It was already past eight o'clock when I walked back to the room again. I was surprised to find that the sun was still high and there was no intention of setting mountains at all. ∑This scene ran through the entire trip of An Qingju and An Chuyu in France. Seeing the night became a luxury. An Qingju and An Chuyu had basically never seen the darkness.

Because it was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that the genius gradually became darker, and it was brighter again at 5 o'clock in the morning. It was really confusing, what was wrong with the time zone here?

This brings the same benefit: for self-drivers, they don’t have to worry about driving and walking on the night. The first lesson is so quiet in the countryside, even if the sun is reluctant to set, An Qingju and An Chuyu slept well that night.

The rich breakfast was already waiting for An Qingju and An Chuyu in the yard. An Qingju and An Chuyu noticed that only An Qingju and An Chuyu checked in today. The owner of the house is a talkative middle-aged man who enthusiastically fryed eggs for An Qingju and An Chuyu, and sat down to chat with An Qingju and An Chuyu.

An Qingju and An Chuyu learned that he worked in Paris in his early years and later bought it to settle down. "Many people in Limetz Village actually work in Paris, but live here and take the train to work in the city every day. Life in the countryside makes people feel much more relaxed." This is the homeowner's explanation.

An Qingju finally couldn't help but ask why the village here was so quiet. This made the owner not know how to answer, because "This is France, the villages are so quiet."

When it comes to "window protection", the homeowner said that people in northern France are more conservative, because they have experienced many wars and invasions in history, and it has become a tradition for every household to install window protection. There is a psychological effect of self-safety and protection. "But they can't protect anything in the end." The homeowner's final comment.

An Qingju and An Chuyu introduced their itinerary in France, and mentioned that An Qingju and An Chuyu came here to reconcile their dream of escape from their favorite French movie "Tiger's Mouth" when they were young. But An Qingju and An Chuyu really don't know what to say in French (lagrandevad).

An Qingju then explained that it was "a story of two French people helping three British pilots escape to the south during World War II. Comedy, one of the two French people, an actor named Louis Defenice, plays a conductor." As soon as he said this, the owner immediately knew which movie An Qingju and An Chuyu were talking about.

He said that this movie was indeed very famous in France in the 1960s and 1970s, and some people still like it very much. An Qingju and An Chuyu also talked about a lot of content, such as how to pay for the highway, how to buy tickets on the subway, and how to prevent thieves from stealing in Paris.

The owner of the house really said everything and reassured An Qingju and An Chuyu, saying that except for Paris, you need to pay attention to money and goods (don't seem to be rich everywhere), other places in France are actually very safe. - What he said is completely correct.

A foreshadowing here is that An Qingju and An Chuyun discovered that French place names were crazy. According to the habit of pronunciation in English, we pronounce French place names. No French knows where that is - except for Paris.

While communicating with the owner, An Qingju and An Chuyu mentioned a place to beaune. An Qingju and An Chuyu tried various pronunciations, but the owner was still confused. Its correct pronunciation was not until An Qingju and An Chuyu met Troyes and wrote down the name.

The first lesson of An Qingju and An Chuhui: In France, you should ask for directions. It is best to write down the place name for each other to see, because no one can understand the pronunciation of your English pronunciation.

For example: dijon. It is written as "Dijon" in Chinese, a famous French city, right? Try pronunciation? The French pronunciation is actually similar to "Dijang (Shang)". The later jon pronunciation is between "Rang" and "Shang". It really scratches your head.

In fact, today is the first day of traveling in France. After the advice of the owner of An Qingju and An Chuyu at Limetz B&B, An Qingju and An Chuyu appropriately adjusted their itinerary. Today's accommodation is in Bayeux, and the drive of An Qingju and An Chuyu is about 260 kilometers:

limetz>> Giveny (see Monet Gardens)>> Lesandrely (see some castle ruins)>> Rouen meat en (visiting Joan of Arc's martyrdom)>> Honfleur (seeing fishing villages in northern France)>>> bayeux (seeing Normandy landing beaches and Bayeux tapestries).

The keywords that stayed in An Qingju's heart are: Monet's lotus pond, Joan of Arc, Normandy Landing, and William the Conqueror.

Giverny's Monet Gardens is located on the edge of Normandy, close to the Ile-de-France. This was originally just an ordinary and quiet town, but it became famous because Monet spent his old age here. Of course, even with such a celebrity, the town is still very quiet, except for Monet's former residence.

