点评:Visiting Amiens we wanted to visit the hortillonages so asked at the Tourist board. Whilst there was a number of options only a few offered English tours and none had space for 4. They recommended we visit the musee as there we could just wait.
We are so pleased we took up their recommendation. Arriving at the musee, we paid a very reasonable 10€ each which would include the boat ride. The welcoming receptionist actually took us to where we joined the queue for a boat. One of the staff realising we were English gave us a laminated translation sheet, then suddenly Emiline was by our side explaining that she spoke English and would be our guide. She explained that she was volunteering there as part of her university language course. She accompanied us on the boat ride and then suggested we looked at the museum. Joined by another student, Marie, she went through the history of the hortillonages and took us around explaining everything.
It’s not a fancy museum, but there is lots to see and with our wonderful guides we enjoyed our afternoon.
翻译:我们参观亚眠时想去参观园艺艺术馆(Hortillonages),于是向旅游局咨询。虽然有很多选择,但只有少数几家提供英语导览,而且没有4人座位。他们建议我们去博物馆,因为在那里可以等位。
我们很高兴接受了他们的建议。到达博物馆后,我们每人支付了10欧元,价格非常合理,包含乘船。热情的接待员真的带我们去了排队等船的地方。其中一位工作人员意识到我们是英国人,给了我们一张塑封的翻译纸,然后突然Emiline出现在我们身边,解释说她会说英语,愿意担任我们的导游。她解释说,她是大学语言课程的一部分,在那里做志愿者。她陪我们乘船,然后建议我们去博物馆看看。另一位学生Marie也加入了我们,她为我们讲解了园艺艺术馆的历史,并向我们详细讲解了一切。
这不是一个华丽的博物馆,但有很多值得一看的地方,在优秀的导游的带领下,我们度过了一个愉快的下午。
