卢瓦尔河边的城堡
The Loire, the longest river in France, rises south of the Central Massif and flows into the Atlantic Ocean 1020 km later. This is the part that goes from the city of Orleans to the city of Tours, enclosing that area of the Loire Valley in which over 100 magnificent castles lie.
What we are looking at is the castle of Beauregard. In this residence?? the central part has a double gallery with arcades opening onto the ground floor. Which was commissioned by Jean de Thier, secretary of state to Henri II. There is a collection of paintings quite unique in the world.
This sumptuous salon, built in the 17th century, which is covered with exquisite woodwork and has a marvelous ceiling with decorated beams, contains over 300 portraits going from the first sovereign of the Valois up to Louis XIII of Bourbon. Here is Charles VIII, Louis XII and Francois I, it was primarily they who brought to the region: painters, cabinet-makers, sculptors, and architects, who were to live and work here.In this chapel, which has a nave and two aisles, there lies the tomb of a genius: Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo arrived in Amboise in 1517, having been invited to the court by Francois I, and was put up in this residence which is called Cols-Luce. The artist lived out the last years of his life here and Francois I acquired that masterpiece that even today represents one of France's treasures: the Mona Lisa.We continue on our way to visit another very special castle: Villandry. Built on the banks of the Loire in 1536 it is distinguished by its architectural peculiarity, which is characterized above all by its rectangular pavilions instead of round towers. But its fame is especially connected to the marvelous Italianate gardens. Here in Villandry he called Don Pacello da Mercogliano to the court, which were more a great Italian artist rather than a gardener. On the lower level, there is the decorative vegetable garden, the most visually striking and original of the whole estate. It is amazing to see how IT lettuces and vegetables manage to have this ornamental quality.Excellent wines are produced in the many vineyards in the ancient province of Touraine, which lies around Tours. Wines that make you love this area even more, just as the great writer Honore de Balzac also loved it. And in Touraine you also learn to love wine. Its history dates back as far as the Gauls and its international.reputation has certainly no need of further comment.The ones here are the dry white Sancere, strong and vibrant, Vouvray, sparking and clear, it looks like a wateITll of pearls. This wine reminded Rabelais, the great writer of the 16th century, of taffeta, a silky and delicate fabric.Those who love glowing reds will not be disappointed by the Loirs Valley: here is Bourgureil, with the strong perfume of raspberries. Chinon, on the other hand, has a delicate hint of violets.And so, glasses raised. A toast to the beauty of these dreamlike-places.A journey on the Loire is a meander in history, art and daily life. It is in a corner of Europe that etched itself deeply in the heart and mind.卢瓦尔河是法国最长的河流。它发源于中部山区，流经1020公里后，汇进年夜泰西。这里是位于Orleans和Tours之间的一段流域，100多座雄伟的城堡屹立于此。
现在我们看到的是Beauregard城堡。在它的修建中部有一个双层画廊，其拱廊从一层往上延长开来。它是由亨利二世的国务年夜臣Jean De Their授权修筑的。这里绘画躲品的风格在世界上也是独树一帜。
这座修筑于17世纪的豪华沙龙，表面是精彩的木艺，房顶的椽子也被经心装饰。这里留存的300多件绘画的收躲者包括了从Valois王朝的建国皇帝到波旁王朝的路易十三世。查尔斯八世、路易斯十二世和佛兰索瓦一世将画家、木刻家、雕塑家和修建师带到了这片他们糊口义务的中央。
在这个拥有小广场和回廊的礼拜堂里，埋葬着一位天赋——来昂那多·达·芬奇。在被佛兰索瓦一世约见后，达芬奇于1517年离开Amboise，并被安排住在Cols-Luce。艺术家在此渡过了老年底年，而佛兰索瓦一世也获得了艺术史上的不朽之作——《蒙娜丽莎》。
我们要继承向前，不雅观赏另一座很有特征的城堡——Villandry。它于1536年建于卢瓦尔河边，修建特征使城堡蜚声遐迩。因为这里没有罕见的圆形城堡，而是矩形的亭子。不外它的意年夜利式的园艺也是这里的特征之一。在Villandry，意年夜利园艺师Don Pacello Da Mercogliano更像是一位艺术家。在阵势低的中央，另有一个装饰性的蔬菜花圃，天然最原始的本性成为最令人赏心雅观的景致。这些最通俗的菜蔬被神奇地付与了装饰功用。
优质的葡萄酒产自历史悠久的省份——都兰。葡萄酒会令你在此地倍感心旷神怡，就犹如作家巴尔扎克对这里的迷恋。在都兰，你还能学到若何热爱葡萄酒。追溯历史，早在高卢期间，外埠葡萄酒的隽誉就已经响誉世界。
彷徨在卢瓦尔河上，犹如涟漪在历史、艺术与理想之中。
这里临盆的酒有浓烈美丽的Sancere和眩目明澈的Vouvray，那看上往犹如珍珠般的瀑布。这种酒在16世纪法国作家Rabelais的笔下被比方成一种精彩的丝织品。
那些喜爱红酒的人也不会在卢瓦尔河流域失落看，这里的Bourgureil酒披发着浓烈的喷鼻香气。Chinon酒则拥有着紫罗兰般的绚丽颜色。
让我们碰杯，为这里梦境般的美景纵情。
畅游在卢瓦尔河，似乎是行进在历史、艺术与理想的交织之中。在这欧洲的一角，它已被深深雕刻在人们的心灵之中。
