        　　38岁的刘烨，2009年与来自法国南部尼斯的安娜结为夫妻，两人生活融洽，这让他本身就成为中法关系友好的一个鲜活例子。
        　　The French Riviera has named Chinese actor Liu Ye as it "ambassador", aiming to encourage more Chinese holidaymakers to tour the South of France. The veteran actor was honored "Chevalier" medals in the Order of Arts and Letters, an honor handed out by the French government, in 2013.
        　　The 38-year-old actor married a Frenchwoman from Nice in 2009, which makes him a living embodiment of China's good relationship with France.
        　　据英国《电讯报》报道，当地政府希望通过任命刘烨蓝色海岸旅游大使这一举动，吸引更多中国游客前来蓝色海岸观光。2015年，中国赴法游客猛增50%，突破200万人次大关，到南部蓝色海岸游览的中国游客就约有9万人。戛纳市长表示，希望通过刘烨的影响力，加强对中国游客的吸引力;争取到2020年前，到蓝色海岸旅行的中国游客可达到20万人次。
        　　"The Telegraph" reports local officials hope through this kind of campaign, the figure can be boosted to 200-thousand a year by 2020. France received more than two million Chinese visitors last year, with around 90-thousand travelling to the Riviera, a 50 percent increase.
