尋找索本大學/莊峻華

尋找索本大學/莊峻華

索本大學校園，是我遊覽巴黎主要目的地之一，為了尋找索本校園，

我在巴黎市古拉丁區，繞行一日，始終覺得未進入校園，今日查閱谷

歌字典，原來這近千年之學府，遍步拉丁區，甚至拉丁區外都有校園

名稱索本大學，拉丁區幾座學院，都散佈在各個角落，中文文獻裡，

介紹留學法國學者均曰，出身索本大學，其實不虛，拿破崙時代復校

，稱之為法蘭西大學。有一年，扁市政府，想要整飭龍泉街曰，要使

師大校園，像巴黎索本大學一般氣氛，所以我特別觀察就竟，大概是

說很多咖啡館，可以讓學生喝咖啡，我想拉丁區，有很多特殊建築物

，像萬神殿，幾座大教堂，和盧森堡公園等，需要傾全國之力，始有

索本大學今日之氣候。

萬神殿是紀念有功於法國者，建築雄偉，萬神殿法文名，和索本和在

一起，也是索本校名，還有居禮索本大學等等，我看在巴黎讀大學，

大體上均可索本大學出身，無庸置疑。拉丁區房價一定高昂，學生如

何住宿？我正納悶。我在巴塞隆納市，遇見一小姐，曾在巴黎讀書，

我提索本，彼曰是習法語處，全歐洲大學均免學費，美國新總統，也

準備跟進。

Visiting Latin District of Paris/Carlos Pueblo

Visiting Latin District of Paris/Carlos Pueblo

One day a Taiwanese lady traveler recommended me St. Michael Notre- Dame

for a visit and I checked my map. Sorbonne University is also inside the district

and not far from the church. Again I got off Chatelet station early on the next

morning to walk toward River Seine. The church is on an island split the river

into two while I walked across the St. Michel Avenue bridge to the east bank.

There is a St. Michel Church between two big streets which I did come back to

take some photos. In Paris there are either palaces or churches which represent

two estates, royalty and churches, which had caused the great 1789 revolution.

The vender opened their box buildings for a business of a new day, souvenirs

and magazines and on the other side of the street, restaurants and more permanent

stores for tourists. I was attracted by an unique street of flowers shops, bird feeds,

and bird shops.

In addition to the fresh cut flowers, the shops also carry the growing plants in a large

pot. I like their roses with all kinds of color and some other charming flowers. I was

not sure if some of them were peony or dahlia and asked my questions. Lady owners

were very patient to me for my broken Spanish. On the other side of the small street,

shoulder to shoulder, were birds stands with all kinds of bird feeds. These are Arabic

birds merchants with very special hobby indeed. I have seen people in Taiwan keep

all kinds of birds as hobby and treated as property. Of course, I also saw people catching

sparrows in the rice field after the harvest for grilled birds for food.

Across another bridge is the world known St. Michel Notre- Dame of Paris. People from

all over the world have gathered in the church square and line up waiting to enter to the

church. The front view of the church is so large which cannot be fit to my regular Canon

lens. I entered to the inside of the church, a red cardinal was performing a mass for the

Catholics. The church keeps several saints around the auditorium. You can purchase

candles to light on the front of the saints of your favorite, of course, you need to pay a

fee usually one Euro for a small candle. We Buddhist did the same thing by burning the

insane to our Buddha and Bodhisattva, saints like of Buddhism.

I went back to the east side of the river entering Luxembourg Park and French Senate.

This was a surprise to me along with the Pantheon due to my afternoon search of

Sorbonne campus of the University of Paris. I have been an admirer of the university

ever since my childhood era. Many Chinese scholars were educated here in early 20^th

century which lead the written Chinese language revolution.

