翁弗勒尔城

翁弗勒尔位于鲜花海岸的门户地带，鲜花海港、古钟楼区和迷宫般的老城，是诸多印象派画师的笔下盛景、这个古老的千年渔港是理想的度假地。翁弗勒尔既是诺曼底中世纪以来历史悠久的城市和重要的航海港口。从翁弗勒尔可以眺望壮观的诺曼底大桥，漫步于市中心的古色古香街道和小巷，可以体会这座鲜花海岸的海滨城市的精致浪漫和迷人之处。

 

莫奈花园

莫奈花园位于巴黎西北方向88公里，属于上诺曼底省。1883年，莫奈坐火车经过这里时被这里所吸引，于是搬来此居住。43年的时间，莫奈一半的人生在这里度过，创作了无数著作。莫奈自称“花园是我最美的作品”。莫奈走了85年后的今天，这里依旧按照莫奈当年生活的原状维护着。从4月开园时的郁金香，到盛夏最著名的睡莲，10月闭馆前的菊花，你在这里可以找到莫奈画中的色彩。

 

诺曼底大桥

诺曼底大桥长达2公里，横跨入海口附近的塞纳河左右两岸，将勒阿弗尔和翁弗勒尔连接起来。桥身的两个“V”形护栏非常引人瞩目，整个桥就像一件巨大的艺术品。

多维尔 (Deauville)这座在旅游杂志和建筑杂志上反复出现的城市，拥有至今保留最完整的诺曼-盎格鲁建筑群，多维尔沿岸地区，处处可见老式的诺曼底样式、木质骨架结构的宅邸，是个热门的夏季高级度假胜地。

 

特鲁维尔

坐落在图克河入海口的诺曼底小镇特鲁维尔，毗邻多维尔Deauville，但是两座城市的风格不尽相同。多维尔是大师手笔名流云集，显得宫廷贵气，而特鲁维尔的优雅、海滨景致，童话般的彩色城堡。两城共同构成了诺曼-盎格鲁建筑群保护区。

Elephant Trunk Hill is a famous tourist attraction in the town along the English Channel in Normandy. It is also a symbol of Normandy, France. It is especially favored by poets and painters. The writer Maupassant spent a long time here. The beautiful and unique scenery of Elephant Trunk Hill attracted a large number of important Impressionist painters to gather here. The unpredictable weather and colorful light here have brought rich inspiration to painters. There are three Elephant Trunk Hills, which are divided into small elephant hills, female elephant hills and male elephant hills according to their sizes. At the same time, the unique tidal flat phenomenon makes the natural landscape of the sea here have countless changes.

 

Honfleur City

Honfleur is located at the gateway of the Flower Coast. The flower harbor, the ancient clock tower area and the maze-like old town are the splendid scenes of many Impressionist painters. This ancient thousand-year fishing port is an ideal holiday resort. Honfleur is both a city with a long history and an important seaport in Normandy since the Middle Ages. From Honfleur, you can overlook the spectacular Normandy Bridge, stroll through the quaint streets and alleys in the city center, and experience the exquisite romance and charm of this coastal city on the Flower Coast.

Monet Garden

Monet Garden is located 88 kilometers northwest of Paris and belongs to the Upper Normandy Province. In 1883, Monet was attracted by this place when he passed by here by train, so he moved here to live. Monet spent half of his life here for 43 years and created countless works. Monet claimed that "the garden is my most beautiful work". Today, 85 years after Monet passed away, this place is still maintained in the original state of Monet's life. From the tulips when the garden opens in April, to the most famous water lilies in midsummer, to the chrysanthemums before closing in October, you can find the colors in Monet's paintings here.

Normandy Bridge

The Normandy Bridge is 2 kilometers long and spans the left and right banks of the Seine River near the estuary, connecting Le Havre and Honfleur. The two "V"-shaped guardrails of the bridge are very eye-catching, and the whole bridge is like a huge work of art.

Deauville, a city that appears repeatedly in travel magazines and architectural magazines, has the most complete Norman-Anglo architectural complex to date. The old Normandy-style and wooden frame mansions can be seen everywhere along the Deauville coast. It is a popular summer luxury resort.

