One night in September,
Breeze, moon and stars,
The Seine River, which carries numerous French stories, is quietly flowing by me and Yuege.
We were on a dinner boat in Paris
Ear is the toast, laughter
In front of you are the world-famous buildings in Paris: Eiffel Tower, Legion's home, Louvre, Orsay Museum
The flickering candlelight, the flowing scenery, and the floating chanting mix to form the colorful "night Paris",
Into a wine glass,
Being held high by me,
Drink it all in one gulp.
At that time, I thought:
It's wonderful to live so artistically,
Life in the world, but also so it! However, I didn't know at that time,
The boat dinner on the Seine is just the beginning,
What's really eye opening is still to come.
So why travel with your kids?
One of the important reasons is that,
Limited vision really limits our imagination of the world.
Enjoy in the cloud
The perfect journey of the whole France started with Air France. The most enjoyable thing about Air France is the mellow French wine and elegant smile service. It's a pleasure to watch. It's a pleasure to be drunk all the way! In addition, it is worth mentioning that this time we had delicious kung pao chicken on our flight, and the sesame paste noodles we had at the small bar during the rest. It seems that the French are still pursuing the extreme art of food even when they are ten thousand meters high. I began to doubt that the reason why plane food is not delicious is that their taste buds are not sensitive in the air. I remember that before landing, the stewardess sent us a toffee with French color with a charming smile, which seemed to remind us that we are about to arrive in the sweet France ahead... Well, yes, it is indeed romantic and sweet France!
Now, let's talk about our trip
——A parent child trip to France
Upper France is the closest region to Paris. It is the birthplace of the French nation and the favorite resort of French nobles. It is known as the "Royal Garden of Paris". There are countless historical sites and world heritages; There are world-famous champagne and equestrian performances; There are unique art museums and medieval castles; There are the most beautiful countryside, the most beautiful bay and the most French theme park in the world
I promise that these introductory words are far less than the shock and exclamation brought to us by personal experience,
Next, please follow our steps to experience the art and life of France
Today's article introduces my favorite Lille, where there are old cars to the old days, Hermes in the dessert industry, and the most beautiful museums in the world
Lille
Starting from terminal 2 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, you can take the TGV high-speed train to Lille without leaving the station. The train number is frequent and you can arrive in 50 minutes.
According to the information, Lille is the capital of upper France, known as the capital of European culture, the capital of global design and the hometown of President Charles de Gaulle. In our eyes, Lille is a "special French" city with taste, art, life and handsome men.
Old cars for the old days
The first stop to Lille is in an old car.
At the beginning, my heart is actually a little refused. This kind of activity, I always feel a little too tourists, not enough local, however, when those with a cap, wearing a tweed coat of the handsome guy to the bright color Citroen 2CV classic car parked beside us, who can not be moved? Xiaoyuege had already run over to say hello and ask for a photo, and waved me to get on the bus.
Who knows, when we are looking forward to the departure, a dramatic scene happened. I don't know how old the car is. The engine gasps for breath, but it can't start. The handsome guy has to push the car outside the driver's room. The driver of the back car also comes to help. On the way down, our old car finally starts. The handsome guy jumps into the car and smiles at us: OK, now let's go!
On the road, the handsome driver began to introduce Lille to us in fluent English: This is a very rich city, and its important geographical location has been contested by various countries in history, and also ruled by several countries, so the architectural heritage of the old city is rich and colorful, known as "living fossil of European architecture".
We just sat in the small and exquisite 2CV Citroen, walking through the streets, listening to the introduction of those historical and ancient buildings by the handsome guy, and walking through them, it seemed as if we were in a trance in Lille's old time
Walking in the old city
The weather beaten old town of Lille is not only a classic car ride, but also a good place to take a short walk, especially on such a rainy day.
One morning, we went back and forth in the streets where there were no tourists, feeling the ancient gravel roads left by the French, Spanish and Dutch; Use your eyes to appreciate the incomplete ancient buildings engraved with Gothic, Baroque and Spanish traces of time; With a curious heart to find those gorgeous retro fashion boutiques glowing with youthful flavor
"Hermes" in desserts, President De Gaulle's favorite
Esquermoise rue, 59800 Lille, France
Waffle price: about 25-30 yuan / piece
Business hours: Monday 14:00-19:30 Tuesday to Friday 9:30-22:00 Saturday 9:00-22:00 Sunday 9:00-18:00
In the old town of Lille, there are lots of desserts, and the smell of coffee and waffles is always on the street. The best of these desserts is the famous m é ERT, a century old shop that Lille people are proud of. There is a consensus in the French heart that "makaron wants to go to ladur é e, and waffles must come to m é ERT". Founded in 1761, it is known as "Hermes" and "the world's top ten most dreamy candy stores" in the dessert industry. Countless people come to admire it, and former French President Charles de Gaulle is also a fan of it.
