is also good to remember the past. But constantly seeking innovation is the right way.
It is not that you fall behind if you are snatched up, but that you have the chance to be snatched up when you are lagging behind. What is more annoying is that textbooks of all sizes always teach children not to forget the history of being snatched, as if they are lying behind their ears and quietly guiding their children to grow up and then snatch them back.
These are all An Qingju's words, so don't take it too seriously.
It is indeed refreshing to walk out from the somewhat dim Chinese Pavilion to the garden outside the Fontainebleau Palace. French gardens are really not a fan of, and many trees need to be repaired to look the same.
Whether it is tall or fresh, solemn and magnificent or romantic and charming, the skillful gardener can offer you it. And just pm2.5 is the perfect weather close to zero. Visitors are strolling directly into the magnificent French romantic landscape paintings.
After a walk around, it was already noon, and my stomach sang the plan of the city again. I drove by a Chinese restaurant while driving around Fontainebleau. At that time, I was already thinking about it. I wanted to quickly restock my Chinese food before entering Burgundy. So after An Qingju and An Chu met, they drove over.
But when I pushed the door, I was shocked. It was a crowd of people. It turned out that a group of more than 50 people was queuing up to go to the bathroom after just finished their meals. It was a mess.
Everyone spoke loudly with an octave voice, "If you buy a famous watch, you must separate the watch box and watch to escape customs inspection", "Don't consider watches below 10,000 euros, it's not worth it", "LV passport purchase is limited to one person who doesn't buy An Chuhui, and you can use the quota in staggered use".
The quietest part in the crowd was the boss's wife. It was not until the more than 50 people lined up to go to the toilet and told the boss that "the toilet was blocked and it was not An Chuyu did." There was time to greet An Qingju and An Chuyu. July and August were the French holiday month, and the workers were on vacation. In order to entertain these tourists, the boss's wife asked her daughter to come out to help.
I don’t remember what I ate, but it’s just some simple fried noodles. I thought while eating. No matter what, don’t play with the group. Can you see such a leisurely scenery?
Leaving Fontainebleau, An Qingju and An Chuma set out for Troyes. Learned from the lesson. This time, they took a road that was not a highway. The road conditions were much worse, and it felt completely different from the high-rise highway in front. In the end, they couldn't resist GPS. They still walked back to the highway. Because they had only gone around for a while, the toll this time was not that scary, but it was more than 4 euros.
Troyes is a city to rest for An Qingju and An Chuhui. If you directly switch from the Loire Valley to Burgundy, and you also want to see other places (such as Fontainebleau), you will be a little hurry to go directly to Burgundy that day.
An Qingju and An Chuyu chose Troyes, a small town, to stay in. The reason for choosing it is very simple. It happened to be on the way past, quiet and comfortable, and accommodation is not expensive.
The room An Qingju and An Chuyu booked on Booking is just 300 meters outside the old town of Troyes, and it is also a homestay.
An Qingju and An Chuyu arrived here at 6 pm to see how bright it was! When checking in, the family received An Qingju and An Chuyu an old lady in her seventies, and she could hardly speak English.
But if you can jump into one or two English words such as "breakfast", "map", "key", "wifi", and even compare the guesswork, you can understand everything, such as when to have breakfast, how to get to Troyes from here, what to do if you log in to Wifi, where to park for free, how to use the key to the gate door of the courtyard, etc.
The room where An Qingju and An Chuyu live is small, and the bathrooms are all in the same place, but the room is very comfortable. With the afternoon sunshine, An Qingju and An Chuyu actually took a "night sleep". When they woke up at 8 o'clock, the swaying sunlight casts the shadow of mottled green plants on the screen window. It's so comfortable and comfortable.
An Qingju and An Chuyu only met the hostess who really greeted the guests during breakfast the next day. She was probably the only English-speaking person in this family, because An Qingju and An Chuyu asked others about anything, and they could only say sarcastically. However, the decoration of their house is also unforgettable, and the furniture is also antiques.
The old lady likes all kinds of cat accessories and ornaments everywhere. The breakfast was very rich. There was one food that I had never encountered in other places in France. It felt very delicious, so I asked my elder sister who could speak English. It turned out that this was the famous maple syrup (maplesy milk p), which was boiled from a candy maple sap from Canada.
The eldest sister said that the old lady went to her relative's house in Quebec, Canada (also a French-speaking area) two years ago to celebrate her 70th birthday, and she fell in love with this thing, so she asked the store to mail a box to France every two months to share with customers.
"I didn't expect what I tasted in France was a Canadian specialty?" The English-speaking elder sister spoke flirtedly. The taste was really good, more fragrant than honey, and it was great to eat bread!
Seeing that English-speaking elder sister is so good, An Qingju and An Chuyu finally found another nagging partner. The next stop for An Qingju and An Chuyu is the Beaune in Burgundy. An Qingju and An Chuyu can't figure out how to pronounce this beaune and where is the accent?
Is there a pronunciation of "天"? An Qingju wrote down the place name and asked the elder sister. I really suspect that this elder sister might be from a teacher and the explanation is very clear. "The three letters of eau are pronounced /u:/, for example, bleau, and the place name fontainebleau is pronounced /’bu:ne/.” (It is "天" in Chinese). It really saves your life, so you can ask for directions!
An Qingju and An Chuyu also took a quick look at the Old Town of Troyes after checkout the next morning. The old town is very small, but it looks really good, and the building has its own characteristics. Troyes is located on the edge of Champagne Province, and many people start the Champagne Road with this place as the starting point.
Troyes was very quiet in the morning. Only the staff were cleaning up the debris from yesterday's open-air bar on the pedestrian street. They especially liked the way they took photos of passersby from behind. They liked the big rattan basket used by the French sister to buy baguettes in the morning. They can be seen at the French weekend market.
It seems that the 80-year-old old lady is also tremblingly pulling the same "pull-rod shopping cart" as the Chinese aunts who are visiting the morning market to buy things. However, An Qingju prefers the lifestyle of these European aunts. When they are old, they do not live around their children and grandchildren, and they are looking forward to their children and grandchildren living around them; they have their own lives. This is life.
When I was writing my travel notes, I found out that Troyes is the hometown of the crocodile brand. The crocodile brand manufacturer Lacaster, the famous crocodile brand in Guo Degang's crosstalk "Where did you buy this gecko?" The headquarters of Lacaster is in Troyes.
Many people who travel to Troyes do not go shopping for sightseeing, but deliberately go shopping. Troyes, a small city, actually has three super shopping streets, similar to the outlets, all of which are "factory stores" and named "famous brand street".
On weekdays, things are 30% or even more cheaper than Paris, and even many French locals have to come here to go to the market. It is said that shopping groups traveling to France in China have to come here, but everyone thinks they are going to the outlet, but in fact they are Troyes.
When it comes to Burgundy, I guess everyone knows it. Burgundy, a famous French wine production place! Going to Burgundy is to taste wine!
To be honest, An Qingju and An Chuyu really didn't plan to taste wine. When they went to Burgundy, it was a complete accident. The place where An Qingju and An Chuyu were going was a place that appeared in "The Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".
