2021年1月27日,星期三,Atout France法國旅遊發展署和“A Journey to Nantes”舉辦了一次網絡新聞研討會,展示了法國南特市以及這個創新城市中的豐富活動和地標景點。網絡研討會由Atout France駐加拿大媒體經理Marie Andreé Boucher和Le Voyage à Nantes國際推廣與關係主管Xavier Theret主持。來自旅行社、旅遊出版社和其他行業專業人士都參加這次研討會,以了解這塊富有文化藝術背景的城市。
The webinar briefly covered the lengthy history of the city. Nantes was once an ancient port city that was a commercial centre for Roman settlers. From the mid-17th to the mid-19th century, was the first French city to ship African captives in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, being responsible for organizing almost half of the 4,226 slave trade expeditions from France. In the 1920s, the city underwent the first of many urban renewals by filling in the river channels and diverting the waterways away from the city. This move resulted in more accessibility for cars and Feydeau and Gloriette islands became attached to the north bank.

網絡研討會簡要介紹了這座城市的悠久歷史。南特曾經是一個古老的港口城市,羅馬帝國時期是「人民的港口」。從17世紀中葉到19世紀中葉,南特是法國第一個在跨大西洋奴隸貿易中,運送非洲俘虜的法國城市,負責組織來自法國4,226次奴隸貿易近一半的考察活動。在1920年代,這座城市經歷了許多城市更新。其中一項就是將河道填補、將水道引流至城市外。這一舉動使汽車行駛更方便,並將 菲多島 (Feydeau)和涼亭島 (Gloriette)與北岸相連。
Nantes then underwent a second shock when France was invaded by German forces in World War II. The air raids from German, American, and British forces nearly destroyed the city, killing over 1700 people and leaving many of the heritage buildings unusable and obliterated. Following the war, Nantes suffered through years of civil unrest. When the shipyards went under in the 1980s, this set off a period of economic depression where part of the city’s identity and many jobs were lost.

法國在第二次世界大戰中被德國入侵時,南特遭受了第二次厄運。來自德國、美國和英國軍隊的空襲幾乎摧毀了這座城市,造成1700多人喪生,許多遺產建築無法使用或被摧毀。戰後南特經歷了多年的內亂。造船廠在1980年代倒閉時,又引發了一段經濟蕭條的時期,城市失去了地位,許多的工作消失了。
When the city elected Jean-Marc Ayrault in 1989, he declared that to revive Nantes, the city needed to start rehabilitating its reputation on a cultural level. This led to him reaching out to Jean Blaise, the artistic director behind many international public art programmes, for help in breathing new life into the city. From 1990-1995, Blaise created the Les Allumées festival, a five-day-long festival that featured contemporary art, shows, and performances from hundreds of artists from all ends of the world with the purpose of promoting the city of Nantes. The great success of Les Allumées garnered a lot of press from the French media. This exposure contributed greatly to the boost in tourism and set off a series of different projects that would catapult Nantes as a premier destination for culture vultures, history enthusiasts, and art lovers. One of these other projects is the Estuaire, a 60 km long open-air museum that features a collection of 33 artworks that can be seen along 60 kms of the Loire estuary that ends at Saint Nazaire.

1989年,冉.馬克·艾侯(Jean-Marc Ayrault)當選時,他宣布為了振興南特,須恢復該城市文化水平的聲譽。於是他聯繫藝術總監Jean Blaise,尋求他的協助,為這座城市注入新的活力。Blaise於是變成許多國際公共藝術背後的藝術總監。從1990年至1995年,Blaise創立了為期五天的Les Allumées文化節,以當代藝術、秀場和來自世界各地的數百名藝術家的表演為特色,目的是推廣南特市。 Les Allumées的巨大成功獲得了法國媒體的廣泛報導。這種接觸大大促進了旅遊業的發展,並開發一系列不同的項目,使南特成為文化、歷史和藝術愛好者的主要目的地。這些項目之一是Estuaire,這是一個60公里長的露天博物館,該館收藏33幅藝術品,這些藝術品可以沿著羅亞爾河(Loire estuary)60公里觀賞,其終點站在聖納澤爾 (Saint-Nazaire)。
Le Voyage à Nantes
In 2011, Le Voyage à Nantes was launched to further shape the city through culture. Since 2011, this annual event has allowed visitors to discover uniquely and playfully. By following a green 12 km long trail that runs throughout the city, visitors discover scattered monuments, artworks, panoramas, and key heritage sites along the way. Some of the sites include the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, Les Machines de L’Île, the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery, Passage Pommeraye, the Jules Verne Museum, and the On Va Marcher Sur La Lune playground.

There are also substantial wine-growing appellations just outside of Nantes. The Nantes vineyard is the producer of the largest single white wine grape varietal, the Muscadet. Le Voyage Dans Le Vignoble was created to encourage visitors to explore the vineyards and cellars as well as other points of interest. One such point of interest is the Château de Clisson, a medieval castle located on the right bank of the Sèvre Nantaise with a long history, and Le Moulin à Papier du Liveau, a living paper museum.

The webinar concluded with a brief mention of upcoming projects for 2021. One of these projects is Le Parfum, a contest of sorts to see which perfumers can create the perfect scent that best captures Nantes. Three of these scents will then be brought to the public and they will vote on the best scent. The winning perfume will be bottled, marketed, and sold. Le Parfum is set to run from December 6th to 9th, 2021.