拜訪巴黎拉丁區/莊峻華

拜訪巴黎拉丁區/莊峻華

一日有台灣小姐旅客，推薦巴黎聖母院，我查地圖，附近就是索本大學，

因此翌晨一大早，我就在查特列站下車，路人告知，往塞納河方向走去，

此為古法帝國京畿，今日鬧區，不是宮殿，就是大教堂，法國大革命前之

兩大勢力，皇家貴族系統，和天主教系統，第三系統是生意官宦富家，一

般貧民，多數在鄉下，或是我居住旅店之郊外。我沿塞納河西畔走回東畔

，因為聖麥可聖母院，在塞納河兩岸間一小島，東岸河畔，有許多小禮品

商店，或是書刊店，約是關閉過夜，清晨商家上班，打開小四方型筐架屋

張開門市，過路也是正式商店，早餐廳已經開始營業，我節省習慣，早在

旅店，吐司咖啡裹腹，並携一筒開水，我之當當日課題，就僅如廁問題。

此為馳名巴黎拉丁區之開始。

就在塞納河東岸，聖麥可大道上，也有一聖麥可大教堂，在兩大道中間三

角攤上，非常顯目，我心繫聖麥可聖母院，暫時無暇他顧，走到一條花鳥

商店街，非常特殊美麗，花店不僅是花束鮮花卉，而且有盆栽，玫瑰花多

彩多姿，我是過於苛求，一直詢問牡丹花和大理花，法語又不通，也不像

有錢買花，女主人禮貌回應，回家後發現，此街花店確實特殊，後來我想

再度拜訪，未得機會。過街就是鳥店群，和鳥飼料行，店主和顧客門，都

是阿拉伯人，阿拉伯人也喜飼鳥，鳥在鳥籠內飛跳，各色各類，我小時看

過台灣人養鳥風氣，像是十姐妹鳥，我仍舊可辨識，小時後也能自制彈弓

打麻雀，也看過稻田收割後之網鳥，龍泉街之烤鳥，真是掃興矣，巴黎鳥

店是千年雅興。

聖麥可聖母院，已經開始結集全球遊客，我連忙排隊進入大教堂，已經開

始作早日彌撒，有紅衣主教主持，我繞上一圈，教堂內真是富麗堂皇，有

許多歷代聖賢靈座，天主教也可以燃燭祭拜，一小枝蠟燭一歐元，因為有

許多人在外排隊，等候入院參觀，我連忙結束參觀，外面已經站滿遊客，

後來我又三次經過聖母院廣場，也都是擠滿人潮，有一次是麵包節。

為找巴黎大學索本校區，我在拉丁區團團轉，結果無意間拜訪到盧森堡公

園，非常美麗大方，我在花園板凳上，觀看小朋友在池塘上，放小帆船遊

戲，此為小生意，小帆船出租3.5歐元半小時，有一小男孩，在草地上追

逐野鴿，野鴿有意，成群輪流來到，小男孩疲於奔命，卻也樂此不疲。法

國參議院在公園內，有荷槍實彈衛兵站崗。有人指著一圓頂大建築曰，索

本大學所在，我尋找半天，見到幾家索大學院，如巴黎大學居禮學院，索

本學院，都是牢鎖門院，為學校安全故，萬神院，就是圓頂大建築，就在

索本大學校區之間。

Walking on Promenade Plantee, Paris/Carlos Pueblo

Walking on Promenade Plantee, Paris/Carlos Pueblo

I had attempted several times to search the remain of the Bastille Fortress with

no success yet when I concentrated to a small park near by the Opera House, I

walked into the Promenade Plantee, Coulee verte Rene-Dumont, that I wished to

work harder in my French lesson during my early life. I found the name of the park

later from a picture which I took on my walk, Gymnase Reuilly, and searched out

of this obsolete Vincennes Railway converted to a paved public walk park 4.7 km

from Bastille to Bois de Vincennes, an old palace now the largest city park of Paris.

The park idea began in 1988 and opened in 1993, the Google search mentioned

the High Line Park of Chelsea, New York City was 1 mile long also converted from an

abandoned railway from Chicago to NYC. Thanks to Patrick Hwang took me to visit

High Line Park and I believed Professor Ko, mayor of Taipei, went to visit High Liine on

His first visit of NYC in 2014 as well. Promenade was built 10 m above the ground on

The Viaduc des Arts, a kind of luxury art works display shops looked like a stadium

shape architecture which I found the real name at the same search. I was mistaken a

memorial plate on the wall for North African something to North American liberation

in the event of 1944, very stupid of me and I felt sorry for myself.

