4. Chateau de Chinon (France)
希侬城堡(法国)
The Loire Valley is, of course, a glittering cornucopia of fine castles and tall-towered flights of fancy – a legacy of the 15th and 16th centuries, when French royal power was concentrated here, and the Gallic nobility dutifully constructed their mansions close to the throne. Admittedly, Chinon pre-dates this period – there has been a chateau on its crag since the 10th century. And the river it looks down on is the Vienne, a tributary of the Loire, rather than the Loire itself. But it holds a crucial place in French history. It was here in 1429 that Joan Of Arc met Charles VII – an encounter which gave the monarch new impetus in his ultimately successful bid to liberate his kingdom from English rule.
卢瓦尔河谷是闪闪发光的宝藏之地,那里到处是美丽的城堡和高耸入云的塔楼——这些都是15世纪和16世纪聚居在那里的法国王室家族留下来的遗产。当时法国贵族都将自己的府邸建在国王宫殿附近。无可否认,希侬城堡建造的日期更早,早在10世纪就有了这座悬崖上的城堡。城堡俯瞰着维埃纳河,而非卢瓦尔河,维埃纳河是卢瓦尔河的支流。不过,希侬城堡在法国历史上占据着举足轻重的地位。这座城堡见证了1429年圣女贞德和查理七世的会面,这次会面让查理七世萌发了新动力,让他最终得以成功让法国脱离英国的统治。
