Orleans
随意以自己的节奏探索和发现
停留:2 小时 - 不包含入场费
Begin your Orleans exploration at the magnificent Sainte-Croix Cathedral, where Joan of Arc prayed for divine guidance before lifting the English siege in 1429 and changing the course of French history forever through her unwavering faith and military genius that transformed a defeated nation into a victorious kingdom. Marvel at the Gothic architecture rebuilt after Protestant destruction, and step inside to see the stunning stained glass windows depicting Joan's story alongside biblical scenes in luminous colors that inspire pilgrims and visitors alike to contemplate the power of faith and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Walk the historic center following the Joan of Arc trail marked by bronze plaques embedded in the pavement, visiting the Maison de Jeanne d'Arc museum with its multimedia presentations about her extraordinary life and the Place du Martroi with its dramatic equestrian statue showing the Maid of Orleans in full armor, sword raised toward heaven in eternal defiance of those who would oppress the innocent. Explore the Renaissance-era Hôtel Groslot with its elegant brick and stone facade where François II and Mary Queen of Scots held court, and stroll along the Loire River banks lined with elegant 18th-century mansions for beautiful views of France's last wild river that flows through the heart of French history and identity. The city's blend of medieval heritage and Renaissance elegance includes vibrant shopping districts, excellent restaurants serving regional Loire Valley cuisine with local wines, and the Museum of Fine Arts with its impressive collection spanning from medieval religious art to contemporary works that reflect Orleans' continuing cultural vitality and its role as guardian of Joan of Arc's memory and France's spiritual heritage.

停留:2 小时 - 不包含入场费
Discover Chateau de Villandry, world-renowned for its spectacular Renaissance gardens that are considered among the most beautiful and historically significant in Europe, meticulously recreated from 16th-century designs using period plants and traditional techniques passed down through generations of master gardeners who guard the secrets of French horticultural artistry. Explore the chateau's elegant furnished rooms with their Renaissance and 18th-century decorations, then spend ample time wandering through the six terraced gardens including the famous Love Garden with its symbolic plantings representing different types of love from tender to passionate to fickle, each section carefully planned to tell emotional stories through flowers, geometric patterns, and seasonal color changes. Marvel at the ornamental kitchen garden where over 40 varieties of vegetables are arranged in geometric patterns that change with the seasons, creating living works of art that demonstrate Renaissance garden design principles and the French belief that utility and beauty should be harmoniously combined in all aspects of life. Discover the water garden with its ornamental pond surrounded by box hedges trimmed into intricate patterns, and the herb garden with its collection of medicinal and aromatic plants used in Renaissance times for cooking, healing, and religious ceremonies that connected daily life to spiritual practice. Climb to the chateau's upper floors or the garden's elevated terraces for panoramic views of these horticultural masterpieces that require a team of ten gardeners working year-round to maintain their perfection and historical accuracy, creating a living museum of Renaissance garden art that demonstrates the French mastery of transforming nature into art while respecting natural rhythms and seasonal beauty.

停留:1小时 30 分钟 - 不包含入场费
Visit the fairy-tale Chateau d'Ussé, dramatically perched above the Indre Valley with its forest of towers, turrets, and chimneys that famously inspired Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty when he visited in the 17th century and marveled at its romantic silhouette that seemed to emerge from a dream or fairy tale come to life. Explore the castle's fascinating mix of Gothic fortifications and Renaissance residential wings, walking through furnished rooms that bring the beloved fairy tale to life with period decorations, costumes, and wax tableaux depicting scenes from the story that have enchanted children and adults for centuries and continue to inspire new generations of dreamers. Climb the towers for stunning views over the Loire countryside's rolling hills covered in vineyards and forests, and visit the charming Renaissance chapel in the grounds with its remarkable tomb sculptures and stained glass windows that add a spiritual dimension to this magical setting and remind visitors of the deep faith that sustained medieval and Renaissance society. Stroll through the terraced French gardens designed by André Le Nôtre with their geometric parterres, ornamental fountains, and perfectly manicured hedges that frame views of the castle's romantic silhouette against the changing sky, creating picture-perfect vistas that seem designed for fairy-tale endings. The castle's collection of towers, dormers, and decorative elements creates the perfect storybook appearance that continues to inspire visitors of all ages and has influenced fairy tale illustrations, Disney castle designs, and countless romantic dreams of medieval chivalry and courtly love that remind us of the power of architecture to capture human imagination and aspirations.