The gorgeous and retro store, the elegant and noble style, and even the clerks in the counter have a proud temperament. All these are in line with my imagination of M é ERT.
However, when the waffle, which has been blessed by countless halos, came to the table, I was really surprised: it seemed that it was an ordinary waffle, not fancy. Besides its logo, I didn't see anything special. With doubts, after a taste, I realized that this simple looking little thing was completely impressed by its taste, especially its stuffing, butter, sugar and Madagascar spices. Although it was full of heat, the moment the aroma melted in the mouth, full of happiness came naturally.
This kind of waffle with noble background, famous France and amazing taste is only sold for less than 30 yuan, which is only equivalent to the price of an ordinary cake. Sitting in the sunny room or elegant tea room of M é ERT with a cup of Italian concentrated or English black tea, you can enjoy a happy afternoon.
The most beautiful museum in the world
Museum Name: La piscine - mus é e d'art et d'industrie
Museum Address: 23, rue de l'esp é rance 59100 roub
Museum transportation: take the subway to the center of Lille
Opening hours: 11:00-18:00 from Tuesday to Thursday; 11:00-20:00 on Friday; 13:00-18:00 on Saturday and Sunday; Closed on Mondays and holidays.
Although the small town of Lubei, affiliated to Lille, is not well-known, it has a unique swimming pool Museum in the world, which is rated as "one of the most beautiful museums in the world" by Le Monde.
Unlike the spiteful "demolition" that we are keen on, France is more willing to retain the ancient architectural appearance for the original historical relics and inject new vitality into their interior. Many museums are also reconstructed from their predecessors. The Louvre was born out of the grand palace; The Orsay museum was rebuilt from a railway station. The world's most beautiful museum we visited in Lille was a public swimming pool in its previous life, so it is commonly known as the "swimming pool Museum".
The designer of this museum is Victor Lalu, the designer of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, so we can see that the design style is very similar. However, the museum has its own special features: Victor laru makes full use of the characteristics of the pool water and designs orange colored flower windows. When the light enters the room through the color windows, the swaying soft orange light and shadow fall into the pool, creating the magnificent colors of sunrise and sunset in the water, making the whole exhibition hall a beautiful and shocking art work. It's no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most beautiful museums in the world.
I think the idea of turning the abandoned swimming pool into a museum will enable more people to get in touch with and understand the charm of art. Can only French people who are crazy about art and integrate art into life come up with this idea? At that time, the shower compartment was also decorated as an art exhibition space, without any sense of disobedience.
Another thing that makes me sigh is that the museum has carefully designed a lot of parent-child interaction links. The teacher takes a piece with a fragrance card to let the children identify which painting's artistic conception is better matched with this fragrance. Through such interesting interaction as "smelling fragrance and recognizing painting", the children can enlighten and edify the art and leave a deeper impression on the works.
Finally, the teacher led us to draw the past and present life of the swimming pool Museum on the pamphlet for commemoration. Let's not talk about children. Even adults like us are absorbed in reading and painting.
I was deeply shocked by the French's display and Enlightenment of art. Here, ordinary people can have close contact with art in a stress free, kind and natural way, which I really envy.
In the parent-child kitchen, children can also make French meals
When it comes to French food, what do you think of? Strict and elegant, exquisite and luxurious? Just Relax! In fact, under the chef's oral and personal instruction, in less than an hour, xiaoyuegege and even younger children can easily complete a traditional French Roast chicken leg with cauliflower paste, which tastes quite good. At least, xiaoyuegege and I are full of praise for our labor achievements.
Put on the chef's hat, put on the apron, practice style dinner, we are serious!
All the cooking lessons I didn't learn at home were supplemented this time, including how to wash vegetables, how to cut vegetables, how to cook and how to bake, all under the personal guidance of the chef.
The roasted golden drumsticks have already made people salivate. Don't rush to eat them. At this time, you need to add the honey sauce made by the chef to make the skin crispy and fragrant. That's the key to success.
