点评:We started our visit with 1.5 hour boat ride on the canals with a boatman. This was very fun. Our guide’s English was quite good and he did an excellent job of explaining the history of the canals, how they were constructed, and the local flora and fauna. Gliding down the canals was a nice, relaxing experience – it was dead quiet other than the calls of birds – and the scenery was very interesting. We had lunch on site which was both convenient and tasty. We then wandered the extensive ornithological park. It is very large, with many ponds, canals, and meadows. There were birds everywhere. Signage was excellent with photos of the birds and French names. If the bird was from North America, the English name was also given. Seeing the photos helped us look for the birds. We saw many varieties of herons, egrets, ducks, swans, ibis, cranes, pollards, avocets, and plover. If you enjoy birds, you will love this place. (And if you have small children, there is a much smaller area at the entrance to the park where they can see a variety of birds including roosters, pheasants and peacocks).
翻译:我们跟随船夫在运河上乘船一个半小时,开始了我们的旅程。这趟旅程非常有趣。我们的导游英语很好,他非常详细地讲解了运河的历史、建造过程以及当地的动植物。顺着运河滑行是一次令人放松的美好体验——除了鸟儿的鸣叫声,周围一片寂静——景色也十分迷人。我们在现场享用了午餐,既方便又美味。之后,我们漫步在广阔的鸟类公园。公园面积很大,有许多池塘、运河和草地。到处都是鸟儿。标识牌很棒,上面有鸟类的照片和法语名称。如果鸟儿来自北美,还会标注英文名称。照片帮助我们找到了鸟类。我们看到了各种各样的苍鹭、白鹭、鸭子、天鹅、朱鹭、鹤、截枝鹬、反嘴鹬和鸻。如果你喜欢鸟类,你一定会爱上这个地方。 (如果您带着小孩,公园入口处有一个小得多的区域,他们可以看到各种鸟类,包括公鸡、野鸡和孔雀)。
