你知道“阿尔萨斯之眼”吗？ Did you know the "Eye of Alsace"?

上巴尔城堡，孚日省

上巴尔城堡是一座位于阿尔萨斯北部，海拔450米的中世纪堡垒。它建于1170年，几个世纪以来经历了重大改造和修复。该城堡的建造由斯特拉斯堡的主教发起，旨在监视佐恩山谷和阿尔萨斯平原，因此被赋予了富有诗意的绰号“阿尔萨斯之眼”。天气晴朗时，甚至可以看到斯特拉斯堡大教堂的尖顶。

这座城堡建在三块岩石上，由一座被称为“魔鬼桥”的桥梁连接起来。相传这座桥是由魔鬼建造的，因为普通人很难造出如此坚固的桥梁。在传说中，一个化身为小贩的魔鬼出现在城堡入口，提出可以帮助建造这座桥。但作为交换，他要向第一个过桥的生物索要灵魂。为了避免牺牲人类的灵魂，据说主教们派了一只动物先过桥。看来，即使是魔鬼有时也敌不过人类的智慧。

Haut-Barr Castle, Vosges

Haut-Barr Castle is a medieval fortress situated at an altitude of 450 meters (1,476 ft), in northern Alsace. Built in 1170, it underwent significant transformations and restorations during the centuries. Its construction was initiated by the bishops of Strasbourg with the purpose of overseeing the Zorn Valley and the Alsace plain, earning it the evocative nickname "the eye of Alsace." On a clear day, it is possible to catch a glimpse of the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral.

The castle, constructed on three rocks, is connected by a bridge, known as "the Devil's Bridge." Legend has it that its construction is attributed to the devil as it would have been impossible for anyone to build such a sturdy bridge. The tale goes that a devil disguised as a peddler appeared at the castle's entrance and offered his services to build the bridge. In exchange, he asked for the soul of the first creature to cross it. To avoid sacrificing a human soul, the bishops reportedly sent an animal to cross the bridge first. Even the devil sometimes struggles to compete with the deceit of others!

赤血群岛的守护者

帕拉塔和桑吉奈尔群岛的热那亚之旅，阿雅克肖

闭上双眼，想象一下身处在科西嘉岛美丽的日落下，聆听海浪的声音......

帕拉塔塔建于1550-1551年，是一座历史悠久的防御塔。这座塔位于帕拉塔半岛，距离科西嘉岛的阿雅克肖约15公里。为了保护科西嘉海岸免受海盗的袭击，热那亚在科西嘉岛的海岸线上一共建造了90座这样的塔，它只是其中之一。

在帕拉塔塔，你可以饱览桑吉奈尔群岛的壮丽景色。坐落在阿雅克肖湾的吉奈尔群岛是由四个岩石小岛组成的，因其在日落时岩石呈现出血红色，它也被称为“赤血群岛”。为了褒奖当地为遗址保护和可持续管理做出的贡献，赤血群岛和帕拉塔角均被授予了“法国大景区”称号。

布尔日沼泽，法国

布尔日沼泽位于布尔日城市的中心，占地135公顷，为人们提供了一个放松和探索的空间。在中世纪时期，这片沼泽地曾是抵御入侵的城市保护带。

今天，这些沼泽已经被分门别类地保护了起来，是法国仅存的商品蔬菜栽培沼泽之一。每年9月初这里会举行沼泽节日，届时会有彩灯花船游行和水上市场，为这里增添了节日气氛。这个神奇的地方会随着季节的变化而变化，吸引着无数的游客，无论是步行还是骑车，都可以一探这里独特的城市生态系统。

Labor Day

Labor Day is a well-earned day of rest for many workers across America. The food we eat, the shelter over our heads, and the transportation that moves us around all exist thanks to our collective labor. Organized labor movements grew in the 19th century, along with calls for a day to honor workers' contributions. The first Labor Day was celebrated with a parade in New York City in September 1882 and similar events spread throughout the country. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill declaring the first Monday in September as Labor Day. Today, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, but let's not forget to take a moment to give thanks for the work we all put in to take care of our communities, our families, and ourselves.

