2017-02-26 Mont Saint-Michel / 聖米歇爾堡一遊

I love France. Especially, my dearest friend, Martine Olivier, as the training manager of GS1 France, is a charming French lady. She is a pure Parisian, but she is so nice to me, a very good friend. Because of her, I was influenced to love everything in France. In addition, my colleague, Nicolas Liou, was taken the university in France. He introduced me lots of things in France.
Therefore, I visited France after I attended Global Forum 2015 and 2017. In 2017, I went to St. Malo, which was Martine’s hometown, and the iconic French historical castle, Mont Saint-Michel.
It was so difficult to reach Mont Saint-Michel because I have to switch at least three trains from Brussels. Therefore, I went to St. Malo first, and shifted to Mont Saint-Michel next day. When I saw the amazing night view of the castle, everything was so worthy. My life was fulfilled at the moment. I couldn’t believe the god created such a gorgeous castle in the world.
The town insides the castle is very small. You can spend probably two hours to walk all around the town and the Abby. The only problem was French didn’t want to speak English. When I spoke English to them, they answer me back French. I asked Martine about this situation. She said, “welcome to France”. Well, I like the pride and attitude of French. In addition, Mont Saint-Michel was the real life inspiration for the design of Minas Tirith in The Lord of the Ring.
吸引力法則真的很猛,我當時在參加GS1全球會員大會前,就希望可以去參觀新天鵝堡與聖米歇爾堡,最後真的如願成行,且天氣都還不錯,讓我照了非常精彩的相片,連我的法國同事都很喜歡。聖米歇爾堡是魔戒三的米那斯提力斯城的原型,非常壯觀。 先要想辦法坐火車到Pontorson火車站,從巴黎坐過來,要在Montparnasse站坐火車,大概要中間轉一站,才能坐到,好像沒有直達車。Pontorson站非常小,也很不起眼,但一定要到這站,再轉巴士。巴士大概再坐十幾分鐘,就會到了。旅館可以訂入口處,早點訂很便宜,我訂到兩千三百台幣一晚的。
從最近的旅館與商店處,走過去要兩公里。如閒暇無事,可以慢慢走過去,但也可以坐巴士,來回都免費。如不耐走的人,建議坐巴士。冬天非常冷,還會下點雨。
0971-0035 第一次進到聖米歇爾堡,外面真的很美,裡面則是一個小城鎮,住在這裡的人,一定很逍遙。裡面由於是座小山,因此有上上下下的樓梯。因為實在太小了,可能一小時內,就可逛遍每一個角落。然而,來這邊不是要逛的,是要享受一下悠閒的生活。
這是聖米歇爾堡的另一邊,也可說是後面。這裡可以見到大海,並還有許多商店及住家,這些住家應沒有人住吧。另外,還有一些旅館在這小鎮裡,但交通不便,不建議住這裡。
這裡的商店街,怎麼看怎麼像台灣九份的味道。一進大門,就可以見到知名與惡名昭彰參半的布列媽媽餐館,當然這見人見智,我是沒有進去吃,因為我想吃泡麵比較多一點。在歐洲,熱騰騰的泡麵是最美味的。
來到這兒,當然要參觀最上層的修道院,這也是聖米歇爾堡的起點。門票好像是10歐元,本來揹把吉他來,但被阻止,只好拿回旅館,再回來了。在法國,英文並不是萬能,因為很多法國人不屑講英文,雖然他們聽得懂,但他們就是回你法文,這是法國人的驕傲,我太愛這種驕傲了。
聖米歇爾堡的四個建堡時期,起源於大天使聖米歇爾在神父頭上打個洞,就這麼有了這個城堡。
這跟德國城堡不同的是,裡面可以拍照。不過新天鵝堡裡面有布置裝潢,這邊是空蕩蕩。
這是附近小鎮的一間雜貨店,也是餐廳,也是旅館聚集處,如要搭巴士到Rennes城市,再轉火車回巴黎,最好住這裡,因為這邊離Rennes巴士站很近,走路就到。
夜景是聖米歇爾堡的最美的一幕,這次能順利拍到夜景,真的是不枉此生了。雖然非常冷,冷到快死了,但夜景真的很美,簡直就像是永恆的一刻。
