Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris
Notre-Dame de Paris is called Our Lady of Paris.
Notre-Dame de Paris, known as Our Lady of Paris, is one of the most enduring and symbolic monuments of the French capital and is among the most celebrated cathedrals in Europe.
She was built in the 12th and 13th centuries and is considered one of the world’s finest examples of Gothic architecture, thanks to its pioneering use of rib vaults and flying buttresses, as well as its striking stained-glass rose windows.
巴黎聖母院被稱為巴黎小姐，這意味著她一直是法國首都最持久和最具象徵意義的古蹟之一，並且是歐洲最著名的大教堂之一。建於12和13世紀，得益於其最早使用的肋骨式拱頂和扶壁以及醒目的彩色玻璃玫瑰窗，被認為是世界上最好的哥特式建築之一。
Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris is one of my favorite spots in Paris.
“Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris” is located on the Île de la Cité in Paris and is open to the public free of charge. Visitors can explore the stunning interior of the church, which is why Notre-Dame has become one of the must-see attractions in the city.
Notre Dame was built in 1163 and serves as the religious center of Paris. Its long history has witnessed many significant events, such as the trial of Joan of Arc, the coronation ceremonies of Henry VI and Napoleon I, among others. It truly is the heart of Paris.
It is also the source of the theme of Hunchback of Notre Dame, a famous novel by the French author Victor Hugo.
“CathédraleNotre Dame de Paris”位於巴黎的 île de la Cité，並向所有人免費開放，所有遊客都可以看到內部壯觀的教堂，這就是為什麼巴黎圣母院已成為巴黎必看景點之一的原因。 巴黎聖母院始建於1163年，是巴黎的宗教中心，其悠久的歷史見證了許多歷史事件，例如聖女貞德的名譽審判，亨利六世和拿破崙一世的加冕典禮等……這是巴黎的心臟 巴黎。它也是法國著名作家雨果（Hugo）的《 The Hunchback Of Notre Dame》主題的來源。
the Gothic architectural style
The entire building exemplifies the Gothic architectural style.
It has a long history and was significantly damaged during the French Revolution in the 19th century; however, it was completely renovated by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.
Nowadays, it has become one of the most masterful churches in the world. Inside the church, you can see many elements reinterpreted by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, such as gargoyles.
整個建築屬於“哥特式建築形式” 。它歷史悠久，在19世紀的法國大革命期間遭到嚴重破壞。 但是，它是由 Eugène Viollet-le-Duc 完全翻修的。如今已成為世界上最傑作的教堂。 在教堂內部，您可以看到 Eugène Viollet-le-Duc 重新詮釋了很多元素，例如石像鬼。
Looking at the church from the rear, you can see the pointed rib vault, which is completely different from the front. No matter which side you view Notre Dame from, I believe you will be awed by its majestic appearance and intricate details, just as I was.
從後面看教堂，你會看到尖銳的肋骨拱頂，與前面完全不同。無論你從哪一邊看巴黎聖母院，我都相信你會像我一樣被他雄偉的外表和細緻的細節所震驚。
Interior of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris
The cathedral was immortalized in popular culture by Victor Hugo in his Gothic novel, *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*, which was later adapted into a Disney film. Therefore, I believe it will never fade from the minds of Parisians.
Step inside the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, and you will be transported into a realm of Gothic grandeur and timeless spirituality. The interior of this iconic cathedral is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, adorned with awe-inspiring details that captivate visitors from the moment they enter.
維克多·雨果（Victor Hugo）在Gothic小說《巴黎圣母院（The Hunchback of Notre Dame）》中通過流行文化使這座大教堂永垂不朽，後來又改成迪斯尼電影，因此我相信它永遠不會消失在每個巴黎人的腦海中。
走進巴黎聖母院，你會進入到一個哥德式宏偉和永恆靈性的境界。這座標誌性大教堂的內部是中世紀建築的傑作，裝飾著令人驚嘆的細節，從進入的那一刻起就吸引著遊客。
The Nave: A Journey Through History
The expansive nave, adorned with its towering columns and ribbed vaults, evokes a profound sense of grandeur and solemnity. Sunlight streams through the magnificent stained-glass windows, casting vibrant patterns on the stone floor—a breathtaking spectacle that highlights the artistry of medieval craftsmen. As you stroll through the nave, take a moment to appreciate the intricate carvings and statues, each narrating a story from the Bible or Christian tradition.
寬敞的中殿裝飾著高聳的柱子和肋狀拱頂，給人一種深刻的宏偉和莊嚴的感覺。陽光透過宏偉的彩色玻璃窗照射進來，在石頭地板上投射出充滿活力的圖案——這令人驚嘆的奇觀凸顯了中世紀工匠的藝術才華。當你走過中殿時，可以花點時間欣賞複雜的雕刻和雕像，每一個都講述聖經或基督教傳統的故事。
The Rose Windows: A Kaleidoscope of Light
One of the most striking features of the cathedral’s interior is the trio of rose windows. These massive circular stained-glass windows are adorned with vibrant depictions of saints, prophets, and biblical scenes. The South Rose, often regarded as the finest, dates back to the 13th century and continues to be a highlight for all who visit.