凯旋的姿态 A triumphant pose

卡鲁塞尔凯旋门和卢浮宫金字塔

巴黎有一条历史中轴线，以卢浮宫博物馆为起点，一直延伸到新凯旋门，沿线是大片公园、花园和历史建筑。今天这张照片展示的卡鲁赛尔凯旋门就在这条轴线上。不过，千万不要把这个拱门和历史轴线中心的雄狮凯旋门混淆哦。你可以从这个拱门出发，经过杜伊勒里花园，沿着香榭丽舍大街到凯旋门。另外，如果照片左侧的雕像吸引了你的注意力的话，和马背上的国王路易十四打声招呼吧。

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Louvre Pyramid

Paris features an impressive stretch of parks, gardens, and monuments called the Axe historique, or historical axis, that starts at the Louvre Museum, in the city center, and extends west, ending at La Grande Arche. Today's image shows the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel at the eastern end of the route, with the embodiment of Peace riding a chariot atop it. It shouldn't be confused with the better-known and much larger Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, which stands 2 miles away, halfway along the Axe historique. It's a lovely walk from one to the other, through the Jardin Des Tuileries and along the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées. If the statue on the left side of the photo caught your eye, wave hello to King Louis XIV on horseback.

Château de Villandry, France

The Château de Villandry in France is renowned for its exquisite gardens that are considered a masterpiece of Renaissance horticulture. The gardens, which are divided into sections, feature geometric patterns, vibrant flowerbeds, serene water elements, and meticulously trimmed hedges. Each section has its own theme, ranging from ornamental to practical, and is bursting with a stunning blend of colors and textures. The château's gardens showcase the harmonious relationship between architecture and nature. Stunning gardens have surrounded the château since it was built in 1532, but their appearance changed drastically over the centuries. After Joachim Carvallo acquired the estate, he spent 10 years from 1918 reinventing and restoring the Renaissance formal gardens. Other elements have been added in the decades since and the gardens continue to captivate visitors to this day.

诺曼底登陆日 Remembering D-Day

诺曼底登陆日

第二次世界大战期间，1944年6月6日，经过数月计划和无数次的拖延，盟军在法国诺曼底海滩登陆，诺曼底战役由此拉开序幕。这是历史上最雄心勃勃的军事袭击之一，为盟军战胜轴心国奠定了坚实基础。

今天的诺曼底与战争中的战壕和雷区相去甚远。这里是一个美丽的旅游区，吸引着世界各地的游客前来品尝芳香的卡门贝干酪，同时饱览激发了伟大印象派画家灵感的风景。但这里仍然散落着过去的痕迹，时刻提醒着人们要记住和纪念在诺曼底登陆行动中逝去的生命。

D-Day remembered

On June 6, 1944, after months of planning, Allied forces descended on the beaches of Normandy, France, for the start of one of the most ambitious military attacks in history. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the Battle of Normandy was an operation to free Western Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. This military action would play a pivotal role in the Allies' win against the Axis powers.

Today's Normandy is a far cry from the battlefields of war. This beautiful region draws travelers from around the world, who feast their eyes on landscapes that inspired the great Impressionist painters, while sampling the famous local cheese, Camembert. However, blunt physical reminders of the past remain scattered about the region, a lasting reminder of the thousands of lives lost during the D-Day operation.

一座承载历史的桥 A bridge that holds up history

塞纳河上的桥，巴黎，法国

塞纳河流经法国巴黎，对这座古城的历史有着非比寻常的意义。公元前3世纪，一个名为帕里西人的凯尔特部落决定定居在塞纳河两岸之间的一座岛屿，即如今的西岱岛。在接下来的数个世纪里，塞纳河在巴黎发展成为全球商业和文化中心的过程中发挥了重要作用。

塞纳河穿过巴黎的河道十分辽阔，许多桥梁都横跨其间。巴黎共有37座普通桥梁和步行桥连接着城市的左右两岸。图中的映衬着落日的阿尔科勒桥在巴黎人心中占据着历史性地位，因为它在1944年为勒克莱尔将军解放巴黎的坦克提供了通道。

Pont d'Arcole over the Seine river, Paris, France

Welcome to Paris, France’s ancient capital city, through which flows one of the country’s longest rivers, the Seine. Human habitation here dates back to at least the 3rd century BCE, when a Gallic tribe called the Parisii settled on an island in the middle of the river. Today, that island is known as the Île de la Cité, seen on the left of our photo, and is home to Notre-Dame cathedral, as well as other striking buildings such as the medieval Conciergerie, pictured here.

It is linked to the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville by the Pont d’Arcole, one of 37 bridges connecting the city’s left and right banks. The Pont d’Arcole was built in the 1850s and holds a special place in Parisiennes’ hearts. In 1944, it supported General Jacques-Philippe Leclerc's tanks on their way to liberate Paris.