We are all a little relaxed towards the end, but the chef is not careless at all. He is very careful in the process of plate loading. He reminds us that color, fragrance and color are very important. If we don't do it well, the whole dish will be destroyed. After hearing this, we dare not neglect it. Everyone mobilizes his artistic cells and tries his best to decorate the plate. The final product... Is super satisfied and tastes delicious.
Boutique hotels listed in historical sites
Hotel Name: l'hermitage Gantois, autograph
Hotel Address: 224 rue Pierre mauroy, Lille city centre, Lille, upper France
Average price: 1000 yuan / night
In Lille, we stayed in Hermitage Gantois, a boutique hotel owned by Marriott. It can be said that the 15th century church hotel building itself is a low-key luxury landscape in Lille. Ancient architecture and avant-garde art collide and combine here. During the stroll, the small hotel is full of surprises: there are many interesting avant-garde works of art in the art gallery and middle hall; The garden in the courtyard is exquisite and elegant; In the meantime, a 300 year old tree was included in the list of historical sites along with the hotel; Not only that, there is a Michelin restaurant hidden in the hotel and a chapel that often holds weddings.
What does table and art do?
What does table and art do? In the eyes of French people who love both food and art, this should not be a problem. French art is so close to life that the French who pay attention to food can never ignore the art of dining table. They will carefully match the tablecloth and table accessories with the same color because of the color of tableware, the weather of the day, and even the mood of the host. They should keep improving on the design and production of tableware.
We were deeply impressed when we visited arc glass factory in France this time. In order to meet the French's highest pursuit of aesthetics and wine, the French bow and arrow glass factory will even design and develop dozens of wine glasses, large and small, because they believe that the most important part of tasting wine is to choose the type of wine glass. The same bottle of wine, poured into different shapes of glasses, will produce different styles of performance, the diameter of the glass, the length of the cup, the width of the mouth and even the thickness of the wall, will have a subtle impact on the wine flavor.
A hotel with a view
酒店名称：Hotel du Golf de Saint Omer
Hotel Address: Chemin des Bois, ramble, upper France, 62380, France
Starting price: 600 RMB / night
Hotel transportation: self driving, about 31km away from Calais Ville railway station
The whole hotel of Golf Hotel Ho? Tel Du Golf de Saint Omer (najeti Golf Hotel Group) is located in a green area, which is a hotel worthy of the name of seeing the scenery.
Where the air is fresh, people always wake up very early, open the curtains, and lie back. Xiaoyue and I are in bed, enjoying the endless green golf lawn, single family villas and cottages outside the window, and the morning glow all over the sky.
Stay in the golf hotel, of course, also want to experience golf. It's very suitable for parent-child golf experience. The coach will patiently guide the posture by hand. There are also children's clubs suitable for children, so that adults and children can enjoy the fun of swing in such a beautiful environment.
Letukai
Letukai Paris beach is close to the English Channel and the nearest beach to Paris. It is one of the few seaside resort towns with sea and forest. At ordinary times, there are not many permanent residents, but the peak season is very busy, reaching as many as 100000.

Attention, lighthouse Avenue, 62520 letouquet beach, Paris
Opening hours: 14 hours, 15 hours and 16 hours from Tuesday to Sunday
Ticket price: 5 euro / adult, 3 euro / children aged 6-12
Xiaoyuege ran up the lighthouse with a smile all the way and urged me to hurry up. My old mother panted and followed me, weeping and gnashing her teeth. But when she climbed to the top of the lighthouse, eh! All this hard work is worth it! Climbing up and overlooking, we know why we want to stay in this small town: here is the vast sea on one side, and the vast forest on the other side. There is a small house with red roof in the distance, and the entrance is a garden villa. Xiaoyuege points to a villa with trampoline and swimming pool and says, "this place is really beautiful. Later, I have money. Let's buy this house. I'll trampoline in it, and you'll swim next to it."
Because of the majestic nature, because of the quiet life of the years, and because of the vision of xiaoyuege to her mother, I deeply remember this place: letukai!

This is my first time to ride a horse. I can't help beating my drum. The jockey took a look at me and immediately brought out a tall white horse to tell me that its character matched me very well. At first, I was a little scared, but soon I found that my big white horse was the best in the world. He was gentle, steady and not greedy. The horse in front of me often drifted away and ate the grass beside me, while my horse only carried me steadily forward.