Trouville

Trouville, a small town in Normandy, is located at the mouth of the Touques River. It is adjacent to Deauville, but the styles of the two cities are different. Deauville is a masterpiece by masters and is full of celebrities, which looks noble and elegant, while Trouville is elegant, with seaside scenery and fairy-tale colorful castles. The two cities together constitute the Norman-Anglian architectural complex protection area.

景点活动

圣米歇尔山

圣米歇尔山位于诺曼底海滩上的一座孤岛上，距海岸两公里，涨潮时为海岛，退潮时为陆地的奇特景观，被联合国教科文组列入世界人类遗产。圣米歇尔山是法国著名古迹和基督教圣地，位于芒什省一小岛上，距海岸两公里。小岛呈圆锥形，周长900米，由耸立的花岗石构成。海拔88米，经常被大片沙岸包围，仅涨潮时才成为岛。古时这里是凯尔特人祭神的地方。公元8世纪，红衣主教奥贝在岛上最高处修建一座小教堂城堡，奉献给天使长米歇尔，如今成为朝圣中心，故称圣米歇尔山，是“世界文化与自然遗产”景点。

圣米歇尔山修道院位于圣米歇尔山上。圣米歇尔山经大自然的造化，是世界的一大奇观，山上的修道院和大教堂更在基督教徒的心目中有着至高无上的地位。奥伯特在岛上最高处修建一座小教堂，奉献给大天使米歇尔，成为朝圣中心。拿破仑执政期间，修道院也曾作为国家监狱。到如今，修道院虽然经诸多建筑师设计改建，但依旧保持着朴实无华、古色古香的格调。

 

圣马洛古城

圣马洛是保存完好的中世纪风格，这里曾经因为要抵御海盗的袭击，故又称为“海盗城”，今天在港口中还停靠着很多古代帆船。漫步在老城中，狭窄的小巷，古老的建筑让人仿佛置身中世纪的古城。还可以登上城墙眺望辽阔的海滩，也可以躺在海滩上晒太阳，踏浪玩耍，还可以去探访远处的礁石。因为这里是入海口，并且和老城隔海相望，当地还有专门的游轮在两个城之间摆渡。作为旅游城市，圣马洛不仅有厚重的历史感，各种纪念品商店超市酒店为游人提供非常方便的现代服务，所以这里绝对是度假的最佳选择。

 

圣马洛海滩和海防工事

海防工事环形的长长的一片，保持完整的中世纪海防军事要塞、环绕古城、眺望魔鬼导和英国的泽西岛屿，奴隶古监狱，大量的海鸟盘旋和一艘艘帆船涌动，从圣马洛市里进入到城墙中的步行街，再来到海滩这边，非常舒服，离海滩不远处有法国国土防线，为方形堡垒，可以在退潮的时候步行前往，整个圣马洛城给人的感觉很舒服，名副其实中世纪海盗城。

Attractions and Activities

Mont Saint-Michel

Mont Saint-Michel is located on an isolated island on the Normandy beach, two kilometers from the coast. It is an island at high tide and a land at low tide. It is a unique landscape and has been listed as a world human heritage by UNESCO. Mont Saint-Michel is a famous French monument and Christian holy place, located on a small island in the Manche department, two kilometers from the coast. The island is cone-shaped, with a circumference of 900 meters and is made of towering granite. It is 88 meters above sea level and is often surrounded by large sandy beaches. It only becomes an island at high tide. In ancient times, this was a place where Celts worshipped gods. In the 8th century AD, Cardinal Aubert built a small church castle on the highest point of the island and dedicated it to Archangel Michel. Now it has become a pilgrimage center, so it is called Mont Saint-Michel and is a "World Cultural and Natural Heritage" attraction.

Mont Saint-Michel Abbey

Mont Saint-Michel Abbey is located on Mont Saint-Michel. Mont Saint-Michel is a wonder of the world created by nature. The monastery and cathedral on the mountain have a supreme position in the hearts of Christians. Aubert built a small church on the highest point of the island and dedicated it to Archangel Michel, which became a pilgrimage center. During Napoleon's reign, the abbey was also used as a national prison. To this day, although the abbey has been designed and rebuilt by many architects, it still maintains a simple and antique style.

