点评:Foix castle currently houses a museum dedicated to the turbulent counts of Foix. The most relevant seemed to be Gaston III, a Count of Foix who was a passionate hunter and even wrote an illustrated book about hunting, which became one of the most influential texts of its era (a kind of bestseller of the Middle Ages, I guess). Many exhibits, including the scent of his favorite baked wild boar recipe, are related to Gaston III. Picturesque views over the Pyrenees mountains from the towers. I would recommend visiting the castle about an hour before sunset, for better pictures. We witnessed a hands-on demonstration of how a medieval crane and a war machine worked during the time when the Counts of Foix ruled the region. Nobody got hurt in the process.
Foix Castle also looks beautiful from the railway.
翻译:如今,福瓦城堡内设有一座博物馆,专门展示福瓦伯爵们跌宕起伏的生平事迹。其中最负盛名的当属加斯东三世——他是一位狂热的猎手,甚至撰写了一本配有插图的狩猎手册,该书也成了当时最具影响力的著作之一(可以说是中世纪的畅销书吧)。馆内诸多展品,乃至他最钟爱的烤野猪肉的香气,都与加斯东三世密切相关。从城堡的塔楼上还可欣赏到风景如画的比利牛斯山脉。我建议大家在日落前一小时左右去游览城堡,这样能拍出更好的照片。在福瓦伯爵统治该地区的时期,我们亲眼观看了中世纪的起重机以及某种战争器械的实际操作演示。整个过程中无人受伤。从铁路上望去,福瓦城堡也美不胜收。