When riding is getting better, I feel relaxed. It's a pleasure to watch the changing scenery along the way and move forward rhythmically with the sound of the horse's hooves. Our horse team passed through the flower Town, through the lush jungle, riding on the rolling sand dunes. When we stood at the top of the sand dunes, a sea breeze suddenly came. It was the wind from the English Channel. England was just across the sea. The gray sky was low, and a vast sea with silver light was connected with it in the distance. It was vast and magnificent. My big white horse used to walk slowly. When I got to the broad beach, I could not bear to exult. I bumped up in small steps. The feeling of stepping on the waves, the wind in my ears, and staggering was both frightening and exciting for me when I was riding for the first time. However, in the interval of screaming, I had a little experience of the romance of a lonely ancient Knight galloping on the vast desert.
The picture below shows me holding the reins in one hand and using my mobile phone in the other hand. I'm taking a picture of my shaking at the risk of my life, just to let you feel the situation at that time.
The celebrity hotel for president makron's wedding
Please note that:
Hotel Address: Avenue Du verger BP 22, Le Tuque, upper France, 62520, France

A perfect vacation must be inseparable from a perfect hotel. You can't miss the Famous Celebrity Hotel Westminster in letukai, which is the wedding hotel of Mr. and Mrs. makron. However, Ma Kelong is only one of the celebrities staying in the hotel. Churchill, Chirac, Blair, Sarkozy, bond, Marina Dietrich, Michelle brown and Charlotte laplin are just a few of them. Their names and photos became the decoration of the hotel corridor. The owner of the hotel introduced us all the way, and his eyes were full of pride and love.
The decoration of the hotel is noble and elegant, with a sense of historical massiness. The old-fashioned elevator, which can only be seen in the film, goes up and down here and seems to tell the stories precipitated by the years.
Amiens
Jules Verne wrote "twenty thousand miles under the sea" and "journey to the center of the earth" and other works here, and died here; The most magnificent Gothic church in France presents a large-scale lighting show every night; The picardi flight club here can take visitors through the clouds and overlook Amiens. The whole Amiens had an indescribable relaxed and dreamy atmosphere.
Paris Airport - Amiens: Amiens is 150 kilometers north of Paris, an hour and a half by car. From Charles de Gaulle Airport, take the RER B line to Gare du Nord, and then transfer to Amiens by train. The journey is one hour and ten minutes.
The big world in a small room
Address: 2 rue Charles Dubois, 80000 Amiens
Opening Hours:
Monday to Wednesday and Friday 10:00-12:30, 14:00-18:30, Tuesday 14:00-18:30, Saturday and Sunday 11:00-18:30. Closed from mid October to mid April at 18:00.
Perhaps the most famous building in Amiens is this three story building. Countless science fiction fans all over the world will regard it as a holy land, just because it is the former residence of Jules Verne, the "father of science fiction", where classic science fiction works such as five weeks in a balloon, traveling around the earth in 80 days and twenty thousand miles under the sea were born. When the former residence was restored, it almost restored the original appearance of the study, living room and other home furnishings, and showed a large number of daily necessities, books, publications and various derivatives used by Jules Verne. At the same time, it gave a detailed introduction to his life, which is a must punch in place for science fiction fans. Don't miss it.
From a distance, you can see the unique decoration similar to the globe on the top of the former residence tower. As soon as xiaoyuege sees it, she is immediately interested. It seems that this must be in line with her imagination of the former residence of a science fiction writer. Walking into the courtyard, the bright courtyard on the right is decorated with various foreign porcelains and plants. This place called Jardin d'hivers is quite exotic. Maybe sitting in the sun in a daze in this mysterious place can stimulate his endless inspiration.
Although he is a writer, Jules Verne does not belong to the kind of people who refuse to socialize. Every Wednesday, the upper class of Amiens gather here. This is the place where VerneS and his wife hold salons at home. Great writers such as Dumas, Hugo and so on used to be guests here.
From the spiral staircase, the second floor used to be the bedroom of Verne and his family, but now it has been changed into the office and Library of Pierre Jules Hetzel. Because this great publisher has the insight to change the fate of Verne, it can be said that he is the most reliable agent of Verne, making Verne famous and profitable, and not only becoming the world-famous father of science fiction, Also through the newspaper serialization, publishing novels and packaged drama, movies, games and other derivatives to get rich remuneration. Under Herzel's strict supervision, Verne revised his first novel repeatedly and renamed it cinq semaines en balloon. It's the first in Verne's "fantastic adventures" series, and it's the beginning of his best seller career. Verne's voyage Au centre de la Terre, vingt mile miles sous Les mers and Les enfants Du Capitaine grant are still the most popular books for teenagers in the world.
