【大美广东】The story of Guangzhou-France relations over 300 years began with this mysterious merchant ship

广州与法国300多年的故事，由这艘神秘商船开启

French President Emmanuel Macron paid a state visit to China from April 5 to 7. He went to Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou on April 7.

Since Macron took office as President, this is his third visit to China but first arrival in Guangzhou.

Given the vital role Guangzhou plays in China-France ties, which started with a parchment ship over 300 years,  Macron visited Guangzhou.

法国总统马克龙于4月5日至7日对中国进行国事访问，此间他赴广东省广州市参观访问。4月7日下午，马克龙前往中山大学与学生进行交流。

这是马克龙履任总统后的第三次访华，第一次来到广东广州。

为什么是广州？在中国和法国交往的故事里，广州扮演了什么角色？这，要从300多年前的一艘商船说起。