 

Ancient City of Saint-Malo

Saint-Malo is a well-preserved medieval style. It was once called the "Pirate City" because it had to resist pirate attacks. Today, many ancient sailboats are docked in the port. Strolling in the old city, the narrow alleys and ancient buildings make people feel like they are in an ancient city in the Middle Ages. You can also climb the city wall to overlook the vast beach, lie on the beach to sunbathe, play in the waves, and visit the reefs in the distance. Because this is an estuary and it is across the sea from the old city, there are also special cruise ships ferrying between the two cities. As a tourist city, Saint-Malo not only has a heavy sense of history, but also various souvenir shops, supermarkets and hotels provide very convenient modern services for tourists, so it is definitely the best choice for vacation.

St. Malo Beach and Coastal Fortifications

The coastal fortifications are a long circular piece, with intact medieval coastal defense military fortresses, surrounding the ancient city, overlooking the Devil's Guide and the British Jersey Island, the ancient slave prison, a large number of seabirds circling and sailboats surging. It is very comfortable to enter the pedestrian street in the city wall from the city of St. Malo and then come to the beach. Not far from the beach is the French National Defense Line, which is a square fortress that can be walked to at low tide. The whole city of St. Malo gives people a very comfortable feeling, and it is truly a medieval pirate city.

行程高亮

世界文化遗产——卢瓦尔河谷城堡区

卢瓦尔河谷城堡群，展现着法兰西最古典与传统的风情，卢瓦尔河谷作为法国最大的旅游景区：从卢瓦雷省（leLoiret）的叙利（SullysurLoire）到安茹（Anjou）的沙洛那（ChalonnessurLoire），卢瓦尔河谷为您提供了一条长达280公里的旅游线路。和谐也许是这里最显著的一个特征，无论是建筑在河流上的城堡，还是躲藏在深林中的花园，在卢瓦河沿岸交相辉映，河谷两岸郁郁葱葱的葡萄树，古朴的小镇，还有灿若星辰的城堡。“卢瓦河是另一个银河，而城堡是那些星星。”——蕙兰·休斯顿

 

景点活动

卢瓦河谷自然区

卢瓦河谷与河流、园林和绿树构成了一幅非常自然和谐的风景画。在卢瓦尔河西岸的Saint Florent La Vieil附近，每年5月初至9月底会有船在卢瓦尔河上往来通行，由于水位变化也会带来了不同的游船路线，人们看到的风景也各不相同。在这片地区每年都会有迁徙的水鸟在此停留，在那些因为河水涨落而偶然出现的沙滩小岛上繁衍生息。

 

布洛瓦老城

尽管布洛瓦老城区在二战时几乎被毁于一旦，但修复后的城市建筑依然非常值得一看。尤其是教堂的钟鼓楼，在晚上的灯光投影下光彩熠熠。教堂对面是杂技演员之家，装饰着中世纪滑稽戏中的小丑木雕，是战争中幸存下来的为数不多的15世纪古屋。

 

舍农索堡

15世纪和16世纪的建筑，种满地中海植物的花园和两座庞大的骑士塔楼。由主堡垒、长廊、平台和圆塔串联而成，横跨卢瓦尔河支流希尔河河面，是卢瓦尔河谷宫堡群中最富有浪漫情调的"水上城堡"，被喻为停泊在希尔河上的航船。舍农索城堡又被称为“女人堡”。因为这座城堡的几代主人全是女的，既是贵妇又是女中豪杰。这是一座三层的城堡，其最大特色是城堡是横跨河上的。这正好与舍农梭堡是女人堡的柔情似水相吻合，从这里可以观赏到卢瓦尔河畔的壮丽景色。

 

香波堡

卢瓦尔河谷城堡群中最大的一个，较为典型的中世纪古堡布局，是法国君王狩猎的行宫。香波堡兴建于弗朗斯瓦一世时期。它在布局、造型、风格装饰上反映了法国传统的建筑艺术，同时又受到意大利文艺复兴的影响，成为法国文艺复兴时期的代表作之一，被法国人视为值得炫耀的国宝。1981年，香博堡列入了世界遗产名录。

 

Trip overview

In the morning, we will visit the Château de Chenonceau, the only castle built on water in the Loire Valley. Then we will go north to visit the exquisite and quaint old town of Blois.

Hidden in the jungles of the Wa Valley are roe deer and wild boars that have never been tamed. Standing majestically is Chambord, the most magnificent castle in France. Its layout is also a typical castle layout in the Middle Ages. It was the hunting palace of the French kings, and then returned Paris, the end of a wonderful trip.