Of course, these achievements are inseparable from Verne's diligence and productivity. A small room on the third floor is Verne's study. He would sit at this desk from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day to write. More than 30 best-selling science fiction works were born on this small desk. It is said that the globe on the desk is Verne's daily use, I think, Maybe he would often stare at the globe in a daze, thinking about where the protagonist in the book is going.
Next to the stairs on the third floor is a model of the main control room of a 19th century British ship. It's based on Verne's ship, Saint Michel III. The view ahead of the boat is le crotoy. Every time I am tired of writing, will Verne sit in it and imagine the fun of sailing?
The largest hall on the third floor is themed around the earth in 80 days. The map of the world on the ground shows the tour route designed by Verne in "around the earth in 80 days". Xiaoyuege suddenly sat on the world map: "Mom, please take a picture for me as a memento. I hope I can travel all over the world with my feet one day!"
The former residence also displays many derivative game products, materials of Verne's dramatic works and film adaptations, puppets, stage models and movie posters, and other novel derivatives, each of which is very interesting and worth watching carefully.
Jules Verne's novels not only bring happiness to countless people, but also become the Enlightenment of science fiction for many people, and also open up people's thirst for knowledge to explore the world and broaden their horizons. Although he has been away from the world for more than 100 years, his novels are never out of date.
Macarons of the handsome President macarons
Attention, Piazza Notre Dame, 80000 Amiens, France
French people are fond of sweetness, especially macarone, and their ancestor is Amiens macarone with unique almond flavor. Jean trogneux, a six generation chocolate dessert shop in Amiens, is best known for its "Amiens macaroni.". Jean Alexandre, the fifth generation boss of the store, is the nephew of the handsome president, Mrs. makron. At that time, when the Amiens born macarone was appointed Minister of economy, Amiens joked: "we used to have Amiens macarone, but now we are more famous for Amiens macarone."

1.Amiens panorama (15 minutes)
2.Somme Amiens basin (30 minutes)
3.Trench site of Somme battle in World War I (30 minutes)
Flight price: 100 euro / 3 people (charter price)
Air travel by small plane is a unique tourism product in France. There are more than 600 air travel clubs in France, and many cities have air travel projects. This French tradition originated from the history of state funded private students preparing for the war before the first World War.
There is also a World War II military aircraft on display.
Do you believe it? All pilots of the Picardie flight club aeroclub de Picardie in Amiens are volunteers with European pilot license. They receive tourists for free just to share the fun of overlooking Amiens.
Our pilot uncle not only has more than 30 years of driving experience, but also loves acting. As soon as he got on the plane, he put on a worried expression and said that he hadn't opened for a long time and didn't remember how to drive. It made Xiaoyue and I beat a drum in our hearts. Looking at our serious expression, the uncle couldn't help laughing: "Ann, I'm kidding! This plane, I can fly with my eyes closed. " Good guy, scared out of sweat, uncle, you are too naughty!
After going to heaven, uncle put on all kinds of smart poses, and the plane became a big toy in his hands. He even made the plane fly at a 45 degree tilt easily. Sometimes, it was like riding a roller coaster, cheering and laughing with the rise and fall of the plane. I secretly envy in my heart, hoping that I can live such a funny and natural life at this age.
Moon night of Mid Autumn Festival in a foreign land
Lighting show time: from mid June to mid September, during Christmas in December, at 9 o'clock every night
That night in Amiens was quite impressive. It was the only mid autumn festival that xiaoyuege and I spent outside.
After a big meal, we came out of the restaurant by the Somme river. A bright moon has illuminated the whole sky, which is no less than the dazzling lights on the bank.
We walked along the river and walked around Amiens cathedral. Many people had already sat on the steps of the square. Of course, waiguoren didn't come to enjoy the mid autumn moon. At 9 o'clock every night, the biggest and brightest lighting show in France, the shimmering lighting show of Amiens Cathedral, is staged here. About 20 minutes of the performance is quite shocking visually. The huge church has become the canvas of artists. They freely use different colors and imaginative graphics on the Amiens cathedral to boldly try the impact of color Confrontation and new visual aesthetic balance, when 20 to 30 minutes later, the light transformation finally stopped, the color of the church accurately restored the original appearance of the medieval church.
