This is not a "regional tour" in the conventional sense. In fact, after experiencing the scenery of Normandy and Brittany, and intoxicating with the beautiful scenery of the Loire Valley, it will "turn" to Burgundy. This is a process of migration from the west to the east of France.

Considering that fontaine is actually very far from the center of Paris (70 kilometers), An Qingju and An Chuyun decided to rest at Fontainbleau at noon and then continue to travel east to Troyes. The entire drive today is more than 260 kilometers, of which the section from the Loire Valley to Fontainbleau covers 150 kilometers.

The part where the car headed to Fontainebleau allowed An Qingju and An Chuyu to experience the rushing process of a spaceship rushing towards the earth. This huge "attraction" is not gravity, but the power of "gold-absorbing".

As long as the car enters Ile-de-France, approaches or passes through Paris, GPS will automatically choose the expressway. The expressway is definitely high-end, and it looks like the roads taken in Normandy before An Qingju and An Chu meet. The "money-making" ability of the highway in the major Paris province is definitely "high-end".

The short 100-kilometer road from the Loire Valley to Fontainebleau actually paid a toll of 24.7 euros! The Normandy expressway that An Qingju and An Chu met before, only 2-3 euros tolls per time.

Now let’s talk about how to pay for the toll on the expressway in France.

When entering the toll highway, like in our country, we have to park and get the card. However, people do not issue the card manually, but when they go to the gate, a machine will automatically take a photo and "spray" a card. Only when the card is pulled out from the machine will the gate automatically pull up and put the car into traffic. The difference is at the exit.

Usually, most highways have no manual toll ports (except for individual road sections). Automatic toll ports are generally like this.

First look at the lighting signs at the top of the exit toll station. They all have the word "t" to indicate that the tickets are checked here (that is, the tickets for the entrance). The functions of the three exits in the photo are different. There is a square sign on the side of the "t" sign on the leftmost toll port, which means that the exit is charged by swiping the card.

All highways in France use chip credit cards to swipe cards. Most Chinese people in An Qingju and An Chuyu cannot apply for such cards in China. So it is best not to try here. If it doesn’t work, it will be more troublesome.

There is a yellow "Re color RVE" railing sign on the toll port in the middle, which is a bit similar to our "etc" speed-passing card exit. The rented car cannot pass. There is no credit card sign on the toll port on the far right. This exit supports two forms of cash and credit card. For Chinese people, it is best to go to this exit.

How to pay? First, insert the card from the entrance and the exit machine (don't worry, you will find the socket, which is very eye-catching). The amount you want to pay will automatically be displayed on the screen - no matter what French, you will always recognize the amount.

There are usually two areas below the amount screen for cash payment and card payment. Now let’s talk about cash payment. There are two payment ports in the cash payment area, banknote port and coin port. Note that banknotes generally only support up to 20 euros. Therefore, if you go to the toll highway, it is best to prepare a little change.

The toll of nearly 25 euros made An Qingju and An Chuyu take a breath. This is definitely an extra-budget expenditure! I would like to warn you all who are traveling in France that if you drive near the Paris province (Isle-Isle de France), if you want to save money, you must try to avoid highways if you want to save money.

Later, An Qingju and An Chuyu discovered that there is a website in France. On this website, just enter your starting point and end point. The highway fee you will pay will be automatically calculated; if you choose other highways, its fees will also be adjusted simultaneously.

In addition, France also provides a lot of money-saving solutions for driving avoidpa daily. Given that the cost is so high, it is still worth the effort to make a guide.

When visiting the Loire Valley, if you go to "Shampoa", everyone knows to go to Shambo Castle; when you go to Chenonso, you also have to go to Chenonso Castle; no one thought about going to "Shampoa Town" or "Shanonso Town". Perhaps this town is not called "Shampoa" or "Shanonso".

When An Qingju and An Chu met Fontainebleau, they thought that "Fontainebleau" was probably also a "palace" or "castle". As soon as they entered GPS, they went straight to it. Unexpectedly, the car got there and the people were stupid.