I like flowers and I love gardens. The city authorized to architects, Philippe Mathieux

And Jacques Vergely, to design this lovely elevated green park with a lot of small garden

lots along the walkway. The park is well facilitated, I mean toilets and water, and well

maintained. I saw roses and cherry blossom, of course not as significant od D.C., London,

and Dublin, etc. yet it made me feel that I did have a special spring, a prolonging spring.

I walked out of the trail two or three times to see some parts of Paris in more details, i.e.,

I bought a piece of water melon on a fruits shop and consumed it on a bench and continue

my journey. Once I found my camera battery was low in charge, I exited to a building, the

Gymnase Reuilly, for a break. The staff was very nice to allow me recharge my battery and

I was watching a high school physical education class, a hand ball game lesson, for the entire

hour. I did walk to the garden of Reuilly yet not a complete visit before a dead end of the park.

It was a surprise visit of Paris. Vincennes is on the suburban area with a beautiful landscape,

of course it was a royal palace of France once in the old time had been converted to a city

park. There were flowers and lake with white swans. My problem occurred again for toilet

facility and I was urgently need to find such facility. There is a zoo adjacent to the park.

巴黎散步用公園/莊峻華

巴黎散步用公園/莊峻華

我在尋找巴士底監獄廢墟中，走上巴黎散步用公園，公園開始於巴士底歌劇院

尾端之藝術館，架高十公尺，狹窄公園，可以通到維欣尼斯公園，我幾乎走畢

全程4.7公里，2.9哩路，我固不知其內容，一直到剛才查谷歌，始知詳細，原

來巴黎市政府，在1989年，開始設計，利用廢棄鐵道，開闢成為一散步用公園

，在1993年開始使用，有人在谷歌裡比較介紹，紐約雀爾西之高線公園，也是

廢棄輸肉鐵道，改成花園，一哩長，我去參觀過，要感謝布魯克林之黃再添兄，

台北市長柯醫師來紐約，也去拜訪過，巴黎先創於紐約。

我很喜歡賞花，巴黎正值春天，許多玫瑰花，園丁們也在忙碌中，我也看到幾株

，不知名稱之櫻花，當然不若倫敦和都柏林公園之顯赫，玫瑰花有些獨特美麗，我

有特寫留念，也有細竹林，拱門型火車通道，上面就是各街道之路橋，在散步用道

上，上上下下，可以欣賞巴黎建築之美觀。有些地方有錦繡綠地，市民在綠地上晒

日唸書，我在小鎮水果店，買四分一塊西瓜解渴，公園內有廁所，離開公園後，開

始面對如廁問題。

相機電池耗盡，於是出公園，找到一市立瑞利體育館，管理讓我在其桌插電，我就

在樓上看樓下，男女學生手球體育課，出館後拍攝前門留念，今日根據瑞利館大名

找出散步用公園大名，地圖方向。瑞利有一植物園，我不久留，繼續前行，一直到

公園盡頭，有一段尚未完工，我走出公園，然後就在市區流浪，終於看到維欣尼斯

公園，公園很巨大，今天始知內有皇宮，公園內有很多美麗花朵，有天鵝湖，動物

園就在隔壁不遠，此地已經是巴黎郊區。

我因為西瓜，加上廁所不便，所以急著解決，後來隨便搭一巴士，來到熱鬧街上，

看到一麥當勞店下車，問題於是乎解決矣。

Searching for the remain of Bastille Fortress/Carlos Pueblo

Searching for the remain of Bastille Fortress/Carlos Pueblo

I saw the traffic sign to Bastille when I got off Chatelet Station on my walk to

Louvre Palace. I reminded myself to come back to visit the site of Bastille Prison

during the great French Revolution. I love history especially its story beyond the

textbook and now I even have had the opportunity to visit the place. The next

morning after the visit of the Avenue Champs-Elysees, I took the subway to Bastille

Station for a visit. I had been informed several times that the Fortress site had been

torn down and built a huge opera house yet I still liked to find the site of small remain

of the Fortress. I didn’t think that the French authority would ignore such historical

significance and I was almost wrong. I found a small Chinese vegetarian restaurant for

lunch and the employees of that restaurant had no idea of what I talked about. During

my school time early in my life, I had to recite this piece of history and answered correctly

in order to pass the schools entrance examinations.