Xiaoyue and I just sat on the steps, cuddling up to each other, eating moon cakes and enjoying the beautiful light show. When the light show ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. We still sat still, quietly enjoying this rare Mid Autumn Festival night. To this day, I still remember the moon hanging high in the sky and the medieval church shining.

Most of the castles are built on the Highlands, but Chantilly castle is independent of the water. Surrounded by the lake, green land and forest, it is a fairy tale, so it is called "fairy tale kingdom rising on the sea".
Compared with other castles, the 16th and 17th century castles not only have luxurious aristocratic temperament, but also exude charming artistic brilliance. Kongdai Museum has a large number of private art collections. The number of ancient oil paintings is only under the Louvre. It also has the largest private library and the top private collection of ancient books in the world. His French courtyard is not only the masterpiece of the Versailles courtyard designer lenault, but also one of his most satisfactory works. No wonder Chateau Chantilly is called "the perfect combination of the Louvre and Versailles" by the former curator of the Louvre.
Xiaoyuege puts on the little dress she rented from the shop. Her aura and eyes suddenly change. She seems to be the little master of the castle immediately. When she visits, she listens to the explanation and looks at the works of art very carefully, as if she is learning about her family's history.
Chateau Chantilly has a long history. Since the 16th century, it has been the property of the famous con é family in French history. The castle was built in 1560. From the 17th century to the 18th century, Prince Kongdai gave it flesh and blood. The castle had gardens, rooms, furniture and decorations. From 1875 to 1885, the prince of auale, the son of King Louis Philippe, renovated the castle to store and display his most valuable collection of ancient paintings: Raphael, Poussin, Delacroix, angel and wato, which gave the castle its soul. In the end, he donated all his collections to the French Society on the condition that all the collections were not lent. So, except here, no other place in the world can see the original painting of Chateau Chantilly.
Chateau Chantilly has the largest private library in the world, and we can only visit part of it. There are more than 10000 ancient books and thousands of medieval manuscripts. Among them, the most precious is "Prince Bailey's Prayer Book of luxury", which is the most exquisite and complete manuscripts preserved in the middle ages. The illustrations in it are all colored, and the book is inlaid with gold and silver, which is the concentrated embodiment of many ancient masters' exquisite decorative mosaic art. This book is on display from time to time. All the contents can be viewed through the computer in the library. For ancient book lovers, they can still apply to borrow it at the specified time and place.
Walking out of the castle, taking a battery car, and walking through a forest, we can see the idyllic and peaceful scene: three or two families in a bamboo fence cottage, children playing with chickens and ducks on the grass, swans swimming in the river, young lovers reading on the grass, people sitting in the sun enjoying a good lunch. This paradise is le hameau, the Queen's farm in the English garden of Chateau Chantilly.
I don't know if the lunch here is mixed with the taste of sunshine. Although it's simple, it's very delicious, and the people who eat it seem to be very happy.
Chantilly cream is another amazing work. In the eyes of French and even sweet fanatics, it is synonymous with sweetness and happiness! Children can also learn how to make desserts with their owners in the farm, and then become their own plate desserts. Of course, people won't tell us the secret recipe.
Chantilly is the largest horse racing training ground in France and even in the world. It is an important town of equestrian and horse racing. It can be called the "horse capital". The world's unique live horse Museum (Musee du ch vivant) is built here. In addition to displaying information, pictures and props related to horse racing, there are wonderful equestrian performances and interactive games every day.
In the Royal equestrian palace of the Chantilly equestrian Museum, we enjoyed the amazing equestrian performance in this trip. When the light gradually dimmed, thousands of audience were silent, and snow began to float in the sky. In the sad melody of violin, a woman dressed in white and she came on the stage slowly with the sound of piano and danced with the rhythm of music... Ethereal and beautiful, everything in front of us was just shocking! I never knew that equestrian shows would be so artistic. The following performances were more wonderful one by one. The performers were dressed in Chinese clothes, and the horses were also decorated elegantly. Whether it was bowing their heads or rotating rapidly, jumping in the air, or showing Spanish Samurai steps, they were accurate and in place. The exquisite skills and wonderful performances were amazing, which could be called an audio-visual feast.
The equestrian museum is rebuilt from the 18th century stables in the castle. It displays everything related to horses, from riding utensils to paintings and sculptures made for famous horses in the past. At the same time, it can also have close contact with the horses in the performance.
