#線上旅行團 #南法普羅旺斯山居歲月之旅
其實在結束「山城巡禮」之後,我原本想快速將後續的行程「帶」完,但卻發現有困難。
為什麼呢,因為雖然前半段的行程很精彩,也可能是重頭戲,但並不代表後半段就不豐富;光是這天上午我們要去的小鎮,原本想一篇寫完,卻發現可能也需要2~3篇.....
今天我們離開住了兩三天的鄉村旅館,依依不捨和老夫婦與大狗道別,約莫50分鐘的車程,來到隆河河口省的第一座城市——普羅旺斯聖雷米(Saint-Rémy-de-Provence),若按照法語發音,應該叫「聖黑米」,但從善如流,還是稱它「聖雷米」。
或許對一般遊客來說,聖雷米似乎不太有名氣,但只要我說一個曾在此居留過的人名,相信大家就會知道這座城市的意義,甚至驚呼。
是的,他就是文森‧梵谷(Vincent van Gogh)。
相信很多人都聽過(而且可能和我一樣,每次聽到都忍不住泛淚)Don McLean 詞曲演唱的 "Vincent" 這首歌,尤其是歌曲開頭的 "Starry, starry night...." 這段歌詞。這首歌的詞曲,當然都來自畫作的啟發,但你可知道,
梵谷創作「星夜」的地點,正是在聖雷米。
1889年,原本居住在附近大城亞爾(Arles)的梵谷,因為「割耳事件」,以及不穩定的精神狀態,在醫師建議下,來到了聖雷米的聖保羅修道院(Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole)/療養院(其實就是精神病院)。根據我查到的資料,他在此住了整整一年。
梵谷住的,據記載是「兩間帶有鐵窗的房間」,一間被他做為畫室。而他的精神,在此似乎獲得一段時間的平靜,後來也獲准外出作畫,他曾經留下畫作的地點,如今成了一條「梵谷之路」(下一篇會寫到)。
文森‧梵谷雖然是荷蘭人,他的畫作也多被荷蘭當作國寶珍藏,但他晚年許多經典作品,卻是在南法的亞爾和聖雷米完成。因此他不僅是荷蘭的國寶,同樣也被南法當成珍寶。
原本如果按照歷史順序,應該先去亞爾,再來聖雷米。但根據行程的氛圍,希望是「城市—鄉村—城市」,聖雷米是座小城,下午還會去近郊的最後一座山城。這樣的安排順序,是比較適合旅行的。
曾在聖雷米修道院,遇見一群老太太,在老師指導下,於梵谷也坐過的中庭,進行寫生素描。多麼有意義的活動!(我知道台灣嘉義也有類似「陳澄波之路」的規劃,下次要特別抽空去走訪)
在圖片中,也可看到2007年的我。南法炎陽下,一個曾經追求藝術的青年。
哦對了,聖保羅修道院的後花園,是此行中最後一個可以拍到「薰衣草+修道院」「向日葵+修道院」的場景,夥伴們別錯過。

示範片段 transcript:
Hi, today I’m going to tell you about my favourite piece of art, my favourite art piece. It is actually a painting called Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. Vincent van Gogh is actually a Dutch painter. He is from the Netherlands. And Starry Night is a magnificent art piece. It is colourful and has a profound, melancholic vibe to it. I actually first saw the painting from a movie. That movie is called Loving Vincent. It is a biographical film about the painter himself. And it came out last year. I saw the painting and in the movie, the painting was moving. Someone animated it. I think the production team animated it. As a matter of fact, I even heard about the painting way before I first saw it. I think I first heard about it in a song called Don Mclean’s Vincent. It is a song called Vincent. And it’ s sung by a singer called Don Mclean. It’s a classic golden oldie. It’s a classic song. And I like this piece of art because it’s very colourful and it’s very distinctive. It has the painter’s signature style in it. I can really see the colours popping out. And it’s very multi-dimensional. When you see it you, you will remember it instantly and you feel dazzled by the colours. And what I know about it is that the painter definitely put his blood and sweat and toil [in]to it. He took a lot of effort and he made a lot of effort to make it memorable. He used a lot of artistic techniques to make the colours pop in a way that you will remember it. I like it because it’s also a classic piece. I think I once saw it in Holland, in the Netherlands, in one of the museums. It’s definitely made an impression on me. Thank you.