Those of us who love history always like to visit the historical sites such as battlefield and

memorial etc. One day I did pass by Bastille again and I wondered in front of the opera house

for some time and still had no clue of the remain of prison site and I almost gave up searching

idea until one day. I ran into three fellow Taiwanese tourists at the stair of Stalingrad Station

on my way back to the city from Montmartre. One of the lady told me that indeed there was

indeed a small remain site inside a small park near the original site of the Fortress. I went back

to Bastille to locate such small park. A gentleman in a gated office behind the opera house escorting me out of the gate and pointed the opera house and said that was the prison site. I

was still not giving it up. I walked down to the street away from the opera house and tried to

locate such small remain site and I found the famous Promenade Plantee.

There are many restaurants across the Bastille square from the opera house. On my 4^th visit of

Bastille, I asked several restaurant waiters about the remains of the old fortress. They pointed

a kiosco magazine owner who was the Bastille native. He told me to ask the subway employee

inside the station. I got the correct answer from a second person referred by the first one. The

memorial site is on the wall of line 5 toward Bobigny-Pablo Picasso Station. I did find the site on

a piece of wall with some stones and illustrations. The Fortress was built to protect Paris from the British invasion and later was converted to a prison for the dissidents. When the riot broke

out, there were only seven prisoners in it. The rioters, or the revolutionary, were mainly for the

the weapons and ammunition. It was on 14^th day of July, 1789.

It is the Bastille Day, 07/14, international day of celebration for the start of human right movement. France since then has been tampered so many years with numerous wars until

the end of World War II. I checked on Google France after Napoleon, French people have

been suffered a lot.

尋找巴士底監獄/莊峻華

尋找巴士底監獄/莊峻華

我在首次步行羅浮宮，就看到巴士底市路標，正想步行參觀，尋找

巴士底監獄，法國大革命之聖地，從小喜歡歷史故事，故事來自多

方面，先父面諭，小學博學先生，高中歷史老師，巴士底監獄，儲

藏武器彈藥，所以革命者攻下，武裝起義，影響世界歷史。凱旋門

行翌日，搭地下鐵到巴士底市，巴市已經是巴黎市中心，車站前有

廣場，車水馬龍，有人和我一般，為監獄而來，一對西班牙語系老

夫婦點頭說是，我問監獄，他們仍然說是，指著說明牌，於是我開

始展開詢問，原來監獄已經拆除，新建一大歌劇院，果然有說明在

歌劇院前，但我仍舊不相信，拆得一一乾二淨，毫不留情，於是我

一直到中餐廳午餐，再問年輕中國店侍者店家，均不知我所云，於

是我自他去。

喜歡歷史者，自然喜歡憑弔古戰場，一次路過，走到巴市，又在車

站前徘徊許久，仍無監獄頭緒，正待放棄尋找念頭。一日拜訪蒙馬

特聖心大教堂，回程在史達林格勒站換車，遇見台南來三位，自由

行女同鄉，蒙告知巴市有留下一些舊石塊紀念監獄暴動，說是在一

小公園內，和網路介紹相仿，於是我又專程巴市，問到歌劇院後面

一門禁辦公室，內主事為我熱誠感動，特別送我到門口，說是歌劇

院，就是巴士底監獄，我仍舊不死心，繼續巡找附近小公園，我確

實找到一狹長公園，從 巴市附近開始，約步行五哩路。

第四次專程再訪巴市，開始詢問餐廳侍者，經過幾人，結論是對面

雜誌報紙攤老板，是位老巴士底人，老板指導我到地下鐵辦公室詢

問，果然問出所以然，原來監獄紀念石塊，置放於五號地下鐵，開

往巴畢格尼畢加索站月台牆角壁，有英文說明，當年興建巴士底堡

，是防禦英軍入侵，後來改成監獄，囚禁異議者，暴動時監獄只有

七名囚犯。

1789年七月十四日，是巴士底日，法國國慶日，全世界人權運動之

開始，法國從此歷練不斷，許多戰爭，一直到二戰結束，人民始得

喘息七十年，我因旅行遊記，查閱谷歌字典，拿破崙後之法國，法

國真是歷盡滄桑。