Many equestrian jockeys are aristocratic families. The blue jockey in the picture looks at the horse with love in her eyes. She is the mother of the star. Although her youth is gone, she is still full of love for equestrian and is working behind the scenes in the equestrian Museum.
Finally, I can get close to the ponies in these performances. It's so cute! Xiaoyuege was very excited. She was feeding and touching. She couldn't stop.
Visit Chateau Chantilly and the equestrian Museum, and it is highly recommended to stay at Auberge Du jeu de paume, which is within walking distance of the famous Relais & chateaux boutique hotel group.
The style of the hotel is highly consistent with Chateau Chantilly. In addition to luxury, the hotel also has a strong artistic atmosphere. There are historical paintings from the Kongdai Museum. The courtyard design also inherits the ingenuity of Le Notre, the garden designer of Versailles Palace, and embodies Chantilly's horse culture everywhere.

Located in the forest, pierfeng castle is the prototype of Neuschwanstein Castle. It is a medieval defensive castle with grand atmosphere and exquisite building details. It was demolished several times and rebuilt by Napoleon III. It is as old as ever, restoring a real medieval castle. Now it is the world heritage of France.
With its magnificent appearance, exquisite decoration and rich medieval atmosphere, piefeng has attracted many film and television drama groups. Many films and TV plays are set in the castle of pierfeng. For example, BBC version of "the legend of Merlin", 1999 film "Joan of arc" and so on.
A close look at the castle shows that the huge and towering wall is majestic and mysterious. It's really shocking!
The exhibition hall is divided into two parts: the theme exhibition and the castle itself, including the Hero Hall, the king's reception hall, dressing room, bedroom and so on. It is said that Michael Jackson loved pierfeng Castle very much. He had no choice but to collect the model of pierfeng castle and leave it at home.
It is said that the king and the queen lived in two rooms upstairs and downstairs respectively. Although the rooms were all gorgeous, what they opened the door was the desolation and desolation under the gorgeous appearance. I really can't figure it out. Even if the country is rich, the lonely soul is miserable. The bigger the room is, the more lonely it is?
Come out from the castle, see the moment of sunshine, there is a warm feeling of returning to reality.

Five star Royal Hill Castle Hotel is located in the deep forest 20 minutes away from Charles de Gaulle Airport, surrounded by Chantilly forest.
But the vacation life in the forest is not boring. You can ride or walk in the forest, play tennis, golf, or swim in the gym. You can also enjoy spa and Spa at home. Even if you just sit in the room, you can also enjoy the quiet and light in the deep forest with your family.

The hotel restaurant is also one of Michelin's recommended restaurants. The dinner is wonderful, with piano, music, atmosphere and first-class taste!
This hotel embodies the essence of the elegant and luxurious lifestyle unique to France. It not only decorates the noble style, but also the waiters always keep a kind smile and polite distance, which makes you feel respected and not feel uncomfortable due to excessive enthusiasm. It is very worthy of reference for domestic hotel services.
If you think the trip to France is over after you arrive at the airport? That's a big mistake! Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris is not an ordinary place for people to come and go, but an important experience project that can't be missed during a trip to France. The whole airport is actually a miniature version of Paris and even the whole of France. It extends the French lifestyle of Parisians to the moment when they board the plane. It truly reflects the artistic life of the French people and the art of life. Let you not only feel enjoyable, but also surprised, and moved
For me, no matter how long I travel in France, I have to leave as many museums, charming scenery and Michelin restaurants as possible. Even so, every time I come to Paris, it doesn't delay my shopping. The time-saving shopping strategy of travel experts is: on the last day, come to the airport early, because it's so easy to buy here, 390 duty-free shops More than 1000 brands, 56800 square meters of business district. The secrets of Cartier, Serena, Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Rolex, Tiffany and Victoria, the top designer brands inside and outside France, are all available. The shopping environment of the airport is not only artistic and elegant, but also less and comfortable. Moreover, it is absolutely authentic. All the goods are duty-free. There is no need to queue up for tax refund, exchange rate or handling charge loss, and there is no worry about overweight luggage. Moreover, many popular items that need to queue up in the downtown shopping malls can be easily bought at the airport. I feel that many people mistakenly think that there are few kinds of goods in the airport duty-free shop, and they have wronged Charles de Gaulle Airport. Especially through the VIP service of my Royal Club, the high-end frequent visitor Club of Paris Airport Authority, which I will introduce below, some difficult things can be reserved in advance through the Chinese housekeeper and picked up directly at the airport, which is better than the experience of high-end shopping malls in downtown Paris!