The door of Monet's former residence opened at 9:30 in the morning. The owner's suggestion must arrive early, otherwise there will be a long queue. This is true. An Qingju and An Chu arrived there at 9:00, and there was already someone waiting at the door. By the time the door opened at 9:30, the team had already been long:

It was agreed that the door would be opened at 9:30, but the tickets would not start until 9:40. Some American tourists were already teasing: When traveling to Europe, Germans have the most accurate concept of time, while French people have about 15 minutes of error. If they arrive in Italy, hey, it would not be surprising to say that the door would be opened at 9:30 before entering at 10:30! I don’t know whether it is true or false, but what I saw today is true.

This is Monet's lotus pond: Everyone should forgive An Chuyu's photo for being so unimpressed. First of all, the shooting time by the water is best in the early morning or evening. The Monet Garden only opens at 9:30 in the morning and closes at 6 o'clock in the evening. In the summer of France, where can I get this good light?

Second, An Qingju and An Chuyu thought they were the first group of people to enter, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered, the small pond was already full of people. It turned out that there was an entrance from the "Givini Impressionist Art Museum". Anyone who bought these two tickets could come in early from that entrance.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning, and everyone had already started queuing up to take photos on the famous wooden bridge. An Qingju and An Chuyu didn't join in the fun. They just pinched a few pictures for the lake water where there was definitely no one standing:

I heard from An Chuhui’s classmate that the exposure time is extended when taking pictures, and when you press the shutter, you can take a "Parkinson" and then take a photo of Monet's Impressionist effect. I tried it twice, but it was not very good. However, in the later stage, it was "fuzzy" in the "light and shadow magician". There is also some meaning:

If this small pond was not for the magical contour, it would be really not charming. "One person can attain enlightenment, and the chicken and dog can ascend to heaven" roughly means this.

After all, I just came to France. Before the two of them had completely switched their heads to the "travel clever" mode, they were still leisurely looking for a place to take selfies. However, they didn't know that the team had already rushed to the real protagonist of the "Monet's former residence": the former residence. When An Qingju and An Chuyu finally reacted and walked towards the former residence, they found that the team's leadership had completely lost interest.

I thought it was the former residence. It was just the owner’s room, living, putting some photos, paintings, or portrait models to explain the living conditions. So I won’t join in the fun.

However, there is still a good garden in Monet’s former residence, where many young people (An Chuyu looks like a volunteer) are carefully maintaining various flowers.

An Qingju and An Chuyu gradually learned about French gardening from here. It seems that France has a lot of "green fingers", and every flower can be matched beautifully. Whether it is color or plant demeanor, it can always reveal a noble and pleasant style.

Of course. Later, after An Qingju and An Chu met to see the gardening of the castles in the Loire Valley, they found that in France, it was nothing to match the flower beds with the same color palette. The noble French gardening was to make all plants of one variety look the same. This is a later story, and I will express it later.

There was no queue to enter Monet's former residence. An Qingju and An Chuyu came out of sortie directly and came to this beautiful souvenir shop:

I have to talk a little more here. After An Qingju and An’s first encounter, all the attractions, gardens, castles, museums, former residences, etc., France (including Belgium) are designed in this way: you can clearly see the visiting route as soon as you enter the door. When you come back after visiting, the exit is always souvenir shops.

Before entering the door, every tourist lacks sensory understanding. Once the visit is completed, he has an additional understanding of the real thing. At this time, he comes to the souvenir shop, which is the place that can resonate with the most emotional resonance.

In addition, every souvenir shop where An Qingju and An Chuhui go is not the same. Each tourist attraction has its own unique design style and souvenirs, which really attracts everyone to linger. Even if you stop and appreciate it, it is worth it to treat this place as part of the visit.

In this souvenir shop in Monet Garden, you can see various souvenirs in the style of Monet Impressionist paintings, such as handbags, mugs, and also sell flower seeds and flower sachets in the yard. It is really lively.

After more than an hour of crowding in Monet's garden, the deepest impression on An Qingju was actually a color, that is, the color of Monet's paintings. No matter which color it was, it naturally formed a harmony with the light in the Normandy sunshine.

This palette color, which is only found in paintings, can be seen everywhere during An Qingju and An’s first trip to France, and was eventually frozen in the Ores Museum and Orangery Museum in Paris.
