I don’t want to eat that long-lastingly. In fact, you can just go straight to the topic and ask for one main course. If you are not enough, you can ask for 1 starter + 1 main course (you don’t have any objection to two main courses). However, you usually order pre-meal wine. Fifth, the main course is usually served with staple food. But a basket of bread is served on each table, and you can eat and play when you wait for the dishes. If you are not enough, you can ask for it (no additional money).
Sixth, don’t give me tips, you are willing to give me whatever you want. This is the summary of An Qingju and An Chuyu’s first meal. I will show you the rest after discovering the content.
An Qingju and An Chuyu ordered roast duck breasts and roasted pork chops. They didn’t know what to drink before the meal, so they could only order beer and diet coke. A meal came to 60 euros. Later, it turned out that Bayeux’s meal was expensive, and of course it was not much expensive. The taste was good. The duck made by the French was particularly suitable for An Qingju and An Chuyu’s appetite.
I woke up in the morning for breakfast and met two elderly American couples. They had been living here for a few days. I heard that An Qingju and An Chu were driving, and the American aunt said: Howbrave is! She said that the roads of "these French people" are narrow and fast, and the speed is so scary.
Indeed, the American road and the car are stupid, big and thick. When American cars walk on French roads, they will squeeze other cars down. An Chuyu has an explanation about this: This just shows that civilization and culture are different. The United States and France are both Western civilizations (both driving), but culture is very different. Civilizations can be divided into high and low levels, but it is difficult to say that culture is good or bad.
After breakfast, An Qingju and An Chuyu had the experience of congestion in Monet Garden yesterday. They knew that any museum that you visited during the summer vacation had to open the door and get a first chance to go in. Bayeux Tapestry Museum opened at 9 o'clock, and An Qingju and An Chuyu were really waiting there on time. Basically, when the first batch of people entered, there was no one to watch slowly.
The tickets for Bayeux tapestries are 9 euros, and you can buy bundled tickets with the Normandy Landing Memorial Museum (the latter is 5 euros to go alone), and the two are 12 euros.
The old town of Bayeux in the early morning is very quiet. The souvenir windows on the street are mostly full of various models of medieval warriors. Old houses, old churches, and old water wheels. This "old" is really old, not an old "old".
This is the Bayeux Tapestry Museum. This is probably the museum with the least exhibited items in the world, because there is only one exhibit here: Bayeuxtapestry, whose real name is "Lareinemathilde".
Why is An Qingju so passionate about it and wants to come here to watch Nirvana? First of all, it is probably the earliest comic strip in the world. An Qingju has seen a documentary called "History of Britain" by BBC. When introducing William the Conqueror, he directly used the content of this tapestry to explain it; An Qingju was fascinated by the view.
This tapestry is 70 meters long and half a meter wide, and is currently 62 meters away. The tapestry was cut into many small pieces during the war. Some people used it to make the roof of a carriage, and some people made blankets at home. It was not easy to collect so many and put them back together.
There are 623 characters, 55 dogs, 202 war horses, 49 trees, 41 ships, more than 500 birds and dragons and other creatures in the tapestries. There are about 2,000 Latin characters, which are very beautiful.
The story says: King Edward of England has no children. When his distant cousin William of Normandy visited England, he happened to be in a disagreement with his father-in-law. In order to win the support of the Normans, Edward promised to pass the throne to William after his death. For this matter, Edward specially asked his son-in-law Prince Harold to go to Normandy to announce William's succession.
Edward was dead. Unexpectedly, Prince Harold and his ministers discussed and proclaimed himself King of England. Of course, William did not do it. He brought his younger brother Archbishop of Bayo and other half-brothers to recruit soldiers and crossed the English Channel and Prince Harold's Yanggelu-Saxon army to fight in the Hastings area of England.
He won, killed Prince Harold and eventually became the king of England. This is the famous Battle of Hastings.
This famous battle in history, which is known as military reference value, was later found by Archbishop Ode to embroider on an extra-long linen to praise his brother's great achievements.
Fortunately, there is a Chinese audio guide in this museum. Under the guidance of the voice, An Qingju and An Chuyu read this long linen scroll twice, and were really amazed at the embroiderer's imagination.
The outlines of the characters on the tapestries are medieval, and the artistic expression is actually quite simple. However, it is embroidered with dynamic sensation, and uses artistic summary and various details to depict the strong personality characteristics and complex inner world of each character.
