12世纪的历史遗迹 The castle of a thousand and one lives

Château de Hunebourg

Today, we take a breath of fresh air, nature and history with this view of the Alsatian castle of Hunenbourg, located west of Neuwiller-lès-Saverne, in the Bas-Rhin, in Alsace. The castle of Hunebourg, listed as a Historic Monument since June 2007, is installed on a sandstone rock 425 meters above sea level and accessible by the Zinsel valley.

Formerly owned by the Counts of Hunebourg, the castle was built in the 12th century. Years after years, it passed from hand to hand. In the second half of the 20th century, the castle became what it still is today, a hotel.

The site welcomes its visitors in an exceptional natural setting where you can still admire the remains of the original building such as the floors and furniture, the cave of Love, which was used as a place for romantic dates, reconstructed by Spieser, or the markers of divided areas.

胡内堡城堡酒店

今天，我们在阿尔萨斯下莱茵河畔的纽威勒-莱斯-萨维恩以西的胡嫩堡阿尔萨斯城堡中呼吸新鲜空气、自然和历史。Huneburg城堡自2007年6月起被列为历史遗迹，它坐落在海拔425米的砂岩上，可通过Zinsel山谷进入。

这座城堡曾为胡内堡伯爵所有，建于12世纪。年复一年，它从一个手传到另一个手。在20世纪下半叶，城堡变成了今天的酒店。

该景点以独特的自然环境欢迎游客，在这里，你仍然可以欣赏原始建筑的遗迹，如地板和家具、被斯皮泽重建的爱情洞穴，或分割区域的标记。

World Art Day

To celebrate World Art Day, we're taking a look at one of the greatest triumphs (pun intended) of public art—last fall's 'L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped,' by the late artists Christo and wife Jeanne-Claude. Completed and staged 16 months after Christo's death at age 84, 'Wrapped' was the fruition of an idea 60 years in the making. On view for 16 days from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021, the project required 269,000 square feet of recyclable silvery-blue polypropylene fabric that completely covered the monument. The fabric glistened and glimmered with the changing light of Paris. The pleated fabric was held fast to the arch by nearly two miles of red rope.

Over the decades, Christo and artistic partner Jeanne-Claude created several large-scale installations at famous landmarks around the world, using fabric in tandem with landscapes and structures like Berlin's Reichstag and New York's Central Park.

World Art Day was declared by the International Association of Art, a UNESCO partner, as an international celebration of the fine arts, and to promote awareness of creative activity all over the world. It is celebrated every April 15, which also aptly marks the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, the embodiment of creativity.

世界艺术日

为了庆祝世界艺术日，我们来看看去年秋天由已故艺术家克里斯托和妻子珍妮·克劳德（Jeanne Claude）创作的《凯旋门》（L’Arc de Triomphe，Wrapped），这是公共艺术最伟大的成就之一（双关语）。在克里斯托84岁去世16个月后完成并上演的《包裹》是一个酝酿了60年的创意的成果。从星期六，9月18日至星期日，2021年10月3日的16天，项目需要269000平方英尺的可回收银蓝色聚丙烯织物，完全覆盖了纪念碑。织物在巴黎不断变化的光线下闪闪发光。褶皱的布料被将近两英里长的红绳牢牢地固定在拱门上。

几十年来，克里斯托和艺术合作伙伴珍妮·克劳德在世界各地著名的地标建筑创作了几部大型装置作品，将织物与柏林国会大厦和纽约中央公园等景观和建筑相结合。

联合国教科文组织的合作伙伴国际艺术协会宣布世界艺术日为国际性的艺术庆典，旨在促进全世界对创意活动的认识。每年4月15日都会庆祝它，这也恰如其分地标志着创造力的化身莱昂纳多·达芬奇的生日。

与铁娘子一起庆祝新的一年 Celebrate another year with The Iron Lady

Eiffel Tower, France

Locally, it's called 'La dame de fer,' which translates to English as 'The Iron Lady.' To the rest of the world, it's the Eiffel Tower, a landmark nearly synonymous with all things Parisian. It's one of the most recognizable structures in the world and the most visited monument with an entrance fee. The Eiffel Tower took 500 workers two years, two months and five days to complete. It stands at 1,063 feet tall, an amazing achievement for a time when structures of this size were unheard of. For that, we're joining the world in celebrating the Tower's 133rd birthday.

Depending on the temperature, the Eiffel Tower can actually shrink by about seven inches. On a particularly windy day, if you look closely, maybe you'll notice of the natural swaying movement near the top. That wind also gets collected by turbines on the second level which convert it into electricity for the tower's shops and restaurants. There's also a rainwater collection system that's used for the toilet tanks. The Eiffel Tower gets a fresh paint job roughly every seven years. Originally it was dark red, then yellow, but has been 'Eiffel Tower Brown' for the past 54 years. It takes around 16,000 gallons of paint to get the job done.

