《巴黎圣母院》是法国文学家维克多•雨果的名著,出版于1831114日。故事的场景设定于1482年的巴黎圣母院,爱丝梅拉达是一名漂亮的吉卜赛少女,拥有迷人的外貌、出众的舞姿和善良的心地,是乞丐和穷人的好朋友。就连表面道貌岸然的圣母院神父克洛德,也暗暗地被她迷恋得失魂落魄。神父手下有一个相貌 丑陋的撞钟人卡西莫多,他听从神父的旨意,准备把爱斯米拉达抢到圣母院,但是爱斯米拉达爱上了英俊而又负心的上尉菲比斯。

这部包罗万象的小说是一部史诗,当年还在中国的时候,观看了五十年代法国拍摄的电影《巴黎圣母院》,被这个凄美的爱情故事感动得稀里哗啦的。所以上回带儿子游欧洲时, 巴黎圣母院是必须拜访的一个景点。

这是上次去拍的照片。

1991年起,巴黎圣母院就一直在整修,现在教堂的面容白皙了许多。

望着圣母院华美的墙头,我就会想起那个丑陋而又善良的卡西莫多,他会再来光顾钟楼吗?是不是会探头观看楼下排队的游人?哪位美貌的少女会是爱丝梅拉达的转世投胎?

我们乘船游览塞纳河,塞纳河是法国最大的河流之一,在巴黎市区的河段有20公里长,上面共有36座桥。塞纳河横贯巴黎,人们通常把北岸称为右岸,把南岸称为左岸,许多著名的景点坐落在塞纳河的两岸。

这是上船的码头。

跟这条船差不多大,可以坐上千人。背景是奥赛博物馆 (Musée d'Orsay),一座近代艺术博物馆,主要收藏从1848年到1914年间的绘画、雕塑、家具和摄影作品。原本曾是建于1900年的火车站,这里是从巴黎到奥尔良铁路的终点:奥赛车站。

邱吉尔大道(Avenue Winston Churchill)的右边为大皇宫(Le Grand Palais),左边是小皇宫(Le Petit Palais,大小皇宫和塞纳河上金碧辉煌的亚历山大三世桥,都是为了1900年万国博览会所建。大皇宫壮观的玻璃屋顶,以及屋顶四角的四马战车雕像,充满了古典新艺术风格。1966年大皇宫成为国家美术馆,1902年小皇宫成为巴黎市立美术馆。

亚历山大三世桥(Pont Alexandre III)是塞纳河上最漂亮的桥,桥上有新艺术运动的路灯、天使、仙女和两端的飞马,兴建于 1896 -1900年,得名于俄国沙皇亚历山大三世,他在1892年缔结了法俄同盟。189610月,他的儿子尼古拉二世为该桥奠基。

新桥(Pont Neuf)是塞纳河上最古老的桥,很有意思它被称为新桥。

阿尔玛桥(Pont de l'Alma)是塞纳河上的一座拱桥,得名于克里米亚战争期间的阿尔玛战役 ,是戴安娜王妃香消玉殒的地方。

协和广场(Place de la Concorde in Paris)位于巴黎市中心、塞纳河北岸,是法国最著名的广场和世界上最美丽的广场之一。18世纪由国王路易十五下令营建,建造之初取名路易十五广场。大革命时 期,它被称为革命广场,被法国人民当作展示王权毁灭的舞台。1795年改称协和广场,1840年重新整修,形成了现在的规模。广场呈八角形,中央矗立着埃及方尖碑 ,是由埃及总督赠送给查理五世的。方尖碑是由整块的粉红色花岗岩雕刻的,上面刻满了埃及象形文字,赞颂埃及法老的丰功伟绩。广场的四周有8座雕像,象征着法国的8大城市。

大巴士穿过协和广场,经过凯旋门去了餐厅,我们在那里美美地享受了一顿法国大餐。

女儿日记

17 day trip – day 15

Paris: three out of five

The main highlight of today was going to Paris. I went on a boat ride there, on the Seine River. I saw a lot of landmarks on the river, including the Eiffel Tower.  In my opinion, it's more impressive from pictures than up close. However, it does have some nice diagonally moving elevators. Another place I saw was a house that looked a lot like the white house, but with a green dome instead. There are a lot of bridges crossing the river. If, while on the boat, you look up at the bridges' underside, it's as if you can reach out and touch it with one hand!

Dinner: four out of five

I had a French five course dinner today. The courses, in order, were seafood, foie gras with bread and sauce, escargot, duck or fish with mashed potatoes and salad, and puffy-foamy dessert. I didn't eat the foie gras or escargot, since they didn't taste too good. The courses, when they came, seemed to be piled on one after another. By the time I'd finished only ¾ of my seafood, the foie gras had already arrived. The food seemed to come faster and faster after each course. The only one that didn't feel rushed was dessert.