It turns out that fontainebleau and chateaudefontainebleau are not the same thing. They are also marked with two different entries and remind readers to distinguish them. It can be seen that there are many tourists like An Qingju and An Chuyu who are confused.

Fontainebleau is the Fontainebleau district in the province of Seine-Marne. It has 87 municipalities and towns. Fontainebleau is the seat of the district, the largest municipality in the id-de-France, and the only municipality in the area that is larger than Paris. - Niu.

The next time you are on GPS navigation, you must tell whether to go to Fontainebleau Palace or visit this city. Think about it, is there a place where China has a famous tourist attraction named as a city?...

Of course, An Qingju and An Chuyu wanted to visit Fontainebleau Palace. The car was struggling to shuttle through the city, but he didn't dare to drive fast. Not only did he look at the road, but he also wanted to find where the palace was.

Suddenly, a luxury building flashed past the car window, which did not look like a high-end residential community. Then use GPS to locate the "Tou Rising Center" and found that just opposite the building, behind the iron fence, the legendary Fontainebleau Palace must be the legendary Fontainebleau Palace!

It is difficult to find parking spaces on the side of the road, but there is a large paid parking lot not far from the visitor center, surrounded by high walls, and you can find it after a little search. After parking the car, the two entered the visitor center and planned to figure out what they should do next. I was really a little embarrassed to speak, and I was always embarrassed to ask, "Is An Chuyu coming to Fontainebleau Palace?"

After thinking about it, I asked a little cleverly, "An Chuyu wants to visit the Fontainebleau Palace. Can you recommend a route for An Chuyu?" This is much better. The staff are very enthusiastic. I tear off a page of the map for An Qingju and An Chuyu, and carefully guide An Qingju and An Chuyu how to "walking" the Fontainebleau Palace and the classical buildings around it.

By the way, I really want to praise the tourist service centers of these developed countries. In France, An Qingju and An Chuyu actually didn’t have many cases of going to the tourist center for help, after all, they have made many strategies in China. But when An Qingju and An Chuyu have questions, every tourist service center you visit can immediately solve the problems of An Qingju and An Chuyu.

There are various free tour brochures, tour maps provided, and paid souvenirs and booklets for sale in the visitor service center. All staff can speak fluent English - at least you can understand and understand.

In France, each visitor center provides a simple map of various functions printed in piles (such as this one in the photo). The staff will tear off one directly according to your travel needs at that time (such as walking, looking for a place, or cycling) and then mark the route on it with a pen. It is really clear at a glance.

During the later tour, An Qingju and An Chuyu had some more strange problems and went to the visitor center for help, but they were all successfully solved. Let's talk about this later.

An Qingju and An Chuyu pushed the door open and entered the office. It was really like an office room, with small partitions. A small shelf similar to a newspaper reading rack was placed near the wall, with a stack of "Travel Guide" on it, which was a big folding page, with one map and one advertisement.

I took one and opened it for a long time but couldn't find the "Prairie Sky Road". I looked up and wanted to ask for help, but I saw a young man sitting in the office lowering his head to play with the computer. When I saw An Qingju and An Chuyu come in, he had already glanced at An Qingju and An Chuyu, as if An Qingju and An Chuyu were selling and broke into someone's office area.

An Qingju and An Chuyu asked the young man about "Prairie Sky Road", and the other party replied, "Today is the weekend, I'm on duty. I don't know, you are looking for it on the shelf. Ah? No? Then maybe this attraction has not yet been released. When they release the brochures, they will put it on, and there are no one here now."

Does it sound familiar? It has Chinese characteristics? An Chuyu wants to know how many tourists have visited this "tourist service center" in China? How many people have really received help?

The visitor center of Fontainebleau is different. From here, An Qingju and An Chuyu learned that visiting Fontainebleau Palace is divided into three levels of tours. The first is a visit to Fontainebleau Palace, which requires tickets, 11 euros per person. If there is a museum pass in Paris, you don’t have to buy another ticket, but the audio guide has to pay additional money.