法国埃菲尔铁塔

在当地，它被称为“La dame de fer”，英文翻译为“铁娘子”对世界其他地方来说，这就是埃菲尔铁塔，一个几乎与巴黎所有事物同义的地标。它是世界上最知名的建筑之一，也是参观人数最多的纪念碑，只需交纳入场费。埃菲尔铁塔花了500名工人两年零两个月零五天建成。它有1063英尺高，在这种规模的建筑闻所未闻的时候，这是一个惊人的成就。为此，我们将与全世界一起庆祝塔楼的133岁生日。

根据温度的不同，埃菲尔铁塔实际上可以收缩约7英寸。在风特别大的日子，如果你仔细观察，也许你会注意到顶部附近的自然摆动。第二层的涡轮机也会收集这些风，并将其转化为电能，供大楼的商店和餐厅使用。还有一个用于马桶水箱的雨水收集系统。埃菲尔铁塔大约每七年重新粉刷一次。最初是深红色，然后是黄色，但在过去54年里一直是“埃菲尔铁塔棕色”。完成这项工作需要大约16000加仑的油漆。

布列塔尼！Brittany!

Bréhat island

Brittany wins us over! Today head to the Bréhat archipelago, made up of the main island and 86 neighboring islets and reefs. On July 13, 1907, Bréhat became the first natural site classified in France! 3.5 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide, the island is accessible by boat and can be visited on foot or by bicycle. You will discover here a multitude of coves, beaches, and shelters for lost sailors. If you are planning a trip to the island, then we suggest you go in spring or autumn: there are fewer people, the weather remains mild and nature is lush.

All year round, the archipelago benefits from the influence of the Gulf Stream, which provides it with a particularly mild microclimate in winter. Many varieties of flowers color the island: exotic plants such as agave or echium; flowers like the hydrangea, the mimosa, the mulberry, the eucalyptus, the aloe, or the camellia… But the flower that most symbolizes Bréhat is the agapanthus which blooms from April to September and colors the paths with its hue blue-purple.

Traveling through Bréhat, you discover a rich and varied heritage that traces the maritime and military history that marked the island. In the past, Bréhat provided the crown of France with numerous corsairs that caused terror to reign over the Atlantic. Thus, there are monuments such as the Pont ar Prad built by Vauban, It was built to connect the two islands forming Bréhat and a citadel which today houses the Verreries de Bréhat.

布莱哈特岛

布列塔尼赢了我们！今天，前往布莱哈特群岛，该群岛由主岛和86个相邻的岛屿和珊瑚礁组成。1907年7月13日，布莱哈特成为法国第一个自然遗址！该岛长3.5公里，宽1.5公里，可乘船前往，可步行或骑自行车前往。你会在这里发现许多海湾、海滩和迷路水手的庇护所。如果你计划去这个岛旅行，那么我们建议你在春天或秋天去：那里的人少了，天气依然温和，自然繁茂。

该群岛全年都受益于墨西哥湾流的影响，这为它提供了一个特别温和的冬季小气候。岛上有许多不同种类的花：奇异的植物，如龙舌兰或刺五加；绣球花、含羞草、桑树、桉树、芦荟或茶花……但最能象征百日咳的花是阿伽潘托斯，它从4月到9月开花，并以蓝紫色将道路染成蓝色。

穿过布雷哈特，你会发现一个丰富多样的遗产，可以追溯该岛的海洋和军事历史。在过去，布莱哈特为法国王冠提供了无数海盗船，这些海盗船在大西洋上空制造了恐怖。因此，这里有一些纪念碑，比如沃班建造的阿尔普拉德桥，它是为了连接两个岛屿而建造的，形成了布雷哈特岛和一座城堡，今天这里有布雷哈特城堡。

征服了世界的高山 The mountain wins us over

Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée

Today, head to the Alpes Maritime, in Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée. This small village in the Mercantour National Park, built on the banks of the river and in the hollow of a wide sunny valley, offers a pleasant and peaceful quality of life to residents and holidaymakers. As you stroll through the streets of the village, let yourself be guided by the testimonies of the past: pastel-colored facades, perspective wall paintings, sundials and fountains and much more. If you are lucky enough to be able to push the door of the parish church or the 7 listed chapels, you will discover a religious heritage of great beauty, in particular the murals that attract art lovers from all over the world.

Less than 10 kilometers away, you will find the village resort of Auron which offers a real change of scenery through its undeniable charm. Its beautiful residences, its luxurious chalets, or its traditional barns renovated into magnificent dwellings respect the architecture of its heritage jewel, the St Erige chapel, a listed building that is the pride of the inhabitants of the village. You will appreciate the central square that encircles the ice rink, the cradle of all entertainment and parties after skiing.

For lovers of mountain nature, whether summer or winter, exploring the entire Mercantour National Park is an absolute must. This territory shelters a space of harmony between protection, discovery, local development and respect for traditional activities. Nature deserves attention and respect everywhere: here we admire rather than pick, we observe discreetly without disturbing. The Tinée valley, where today's photo was taken, stretches for around 80 kilometers, from its confluence with the Var, to the sources of the Tinée at the foot of the Col de la Bonette.

