今天是一个特殊的日子，7月14日是法国的国庆节，以纪念在230年前的1789年7月14日法国人民攻克了象征法国封建统治的堡垒巴士底狱，从而揭开法国大革命序幕的伟大事件。在法国，每年国庆节家家户户都挂起彩旗，所有建筑物和公共场所都饰以国旗和花环等，到国家级的重头戏阅兵式……在法国的每一个角落都洋溢着幸福感。
今天，巴黎市民大都去了城中心参观阅兵式，而我们避开了拥挤的人群，“反其道而行之”来到了乡下，也是法国的著名景点之一——诺曼底海岸。诺曼底海岸位于法国北部、巴黎以西200公里处，使法国和英国遥遥相望，对于两个国家甚至是整个欧洲都是极其重要的一个地理位置。第二次世界大战时期，1944年6月6日，以英美两国为主的盟军从英国跨越英吉利海峡，抢滩登陆诺曼底，即著名的诺曼底登陆。除去险要地理位置诺曼底另一个闻名世界的原因是那壮丽的风光。
早晨8点，我们同昨天刚刚抵达巴黎研学的16级贝时璋菁英班的学长学姐们坐上大巴，开启了今天前往诺曼底海岸的旅途。今天的车程尤其远，将近11点，我们到达目的地，下车后开始步行往海岸线走去。一路上我们遇到了赶驴、遛狗的居民，为今天的旅行增添了很多乐趣。我们爬上了一个山坡，来到海边的悬崖，面对无边无际的大海，站在险峻的悬崖峭壁上，我们发出了来自内心深处的对大自然之壮丽的赞美和惊叹之情。
我们沿着悬崖走，翻过了好几座山头，终于来到了石头海滩，开始近距离接触大海。凉爽的海风、温暖的阳光，无不是法国人惬意的生活，当然还有调皮的海鸥和我们争抢披萨午餐。
吃完披萨后，我们坐在沙滩上感受凉爽的海风，聆听海浪拍打沙滩的声音，看着人们在海里嬉戏游泳，在沙滩上享受日光浴，尽享这美好而惬意的假期。美好的时光总是难以留住，不久就到了返航的时候了，我们流连忘返久久不愿离去。我们拾起沙滩上的石头作为纪念。
晚上8点，我们终于回到了Evry，法国国庆节的狂欢还在持续。晚上，人们自发出来欢庆国庆节，街道上的车鸣声、烟花表演的声音为节日增添了许多热闹的气氛，伴着这欢快的氛围，我们结束了周末的假期时光，即将开始新一周的研学。
It is a special day today, July 14th is the National Day of France, to commemorate the French people who conquered the French Bastille, which was the prelude to the French Revolution, on July 14, 1789, 230 years ago. In France, every year on National Day, every household has a bunting, and all buildings and public places are decorated with national flags and garlands, etc. There is full of happiness in every corner of France.
Today, most of the citizens in Paris went to the city center to visit the military parade, and we avoided the crowds and went to the countryside, which is also one of France's famous attractions, the Normandy coast. The Normandy coast is located in the north of France, 200 km west of Paris, making France and the UK far apart, a geographically important location for two countries and even Europe. During the Second World War, on June 6, 1944, the British and American-based allies crossed the English Channel from the United Kingdom and landed in Normandy, the famous Normandy landing. Removing the dangerous location Another reason why Normandy is famous in the world is the magnificent scenery.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, we along with seniors of the 16th grade Pei Jingying class who had just arrived in Paris yesterday, started the journey by bus to the coast of Normandy. Today's drive is especially far, nearly 11 o'clock, we arrived at the destination finally, and then walked to the shoreline after getting off. Along the way, we met residents who were rushing and walking dogs, adding a lot of fun to today's trip. We climbed a hillside, came to the cliff on the seashore, faced the boundless sea, stood on the steep cliffs, and we sent out the deep praise and exclamation of nature from the depths of our hearts.
We walked along the cliff, turned over several hills, and finally came to the stone beach and began to get close to the sea. The cool sea breeze, the warm sunshine, are within the French people's comfortable life. And there are some naughty seagulls competing for our pizza lunch.
After eating the pizza, we sat on the beach and felt the cool sea breeze, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the beach, watching people swimming in the sea, sunbathing on the beach, and enjoying this beautiful and pleasant holiday. Good times are always difficult to keep, and it’s time to return to the flight. We have been lingering for a long time and we are not willing to leave. We picked up the stones on the beach as a commemoration.
At 8 pm, we finally returned to Evry, but the carnival of the French National Day continued. In the evening, people celebrated the National Day, and the sound of car noise and fireworks on the streets added a lot of lively atmosphere to the festival. With this cheerful atmosphere, we ended the weekend holiday and will start a new week’s study.
