Chapter 414: Cathedral of Our Lady
Walking out of the French police station, Pingo said, let's go for a look and see the center of Fort Sburg or the Cathedral of Our Lady. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The streets of Fort are exceptionally fresh and clean. There are not many pedestrians, no matter at any time, there are never as many pedestrians on the road as there are people talking in the shade of street bars, Pingguo has always been incredible, sometimes looking at a pair or several old men, they will also whisper for a long time.
Large and small canals that diverge from the Ill River extend in all directions, and the traffic of Fort runs through it.
Colorful flowers or red dog's tail grass fill the corners of the streets, and usually after one or two streets, there is a small garden for people to laugh and sit.
The ground is almost entirely a small checkered stone road, and Pingguo likes it very much, stopping from time to time to take pictures for a while.
Passing by an apparently Alsatian winery store, Pingguo couldn't help but walk in, and was immediately greeted by a handsome young man. After a few words of English conversation, Pingguo knew that people were also interested in whether the Oriental woman was from China. After receiving an affirmative reply, the young man's blue eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately went to the refrigerator to take out a beautiful long-necked bottle of wine, and poured it into a goblet. Pingguo drank it in a few sips and immediately felt dizzy.
So, Pingguo bought a bottle of Alsatian sparkling wine.
Creepers cover the Gothic buildings, making the streets green and vibrant.
Suddenly, it suddenly became clear that the Cathedral of Our Lady had arrived, and it was magnificent.
The bustling crowds, some chatting on the bar chairs in the square, some commotion to rival or commemorate the cathedral, and of course some climbing the cathedral's towers.
The Cathedrale of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, built in 1176 and completed in 1439, is made of pink sandstone from the Vosges Mountains.
On the top of the façade, with a 142-meter-high minaret on one side and a platform on the other, it was supposed to be a symmetrical minaret, but it was not built due to the limited financial resources of the time, but now it is a characteristic of Strasbourg Cathedral, which is why Strasbourg Cathedral is extremely famous.
Pingguo said, "Let's take a nap, have a drink and then climb the tower." ”
So, Ping Hanhan asked for two cups of original coffee.
European coffee is really authentic, and the taste has always been a favorite of Pingguo, especially the original one. It's always a small bite, but it's lingering.
As he was talking, he saw the 11-meter-high astronomical clock in the church start ringing.
This astronomical clock was built in 1838 and has a history of nearly 200 years. After a while, Pingguo saw the appearance of robots representing the four stages of life in children, youth, prime of life and old age, but at every hour, the Grim Reaper came out with a plate axe to announce the time, which is still accurate.
It is said that when the clock strikes at 12:30 p.m., many characters take turns to appear, creating a striking, lively, and humorous scene.
This building is one of the most important historical buildings of the Middle Ages, and it is also one of the most famous Gothic churches in Europe, and the famous French writer Victor Hugo once described this church as "an amazing building that combines size and slenderness".
Pingguo saw two gates, one was queuing, the long line was orderly, and the other was full of people going out.
Pingguo said, "Let's go, let's go to the line, shall we?"
Ping Hanhan smiled and said, "Mom, I guess I won't be able to climb the tower today." ”
Pingguo said, "Why?"
Ping Hanhan stretched out his hand to hold the bottle of sparkling wine and said, "Do you think people will let you in with this?"
Pingguo patted his head and said, "Really, why didn't you remind you when you bought it just now?"
Ping Hanhan was happy and said, "Mom's favorite, I can't bear to spoil the fun!"
Mother and daughter laughed together.
Ping Hanhan said: "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." And this Notre-Dame Cathedral is free on the first Sunday of every month. Let's check back and see if we can make it to free entry day. ”
Pinggo nodded, looking up at the 142-meter-high minaret. It is said to have been added in 1439 and the church was inaugurated in the same year, making it a spiritual symbol of the Renaissance in Strasbourg.
According to the data, the construction of the front wall of the cathedral spire began in 1277, and its round windows and stone lace are ingenious, and the three porticos are also decorated with exquisite statues, which makes Strasbourg Cathedral very famous.
The nave is ornate and elegant, with its stained-glass windows and angel pillars, as well as the intricately carved pulpit and the famous Hibermann organ.
The main entrance of the cathedral features a relief of Jesus' "Last Judgment", a finely openwork round rose window and stained glass.
So Pingguo admired it carefully.
Then, an old woman dressed as a foreigner staggered to Pingguo, stretched out a hand, and said something in her mouth.
Pingguo thought to himself, oh my God, how can there be such people everywhere? It's not that Pingguo doesn't have compassion, but he knows that these people are actually richer than her.
Ping Guo stood up and said to Ping Hanhan, "Let's go, let's go around the cathedral." ”
However, the old woman stopped them.
The old woman pointed to the relic necklace that Pingguo was wearing on her left wrist, and seemed to mumble to take it off and let her see.
Pingguo looked at Ping Hanhan, and her daughter shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand her words.
Pingguo said, "NO, NO!"
Hurrying up, it's okay to leave, Pingguo picked up the bag of sparkling wine, and began to walk.
He met the eyes of a man and a woman, heavily armed and armed with guns, and then began to look at the old woman.
The old woman immediately didn't say a word, and left, and her steps were no longer swaying.
Pingguo said: "Is the law and order environment in Fort France not good? Why are there so many riot police?"
Ping Hanhan said with a smile: "Actually, it's just like our country, there are many patrol policemen on the streets!"
Yes, it feels the same, but here, it's all submachine guns and pistols together. Isn't it possible that they are not afraid that gangsters will come to rob guns?
Turning to the right side of the cathedral and seeing a small square, Ping Hanhan said: "This place, basically every night around ten o'clock, there is a fireworks show, if you are interested, we will come and see it one day." ”
Pingguo nodded immediately. The fireworks are also bright and lonely, which is worth appreciating.
Several girls walked over and separated the mother and daughter, and one of them deliberately tripped Ping Hanhan, causing her to stumble and almost fall to the ground. Pingguo found that the zipper of the small backpack on his chest was unzipped, and hurriedly looked through it, fortunately, the wallet and passport were there, but the map of the Fort was missing.
Pingguo couldn't help but feel palpitations, the group of girls didn't stop alone, not even apologize, it was obviously a deliberate violation.
Ping Hanhan hugged Pingguo, looking timid, and said, "Mom, do you think this group of people is familiar?"
Pingguo smiled and said, "Don't be far-fetched, it shouldn't be." These girls are obviously younger. Maybe they're just overjoyed and carried away, don't worry about it! Anyway, we have nothing to lose. ”
But Pingguo is determined that in the future, in the dark, he must bring his own head.
As for whether or not to climb to the top of the tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city, the magnificent forests and mountains, it is a must, just look at the timing, anyway, everything that can be seen at that time will be unobstructed.
What the future holds, let's listen to the next breakdown.
