When we think of Paris, we usually think of the Seine.

說到巴黎，我們通常會想到塞納河。

But did you know that once the city had another river called the Bievre?

但你知道嗎？這座城市曾經還有另一條叫做 Bievre 的河流？

It is very hard to imagine that the Bieve used to flow here.

真的好難想像 Bievre 以前是流經這裡的。

Today we will rediscover this ghost river.

今天我們要帶大家重新認識這條幽靈河流。

There was this man, Jehan Gobelin, who gave his name to this neighborhood.

有一位叫做 Jehan Gobelin 的人，他的名字就這樣被留在了這個區域。

In 1443, Jehan Gobelin decided to settle down here and to create his dying workshop.

在 1443 年，Jehan Gobelin 決定在這裡定居，並創立了他的染色工坊。

Imagine, from the Middle Ages, weavers, tanners, rag pickers, dyers, and

想像一下，從中古世紀開始，織工、鞣皮匠、拾破爛者、染工，還有

even butchers, they all relied on the Guelph's water.

甚至是屠夫，他們都仰賴著貴族之水。

We can see all the colors, especially the red color, which made this workshop very famous.

我們可以看到各種顏色，尤其是紅色，這讓這個工坊非常有名。

And just behind this window, the Bieve used to flow.

就在這扇窗戶後面，以前曾是 Bievre 河。

We don't usually think of Paris as a small village, but please look around me.

我們平常不太會把巴黎想像成一個小村莊，但請看看我周圍。

Look at all these charming little houses.

Here we are in the 13th district, at the Butte au Caille.

我們現在在第 13 區，Butte au Caille。

It sits on a hill where the Bieve flowed.

它坐落在一座曾有 Bievre 河流過的丘陵上。

In the past, it used to be watermills, it used to be fields.

以前這裡曾是水車，曾是田野。

In the 18th century, the bieve river became an open sewer, full of toxic dyes, animal remains, and

在18世紀，Bievre 河變成了一條開放的汙水溝，裡面充滿了有毒的染料、動物屍體，

So it was high time to take some actions.

所以是時候該採取一些行動了。

And the 19th century, the Baron Haussman reshaped and modernized the city of Paris with its tall buildings, new gardens, new boulevards.

到了19世紀，男爵奧斯曼（Baron Haussman）重新塑造並現代化了巴黎這座城市，蓋起了高樓大廈、新的花園和新的林蔭大道。

But this little corner of Paris remained untouched.

但巴黎的這個小角落卻保持原貌。

Because of the steep slopes and because of the soft soil, it was impossible here to build heavy construction.

因為這裡坡度陡峭，土壤鬆軟，所以不可能在這裡建造大型建築。

And by the way, this district, La Buto Caille, is very famous worldwide for street arts.

順帶一提，這個區域 La Butte aux Cailles，以街頭藝術聞名於世。

Here we are at the amazing Chateau de Versailles.

我們現在來到令人驚嘆的凡爾賽宮。

Surprisingly, this Chateau de Versailles has a direct connection with the Bieve.

令人驚訝的是，這座凡爾賽宮竟然和 Bievre 河有直接的關聯。

In the 17th century, the French King Louis XIV was so extravagant that he wanted to create fountains that would never stop flowing.

在十七世紀，法國國王路易十四非常奢華，他想要創造永不停歇的噴泉。

So engineers started to search for suits of water, and they succeeded in diverting the Bieve.

於是工程師們開始尋找水源，並成功地將Bievre河改道。

We are standing right now on the banks of the Seine at Austerlitz.

我們現在正站在奧斯特里茨的塞納河畔。

It's somewhere around here that the Bieve used to end its journey outside Paris.

Bievre河過去在巴黎外圍結束旅程，大概就在這個附近。

Some towns have reopened some parts of the Bieve.

有些城鎮重新開闢了Bievre河的一部分。

The Bieve river was fully buried in 1912, but

Bievre河在1912年被完全埋沒，但是

its traces are everywhere, shaping the cities in ways most people never notice.

它的痕跡無處不在，以大多數人從未注意到的方式塑造著城市。
