Spread over three floors and with a great view from the top floor, Notre-Dame Cathedral stands on the banks of the Seine, and Notre-Dame Cathedral is a celebration of the history of ancient Paris.

In the plan of the church, following the basic layout of the old church, Notre-Dame Cathedral is designed with five longitudinal cabins, including a middle cabin and two wing cabins on each side, but the scale of the whole building is much larger.

At the east end is the altar and behind it is a semicircular façade, and when you enter the basilica, you will be struck by its grandeur, with rows of large columns with a diameter of 5 meters dividing the interior into five naves, while there are two cloisters around the church of the cross and the choir.

The interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral is lined with two long columns, the two columns are very close to each other, while the roof is higher to give the impression of a narrow and towering space, giving the illusion of approaching the kingdom of heaven.

Professor Abner said: "This is deliberately designed like this, coming here to pray, is to want to talk to God, to make people feel that coming to church, is to be very close to God, to be able to be quiet, to say what is in their hearts, and the pastor will keep it secret for you, will not say what you say, this is the rule, every pastor must follow." ”

"People can come to the church and sit in the church, listen to the choir, and then after the prayer and service, they can find the pastor to answer their questions, and the pastor is familiar with the Bible, and if you have any confusion or troubles, you can ask him for advice, and the pastor will help you answer and guide you. ”

The third and topmost floor of Notre-Dame Cathedral, Hugo's bell tower, and the south bell tower at the top of the main hall of the church has a large bell weighing 13 tons, which strikes loudly.

Qu Lihua listened to the bell, and remembered Hugo's, many plots have surfaced in front of me, vivid, although the years have experienced a lot of vicissitudes, but still left a lot of cultural heritage, left to future generations, and still give us inspiration.

From the bell tower, you can overlook the picturesque scenery of Paris, with classic and modern European buildings, enjoy the scenery of the Seine, and the sightseeing boats carry tourists on the Seine.

"Let's take a trip to the Seine later, this is the mother river of Paris, France!"

"Okay!"

"Xiao Meng, tell me how you feel about coming to Notre Dame Cathedral, haven't you always wanted to come before?"

"Head Xia, the French attach great importance to the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Cathedral, we already know the importance of the Arc de Triomphe before, now I will summarize the importance of Notre Dame Cathedral. ”

"Okay, you can talk about it!" said Captain Xia Yuxiang with a smile and encouragement to Meng Wenjie.

"Notre-Dame Cathedral is located in the core of Paris, the city's development is around the Île de la Cité, and as a focus on the outward development of concentric circles, in addition, Notre-Dame Cathedral integrates classical and modern Parisian architectural features, and gradually becomes the center of religion, art and tourism in France, the French set the entrance of Notre-Dame Cathedral as the origin, and then calculate the coordinates of other cities in France from this, so when people stand in front of Notre-Dame, that is, they are in the center of France, you can imagine how important the position of Notre-Dame Cathedral in the hearts of the French people. ”

"Hehe, it's a good summary, there's progress!"

"This is all what Professor Abner told me, I want to thank Professor Abner for telling the story, his historical knowledge is really profound, Dean Zhang is really the right person!"

"Hahaha, of course, Professor Abner is a professor of history and a professor of economics, he has two degrees and he is very successful in his field of expertise, and we would like to thank Professor Abner for taking us on a tour of this famous place in France these days. ”

"Everyone is polite, when I went to China, Dean Zhang and Head Xia also took me to visit many scenic spots in China, I can still remember that President Zhang and Head Xia took me to the Great Wall of China, to the Forbidden City, to Xi'an to visit the Terracotta Warriors, and also took me to Hangzhou to see the West Lake, to Suzhou to see the Hanshan Temple. ”

"He also took me to eat Chinese food, and the Chinese food is so delicious, I am still impressed. ”

"I also like China very much, we have established a friendship, I feel very happy, very happy, and I hope this friendship will continue!"

"Let's go and see the Seine as originally planned, and get to know this mother river of France, I can guarantee that it is different from the rivers you see in other countries, we have our French style, and feel the romance of our France. ”

"Good!" everyone laughed, looking forward to going to see it, blowing the wind and seeing the scenery of the river, it was really a great pleasure.

The Seine is the great river of northern France, it is one of the historically significant rivers in Europe, its drainage network accounts for most of the traffic of domestic river navigation in France, since the early Middle Ages, Paris was established on some of the main crossings of the river, the interdependence of the river and the city is close and inseparable.

Professor Abner led everyone out of Notre-Dame Cathedral and to the Seine, pointing to the great river and talking about its origin, which originates in the Langlais plateau in the Cordor region of Burgundy and is still a stream when it flows through the porous limestone village of Châtillon.

"If you want to know a big river, you must know its origin, its geographical location and flow, so that we can understand it clearly, and I will give you a detailed introduction below. ”

It flows from Burgundy to the north-west into Champagne above Troyes, where it is a fortified gully on the dry chalk plateau of Champagne, flows to meet the River Orb near Romiy, and widens the valley when it flows west towards Montero, where it receives the Jonah from the left bank.

It turns northwest and crosses the Île-de-France in a gully-like valley to Paris, passing through Melun and Corbet, and when it enters Paris, joins its great tributary, the Marne, on the right bank, and then joins the Oise on the right bank after meandering through the metropolis.

Qu Lihua asked, "Professor Abner, when the river passes through Paris, will the current still be very fast?"

Professor Abner said: "By passing through Paris, the Seine had been trimmed, the channel between the quays had narrowed, and it flowed along a winding channel, and under Mount Trajoli it crossed Normandy to the mouth of the Channel, which opened up rapidly and through Doncavell to Le Havre. ”

"We should also note that there is also a limestone plateau here, which runs from its source to Paris, and the Seine flows through a series of young sedimentary rocks, concentric areas of filled tectonic basins, the center of which is the limestone plateau that surrounds Paris. ”

Meng Wenjie asked, "Where do they enter the sea after they flow through Paris?"

"Below Paris, the lower Seine channel flows into the sea in a northwesterly direction, following the course of the line of structural weakness affecting the northern part of the basin," said Professor Abner. ”

"The English Channel, on the north side of the basin, breaks its symmetry, breaks the integrity of the concentric zone, and the Seine is still flowing into the sea in the chalk. ”

Commander Xia Yuxiang looked straight ahead, and he told the members that the Seine River was gentle, obviously seaworthy, and more seaworthy because of its general regularity, and the Paris Basin through which it flowed was the richest agricultural region in France, and the Seine River flowed from the southeast to the northwest of the basin, to the flat area in the middle of the basin, and the flow slowed down, forming a meandering river, passing through the center of Paris.

Paris is gradually developed on the island of the Seine and its two banks, the city of Paris along the Seine River more than 10 kilometers are stone piers and wide embankments, there are more than 30 exquisite bridges across the river, high-rise buildings are arranged on both banks, the reflection into the water, the scenery is very beautiful and spectacular.