The M Hall of terminal 2E of Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris is equipped with a museum of authentic products. Don't underestimate the Museum of the airport. It's not just a gimmick. It once cooperated with Rodin Museum to display "the thinker", with Picasso Museum to display Picasso's manuscripts, and with art decoration museum to display tourism accessories produced by Louis Vuitton in the 1970s, Some of the important display boards even have Chinese introductions. It's so sweet!
The day we went to the airport was just the first day of the completion of modern art works, and many French media came to report.
Michelin chef's restaurant in the airport is absolutely not to be missed. Everything from dishes to desserts is amazing; Even the simple fast-food Japanese kitchens are excellent.
If the boarding time is still early, be sure to remember to get the skin care counter to do a free skin care. Swiss expensive skin care products La Prairie thousands of yuan a small bottle of caviar series can be free trial, finish the basic skin care can also go to the major brands of cosmetics counter to paint a delicate make-up, apply nails, the whole set is finished and then beautiful boarding, feel the whole person is radiant with new life.
Generally speaking, the waiting time at the airport is too long, and parents will worry about their children's impatience. But they don't need to worry about it at Charles de Gaulle Airport. This is the most family friendly airport I've ever seen. Children are so happy that they can't care about their impatience?
First of all, family travel can experience the Paris style worry free travel, with various priority channels, without queuing in a crowded environment.
What's more surprising is that de Gaulle Airport's consideration of parent-child family travel has been carefully divided into age groups: when you take your baby to travel, you can find the mother and baby room, family room and baby carriage at any time, which is very convenient; For children: the airport has set up children's world, children's goods stores, and most restaurants have facilities and children's packages; Teenagers can experience Sony PS4, arcade games, sports events, etc.
In addition to all kinds of amusement areas, children are also well cared for in the store. Mothers can put their children at ease in the store when they buy. There are special people in Hermes store to take care of them. The staff will teach children how to knot with Hermes scarves, use Hermes scarves as pawns to play chess on scarves, and help girls draw light makeup at the cosmetics counter, Paint a nail.
The one-to-one VIP service of my Royal Club, a high-end frequent visitor Club of Paris Airport Authority, is amazing. From the moment you get off the plane, the Chinese housekeeper begins to accompany you. It's no exaggeration to lead the guests directly through the VIP exclusive channel and take them to the customs in 15 minutes.
The VIP service of my Royal Club, a high-end frequent visitor Club of Paris Airport Authority, can even be extended to Paris outside the airport. The housekeeper can arrange for you to Book Michelin restaurant outside the airport, performance tickets of Paris International Opera House, tickets to French Open, and even high-end artistic life experience that money can't do, such as night tour of Louvre, wine tasting of top high-end wineries Watch Paris fashion show and other activities.
Before returning home, tell the housekeeper your shopping list wish list. It's not a matter for a professional housekeeper to find any limited amount. He can find it in Paris in advance and help you get the goods ready. When returning home, he can pick up the goods directly at the airport; The housekeeper can also help tax refund, run luggage, accompany shopping and guide shopping at the airport, provide VIP guests with wine, champagne tasting, Belgian chocolate with 100% cocoa butter and ROUGIE with French foie gras, and deliver them directly to the plane.
The most important thing is that the housekeeper of Paris airport is not only professional in service, but also warm. Before leaving, our housekeeper gave Degas's sculpture "Ballet Girl" as a gift to Xiaoyue, encouraging her to become an elegant girl. It's surprising and touching. So far, Xiaoyue has placed this "Ballet girl" on her desk, and she often sees it, You will think of the super warm VIP butler service of my Royal Club, the high-end frequent visitor Club of Paris Airport Authority.
Charles de Gaulle Airport has opened direct flights to 14 cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Kunming, Fuzhou, Xi'an, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Guiyang, Jinan and Hong Kong. I'm really happy that more Chinese tourists can experience French art life at Charles de Gaulle airport!
During this trip, we constantly found and realized that French art is around us. It integrates all aspects of French life, from home glass products to fashion luxury goods, from cream to macarone, from music to art, from hotels to museums, and even airports... As long as you pay attention, you can find the artistic atmosphere and artistic atmosphere in your life everywhere French artistic accomplishment and commodity artistic temperament. Although we are extremely reluctant to give up, the wonderful French life art parent-child journey is finally over. For us, this may be the beginning of a deep exploration of French art life