The picture layout of the tapestry is three parts: upper, middle and lower. There are birds, comets or texts in the upper part, etc. represent the weather and astronomical information. The middle is the main line of the story, and the lower part is generally the background of the story scene. For example, there are corpses on the battlefield, and when going to war, there are ordinary people, soldiers, etc. that express the atmosphere of the story. With the guidance of Chinese voice, many scenes full of joy can be seen.
For example, in order to thank Prince Harold for coming to Normandy for announcing his succession, William asked him to marry his sister. A shocking naked man appeared under the scroll, which was the earliest full touch in history.
For example, William's little tricks (spy) into hiding in the grass and eavesdropping on Harold's conspiracy behind the pillars, which always reminds people of the scene of the Smurfs breaking through the conspiracy of the Gege Witch. It's really not in vain!
Visitors who like this long scroll can visit the only exhibits in the museum and buy photocopy of Bayo tapestries in various languages at the souvenir shop on the export. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese version. By the way, An Qingju came back and checked it and downloaded this Bayo tapestries, which are super long.
I watched a tapestry for almost two hours and lingered, which was worth the trip. Next, An Qingju and An Chuyun rushed to the Normandy Landing Memorial Museum. This museum is quite large, but unfortunately it only introduces it in English and French.
It shows the various uniforms of the Allied forces during the Normandy Landing, weapons originals, various records, etc., which is quite good. It also displays a 30-minute movie to introduce the Normandy Landing.
It was noon when I came out, so I went to see the d-day-beaches. I looked at the D-day memorial in front of me (I was watching An Qingju in randomly). I probably had a general concept of this d-day beach. Our Chinese history textbooks basically did not write randomly about this (there is no need to write randomly). This picture can be seen at a glance:
This beach is very long. To the west to the east are Utah, Omaha, gold, Juno, and sword, with a total span of 100 kilometers. Each beach has a place similar to a tourist center, and some ruins of the Allied landings can be found (An Qingju and An Chuyu encountered several places along the way).
An Qingju and An Chuyu went to Omaha Beach. The beach was carried out by the US military. The beach was too flat and wide, and not far away, it was a 30-meter-high cliff, which made the US military coming up directly a living target. The landing operation must have suffered great casualties.
After watching it here on the spot, I took out "Save the Soldier" and watched it after I got home, and I suddenly developed a more intuitive and terrifying understanding of the tragic scene when I landed.
Nowadays, in addition to the remaining fortifications, this beach is a quiet and comfortable beach in the eyes of people who don’t know where it is. An Qingju and An Chuyun discovered that they thought that the southern part of France was the "sunny beach", but in fact the beach in the north was as beautiful as the beach. When An Qingju and An Chuyun went there, it was obviously a place for French people in the north to take a summer vacation, which was very comfortable.
An Qingju and An Chuyu naturally would not miss this clean beach. The two of them put aside the heavy war stories. They posed for photos with the selfie artifact - the "shown remote control" on the beach.
In "Walking All", Mont Saint Michel is included in the Normandy tourist chapter. In fact, Mont Saint Michel is located at the junction of Normandy and Brittany. If you visit Mont Saint Michel in Hugo's "93rd Year", you should just include it in the scope of Brittany.
The next two days after leaving Bayeux, An Qingju and An Chuyu will be the itinerary in Brittany:
Bayeux>>Pontorson (stay below)>>Mont Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Saint-Sa
Before coming to Britagne, An Qingju and An Chuyu had no idea about this place. They were both France! When I really got there, I followed the description of the Wandai rebellion in the Brittany area during the French Revolution described in "93rd". An Qingju and An Chuyu had some feelings about this area bit by bit.
Brittany is located in the west of France with a long coastline. It almost looks like a peninsula. This area has actually been an independent principality in French history. It was not until the Duchess of Brittany ("Ana of Brittany") married Louis XII in the 15th century and was considered to be incorporated into the French territory.
Just look at the flags in the picture below. An Qingju and An Chu met the castles in the Loire Valley, the buildings in Burgundy, the historical sites of Paris, and all the flags in history that are related to the French royal family have the famous "Golden Lily" logo. However, the flags in the Brittany region are completely different:
The Brittany region has winding mountains, many canyons, many mountain streams, and long coastlines. Some of the residents of the region are Gauls, and more are Englishmen who settled across the straits. Most of the population lives in small farms and villages isolated from each other. The land here is fertile, and it is not difficult to make a living through agriculture and animal husbandry.
