Hi!!!We (Katia,Fiza,Sumirtha,Chloé and Roxane) are going to talk about Notre Dame De Paris, one of the most famous monument in France.
Notre Dame De Paris was one of the first Gothic Cathedrals, and its construction spanned the Gothic period. Its sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of Naturalism, giving them a more secular look that was lacking from earlier Romanesque architecture.
The cathedral suffered desecration during the radical phase of the French Revolution in the 1790s, when much religious imagery was damaged or destroyed.
N-D de Paris was restored and saved from destruction by "Viollet-Le-Duc",one of the France's most famous architects.The name "Notre Dame De Paris" means "Our Lady" in French.
N-d de Paris measures 41 m in width,43 m in height from the base of the towers and 63 m at the top towers.
There are five bells at N-D de paris. The great bourdon bell, Emmaunel, is located in the South Tower, weights just over 13 tons, and is tolled to swing chimed. These bells are rung for various services and festivals. The bells were once rung manually
but are currently rung by electric motors. The bells also have external hammers for tune playing from a smaller clavier.
During its history, N-D de paris has been the site of numerous official and other ceremonial occasions, these include :
-1239: the crown of Thorns placed in the cathedral by St Louis during the construction of Sainte Chapelle.
-1430: Henri IV of England is crowned here.
-2/12/1804: Napoleon seizes the crown from the pontif and crowns first himself, then Josephine.
-31/05/1980: After the Magnificat of this day Pope John Paul II celebrates mass on the parvis in front of the cathedral.
