Mon sejour en Paris ( October 14-19,2010) ②Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

After a long walk,I could manage to get to my destination....

It's gorgeous.....

Notre Dame is an imposing cathedral.

Seen close up, this building is elaborately designed and looks formidable....

The carving is exquisite. I heared many famous clergymen are carved.

Let's enter!  I'm very exiting.... 

It's an altar...It's beautiful.

They're singing in a choir...

The stained glass is beautiful.The design is unbelievable.

This is famous Rose Window.It's amazing.

Chandeliers are so beautiful....

The candle and the religious paintings create sacred atmosphere in the cathedral.

Tall arched pillars are so beautiful.

They're beyond description.

Chandeliers are very decorative,gorgeous,classical,exquisite!

They're breathtaking....

I like big stained glass window in the cathedral.They're Gothic style.

They're sacred goblets.They show the power of Roman Catholic at that time.

They're beautiful.

Today, I'm going to Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris.

I heared this is famous department store near Pont Neuf,"Samaritaine".

I heared this department store is closed since June 2005,

because this building become too old.

But there is some project to renew this department store.

Is that famous bateaux-mouches? I wanna Seine river cruise...

This is a mounted statue of Henri ⅳ(1553ー1610).

He contributed to harmony between Protestant and Catholic in France.

Beautiful scenery....