The second is to visit the gardens and forests of the Fontainebleau Palace. This garden is expensive. The green part on the map is basically the gardens of the Fontainebleau Palace, which are super large. You must be mentally prepared. The third is to visit the architecture of the city of Fontainebleau. Those who have studied art know that there is a Fontainebleau school.

After François I, the subsequent Dharma Kings will repair the Palace of Fontainebleau. For vacation or to have a try with their mistress, various lawyers, education and financial services around the Palace of Fontainebleau were also provided. Therefore, the buildings around the Palace of Fontainebleau are very beautiful, luxurious and complex than French rural buildings, and more relaxed and romantic than Parisian urban buildings.

There is a black mark on the map, which is the recommended walking tour route.

fontainebleau, which means "blue spring water" in French, Xu Zhimo once translated it as "Fontainebleau", but Zhu Ziqing's translation of "Fontainebleau" will make people unconsciously fall into endless beautiful imagination. There are the swaying shadows of trees in the sea of ​​thought, the thin dew of clear autumn, the change of seasons, and the eternality of time... This name, in two words, can only be - aesthetic.

The Fontainebleau Palace is the palace courtyard of the French king, which is equivalent to the Chengde Summer Resort here.

It was built by Louis VI in the early 12th century, and it was really a "country villa" at that time. When François I was in his yearning for the Italian Renaissance, he built this place and raised a group of artists to create and design it, making it magnificent.

From the appearance, the Palace of Fontainebleau does not feel particularly prominent. It has a similar architectural style to other French royal palaces and is not tall. In addition, it is an identity as an palace, so it does not look tall and magnificent, but it has a little more relaxed tone.

But the decoration inside is completely different. In terms of what we can understand the interior style of the Palace of Fontainebleau, it is the style of the "beech house" in the decoration of nouveau riche in China in the 1900s, which is the super luxury version of the "wood grain all-inclusive" style. The professional term is.

Decorative art that combines fine wood wall protection, plaster relief and frescoes. For example, this super famous promenade of François I, lures knosaying?

I also saw a luxurious reception hall where Napoleon "summoned" Pope Pius VII here in 1804 to hold a coronation ceremony. This was absolutely unprecedented at that time. It was the king who went to Rome to receive the crowning of the pope. Now, it is reversed, and Napoleon's power is evident.

In order to enjoy the comfort and handle office affairs, there are also various dance halls, prayer rooms, offices, study rooms, reception rooms, exhibition rooms, living rooms, etc. The styles are extremely luxurious and complex. Whether it is Baroque or Rococo, it is in the Italian nouveau riche style.

An Qingju and An Chuyu were specially looking at a Chinese Pavilion in the Fontainebleau Palace. This Chinese Pavilion was founded by Queen Eugenie of the French Emperor Napoleon III.

The reason for the construction is very simple, which is to store cultural relics snatched from the Old Summer Palace. After the British and French coalition forces snatched the Old Summer Palace in 1860, French commander Bentopon presented the spoils snatched from the Old Summer Palace to Napoleon III and Queen Eugenie.

The queen was very happy and specially collected a set of exhibition halls to store these Chinese treasures. It is said that there are more than 30,000 famous Chinese paintings, gold and silver jewelry, porcelain, incense burners, chimes, gems and gold and silver ware.

I always hear people telling me how many treasures there are in the Old Summer Palace, which makes An Qingju and An Chuyu, the descendants of Chinese indignantly use their imagination and imagine how exquisite and beautiful those treasures that have never been seen were stolen by the "Great Powers". An Qingju and An Chuyu have come so far away, so they have to see the honor no matter what.

But after going in and looking at it, I can only use the words "disappointment" to express the feelings of An Qingju and An Chuhui.

First of all, we cannot say that this is a specially "built" Huaguo Pavilion. Of course, you might as well feel wronged when you call it a "warehouse". After all, this place has been deliberately planned and arranged in an orderly manner. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
