The Roman Empire called this place in today's France Gallia, and another meaning of Gallus in Latin is cock. During the French Revolution, the rooster replaced the lily as a symbol of kingship. The flag of the first Republic of France has the image of a rooster. During the First World War, the rooster was regarded as a symbol of the French nation's resistance to the Prussian invasion. Since then, the rooster, as the mascot of France, is famous all over the world and sings all over the world.
France is a country famous for its romance and elegance. When our bus enters France from Italy via Monaco, you can immediately feel the aristocratic atmosphere of this country and the temptation of diversified international elements. Nice, Cannes, Annecy, Dijon and Paris all seem to become charming and legendary in an instant. Sunshine, sea water, beach, red wine, coffee and beautiful women are all fascinating and exciting.
Nice and Cannes have the most beautiful and charming beaches in the world. Some people say that Nice is the center where the rich gather in the world. Since the19th century, European royalty, British aristocrats, Russian tycoons and Indian princes have come here in succession. They incorporated Italian Renaissance architecture into various seaside villas, luxury hotels, museums, art galleries, gardens, fountains and palm trees. The British built the "British Walking Avenue" on the coast of Nice, and the neat palm trees on both sides of the avenue became a unique landscape with a tropical style. We like swimming and playing on the beaches of Nice and Cannes. We took a walk on the "English Walking Avenue". We took pictures on the red carpet in front of the Festival Palace at Cannes Film Festival. We travel through the intricate streets and lanes of Cannes by ancient train, and there will be different scenery at every turn. Of course, the best observation deck is the bell tower, the highest point in the old town of Cannes. We sat under a huge parasol and tasted fragrant coffee and red wine facing the sea. The charm of Cannes and the blue of the Mediterranean make us intoxicated and intoxicated.
Annecy left the deepest impression on us, which is the Annecy Lake in this city. Annecy is surrounded by mountains and waters, backed by the Alps, and the purest and most dazzling Annecy Lake in Europe is in the south. The lakes formed by melting snow in the Alps, the canals passing through the city, the indigo mountains in the distance and the green trees and flowers nearby constitute a paradise-like beauty. Annecy is like a classical and elegant young woman. The closer you get to her, the more attracted you are to her temperament. The most famous love bridge in Annecy tells the story that jean jacques Rousseaux, a great French enlightenment thinker in the 8th century, spent the happiest and most romantic time with Mrs. Warren here. Walking or cycling by the lake Annecy or swimming and boating in the lake overlooking the rolling Alps will undoubtedly make you calculate the time of parting, just because of your sadness.
Dijon is an art city full of cultural heritage, a world-famous food capital, and a starting point for going to Burgundy wine producing areas to explore the scenery and wine of the small town. Dijon city has preserved many luxurious palaces and the remains of old nobles; It is a famous wine country in France, and its wine is world-famous. We specially visited a private winery and its vineyard in the suburbs. The wine cellar of the winery has an amazing capacity for storing alcohol. Because it is the original storage of the country of origin, our delegation from Yichang Taizhou Chamber of Commerce bought several pieces of wine at once; I wanted to take it back to China, but I was completely drunk as soon as I arrived in Paris. Fortunately, our president also hid a bottle. The snail rice in Dijon is said to be mouth-watering and beautiful, but after we tasted it, we couldn't feel better. The most magnificent is the endless vineyard. The most striking thing is the beautiful trams running in this city.
The last stop of the Belt and Road European Tour of Taizhou Chamber of Commerce in Yichang is Paris. The cruise ship sailed leisurely on the Seine. Located in the center of Paris, the urban areas on both sides of the Seine River from Le Bridge to Yena Bridge were listed in the World Heritage List on 199 1. The most famous buildings here are Notre Dame de Paris, Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower, as well as the Champs Elysé es. Paris is famous for its architectural art, historical sites and beautiful city appearance. Our bus traveled along the Champs Elysé es and the banks of the Seine River, and saw all kinds of splendid architectural art from the12nd century to the 20th century, saw blocks with different styles in different times in the past, and saw the development and changes of architectural art in Paris for hundreds of years. At Versailles, Louis XIV's "Sun King" once impressed the world. Under the Arc de Triomphe, Napoleon took away most of the European continent and stood out from the crowd. Place de la Concorde records the courage and confidence of the French people. They will make some noise here from time to time to show off the strong fighting spirit of roosters. "Freedom, equality and fraternity" are the symbols on the national emblem of France. In the pursuit of freedom and equality, they never flinched: yesterday's great revolution, today's general strike, the French always walk in the forefront of the world. Therefore, France is also a country with soft outside and hard inside. ?
Paris is the capital of art and flowers. No matter in the room, balcony, yard, shop, window and roadside, there are blooming flowers and charming fragrance everywhere. As for colorful flower shops and colorful parks, people stop to watch and linger.
Most intuitively, Paris is a worldwide consumption center. For people who are keen on shopping, Paris is a paradise to satisfy their shopping desires and a hell to vomit blood from their wallets. Whether you want luxury goods or cheap goods, whether you want to play top hipsters or love low-key simplicity, there is always something for you here. In particular, a large number of high-end fashions, perfumes, cosmetics and Bordeaux red wine are the favorite of foreign tourists who receive more than 6,543.8 billion people in Paris every year. However, the French themselves are not so high-profile. More than 80% of the cars running on the street are domestic hatchbacks such as Peugeot and Citroen.
However, the social order in France is not flattering. France accommodates a large number of immigrants from Africa and other countries, but it also brings social security risks. In France, the tour guide tells us the most every day, that is, look after our wallets, and even when getting off at the expressway service area, he will never forget to tell us. At the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, we personally experienced the scene of thieves stealing tourists' backpacks in public. At the Palace of Versailles, we personally suffered the bad luck of being stolen by thieves. When we called the police, the security guard shrugged and said that the police couldn't control it. There are too many such things in Paris.
Some people say that in Europe, because of France, there is no romance and elegance anywhere else. If he advocates romance and elegance, he is attractive, both personally and nationally. France's position stems in part from its charm. Although people will add some unrealistic exaggerations when they think of France as a romantic city, you won't be disappointed when you really get there. The rooster's temperament is pride. Many countries have had a golden age, but only France has maintained this sense of pride and held its head high like a rooster. Foreigners talk about Parisians. Although they invariably say that they are arrogant, they will not be expected to correct them.
Although the rooster is endowed with pride, vigilance and courage by the French, compared with the lion representing Britain and the eagle representing Germany, the gallic rooster inevitably brings some embarrassment and helplessness to the French. However, in 20 18, Gaul roosters can still sing the world and stand out from the crowd because they proudly won the World Cup in Moscow.
