Views of Paris (1) - Notre-Dame 巴黎掠影(1)—聖母院

I went to Paris with a friend from 12th to 15th July. Our first point of call was Cathédrale Notre-Dame, purely because we happened to alight at the correct Métro station! Notre-Dame has been standing in Paris, on the Ile de la Cité on River Seine, for over 800 years and took so many years to build (and restore). Its tower also provides a good vantage point to see the entire city because of its central location. I shouldn't waste more words and let the photos do the talking! Tip: Arrive early (preferably before 1000 h) to beat the flood of other tourists and the queue to climb the tower can be long! 我跟一個朋友在7月12至15日到巴黎一遊,全靠我們誤打誤撞,找對了地鐵車站下車,所以首先便參觀了聖母院。聖母院建於塞納河上城中島(Ile de la Cité),已有800多年歷史,建築及後來的復修需時多年,而且位處市中心,登上教堂塔樓便可俯瞰全巴黎景色。我無謂浪費筆墨,不如讓大家欣賞一下相片吧。 貼士/心得:最好早上10點前到達,避開人潮,登塔排隊亦要費時。 The front of Notre-Dame 聖母院正門 The interior 教堂內部 The garden of Notre-Dame 教堂後花園 The decorations on the upper parts of Notre-Dame 聖母院頂部裝飾 Paris viewed from the Tower of Notre-Dame 從聖母院塔樓俯瞰巴黎 Left: The squa