圣埃蒂安·德蒂内

今天，前往圣艾蒂安·德·蒂涅的阿尔卑斯海岸。这座位于墨卡托国家公园的小村庄建在河岸上，坐落在一个阳光普照的宽阔山谷的山谷中，为居民和度假者提供了一种愉快而平和的生活质量。当你漫步在村庄的街道上时，让自己被过去的见证所引导：柔和的彩色外墙、透视壁画、日晷和喷泉等等。如果你足够幸运，能够推开教区教堂或列出的7座小教堂的门，你会发现一个非常美丽的宗教遗产，尤其是吸引世界各地艺术爱好者的壁画。

在不到10公里的地方，你会发现奥隆村度假村，它以其无可否认的魅力为你带来了真正的风景变化。它美丽的住宅、豪华的小屋，或被翻新成华丽住宅的传统谷仓，都尊重它的遗产珍宝圣埃里日教堂的建筑，这是一座名单上的建筑，是该村居民的骄傲。你会欣赏环绕着溜冰场的中央广场，它是滑雪后所有娱乐和派对的摇篮。

无论是夏天还是冬天，对于热爱山地自然的人来说，探索整个梅坎托国家公园绝对是必须的。这片土地在保护、发现、当地发展和尊重传统活动之间提供了一个和谐的空间。大自然在任何地方都值得关注和尊重：在这里，我们欣赏而不是挑选，我们谨慎地观察而不打扰。拍摄今天照片的蒂涅河谷绵延约80公里，从它与瓦尔河的交汇处，一直延伸到博内特山脚下的蒂涅源头。

一个神圣的愿望孕育了第一个小教堂 A saintly vision inspired the first chapel

Mont-Saint-Michel

The stunning sight of Mont-Saint-Michel rising out of the bay is unforgettable. And visiting the island will be too, if you time it right. The paved causeway is accessible only when the tide is out; otherwise, you're at the mercy of the muddy flats, dangerous quicksand, and the quickly rising tide.

Today's visitors are following in the footsteps of pilgrims who for centuries traversed Europe to pray at the sacred site. The local bishop of Avranches built a chapel on this rock in 708 after the archangel St. Michael visited him in a dream, and the rest, as they say, is history. Now the island, half a mile off the coast of Normandy in northwestern France, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its permanent population is fewer than 50 people, including a dozen or so monks and nuns, but more than 3 million visitors cross over to the island most years.

圣米歇尔山

圣米歇尔山从海湾升起的壮观景象令人难忘。如果时间合适的话，去岛上游玩也会很愉快。铺砌的堤道只有在退潮时才能到达；否则，你将任由泥泞的平地、危险的流沙和快速上涨的潮水摆布。

今天的游客正追随几个世纪以来穿越欧洲、在圣地祈祷的朝圣者的脚步。公元708年，大天使圣迈克尔在梦中拜访了阿夫兰切斯的当地主教，之后他在这块岩石上修建了一座小教堂，其余的，正如他们所说的，已经成为历史。现在，这个岛距离法国西北部诺曼底海岸半英里，是联合国教科文组织的世界遗产。该岛的常住人口不到50人，其中包括十几名僧侣和尼姑，但大多数年份有300多万游客前往该岛。

Illuminating Annecy

Who knew that an 800-year-old structure could look so festive? The pretty holiday illumination you see is adorning the side of the Palais de l'Ile, a distinctive historic building in the town of Annecy, France, high in the French Alps. Designated a historic monument in 1900, the medieval structure is perched on a small islet in the Canal du Thiou.

Over the years, this house 'in the shape of a ship' has served as a palace for local nobility, a prison, a courthouse, an administrative building for the regional government, and today is a museum of local history. The town of Annecy itself, dubbed 'the pearl of the French Alps,' was annexed during the French Revolution. Today it's the largest city in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. Near the border with Switzerland, the area is also home to Lake Annecy, the third-largest lake in France. It's a popular tourist draw for skiers in winter, and hikers and cyclists in summer.

发光退火

谁知道一座有800年历史的建筑会如此喜庆？你所看到的美丽的假日照明装饰着Palais de l'Ile的侧面，这是法国阿尔卑斯山高处的安纳西镇上一座独特的历史建筑。这座中世纪建筑于1900年被指定为历史遗迹，坐落在杜丘运河的一个小岛上。

多年来，这座“船形”的房子一直是当地贵族的宫殿、监狱、法院、地方政府的行政大楼，今天是当地历史博物馆。被称为“法国阿尔卑斯山明珠”的安纳西镇本身在法国大革命期间被吞并。今天，它是法国东南部奥弗涅-罗恩阿尔卑斯地区最大的城市。靠近瑞士边境，该地区也是法国第三大湖泊安纳西湖的所在地。它是冬季滑雪者、夏季徒步旅行者和骑自行车者的热门旅游景点。

Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle

Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle is an old medieval castle left over from the Vosges Mountains in the Alsace region of northeastern France. It has a history of 850 years, and due to its proper preservation, this allows us to see what it looked like back then. Also, you can have an overlook of the city of Alsace from the top of a hill...

The castle was built in the 12th century to monitor the trade routes of silver and wine. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century and rebuilt in the early 20th century. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, visited by 500,000 people every year, as a museum displaying medieval weapons and Renaissance frescoes.