大教堂內部最引人注目的特徵之一是三個玫瑰窗。這些巨大的圓形彩色玻璃窗裝飾著對聖人、先知和聖經場景的生動描繪。南玫瑰通常被認為是最好的玫瑰，其歷史可以追溯到 13 世紀，並且仍然是所有參觀者的一大亮點。
Notre Dame is more than just a symbol; it embodies the soul of France.
As you can see, the image depicts the fire that was discovered at 6:43 PM local time at the base of the spire, which was constructed of wood and lead in the 19th century. However, the flames quickly spread to the cathedral’s ribbed roof, composed of hundreds of oak beams, some of which date back to the 13th century.
The 500 firefighters at the scene worked tirelessly to prevent the flames from reaching the two belfry towers, where the cathedral bells are housed. Miraculously, they managed to save the structure. Gabriel Plus, a spokesman for the Paris fire service, stated, “We are satisfied and grateful that, by risking their lives, the firefighters safeguarded the integrity of the two belfries and the towers.”
Monseigneur Michel Aupetit, the Archbishop of Paris, stated, “When we arrived yesterday evening, we wanted to cry, and people were crying around us because Notre Dame is a symbol; more than a symbol, it is the soul of France.”
如你所見，在當地時間6.43pm在尖塔的底部發現了火，這個尖塔是用木頭建造的，於19世紀所建造。 由於火焰迅速蔓延到大教堂的肋骨屋頂，屋頂由數百根橡木橫梁組成，有些勝制可以追溯到13世紀。
現場的500名消防員進行了戰鬥，以防止火焰到達教堂鐘聲懸掛的兩個鐘樓。 他們奇蹟般地保存了巴黎消防局發言人加布里埃爾·普拉斯（Gabriel Plus）所說的建築物：“我們感到滿意和感激，因為他們冒著生命危險[消防員]保護了兩個鐘樓的結構，即塔樓。”
巴黎大主教大臣米歇爾·奧佩蒂特（Michel Aupetit）說：“昨天晚上到達時，我們想哭，人們在哭泣，因為巴黎圣母院是一個像徵。 不僅僅是像徵，它是法國的靈魂。”
Make an appointment
Now, there are too many people visiting Notre Dame that if you want to go to the top, standing in line is not an option; you must make an online appointment before you go. Therefore, I am going to share how to make an online appointment.
現在有太多的人來巴黎聖母院參觀，如果你想登頂，那麼排隊並不是唯一的辦法，你必須在出發前進行網上預約。 因此，在這邊我要分享我如何進行在線預約。
Step 1 : download APP
Step 2
Open the app, and you will see two options. However, please select the second option.
打開App，可以有兩個選項； 然而，選擇第二個選項。
Note
Please note that you can choose your visit time starting from 7 AM.
Be cautious; you can only make an appointment on the same day, which means you cannot schedule an appointment for the day before.
I suggest that you do it in the morning because it’s easy to become overwhelmed in the afternoon. In my experience, the app was full when I opened it around two o’clock in the afternoon.
After you make an appointment, it will display the estimated wait time and the number of people ahead of you.
The app will vibrate to remind you in 20 minutes.
注意：你可以從每7點開始選擇參訪時間。 注意，你只能在當天預約！ 無法在前一天預約。我建議你應該早上7點就可以打開app預約。 因為下午很容易預約不到。 就像我的經驗一樣，當我下午兩點左右打開應用程序時，就已經滿了。
預約後，它會顯示你應該等待的時間以及你前面還有多少人。到20分鐘前時，該應用程序將震動以提醒你。
Before 10 minutes
The app screen will display the status of the QR code, allowing staff to scan it for your entry. I recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time.
Why? Because one time, I arrived 2-3 minutes early, and the QR code disappeared, which meant I had to book the appointment again.
If your situation is as bad as mine, you will need to try again another day. The app will indicate that the number of queues is full, and appointments will not be accepted when you open it.
在時間抵達的前10分鐘，APP屏幕將轉換為QR碼狀態，以便工作人員掃描輸入。
我建議你在10分鐘之前到達。 因為有一次，我早於時間2-3分鐘到達，QR碼消失了，表示我不得不再次預約。如果你的情況和我的一樣糟糕，則必須改天在預約了。 因為該應用程序會顯示隊列數已滿，而且打開它時，他不再接受預約
Going upstairs
After going upstairs, you will first arrive at the floor of the ticket office, which is also where souvenirs are sold.
On the right is the entrance to the ticket office, while on the left is an entrance enclosed by a chain, which provides access to the top.
上樓後，你會先到達售票處的樓層，這裡也是出售紀念品的地方。
右邊則是售票處的入口，左邊是一條被鏈條環繞到達頂部方式的入口。
Remember, if you want to buy souvenirs, you need to purchase them here. There will be no other places to buy souvenirs once you leave. Some people will sit in chairs to wait for the next entrance to open.
請記住，如果你想購買一些紀念品，則必須在這裡購買。 因為當你離開時，將不再有出售紀念品的地方。有些人會坐在旁邊的椅子上，等待下一個入口打開。
Next entrance
After approximately ten minutes, a lady will assist you in tearing your ticket on the right-hand side of the entrance.
大約十分鐘後，會有一位女士幫助驗票。
Continue ascending the stairs. It is said that there are 387 steps to the summit!
然後就繼續爬樓梯啊。據說到頂樓有387階！
Monster Corridor
Before you reach the top, you will first pass through the you will encounter many stone ghosts. When I see this view, I feel it was worth climbing those stairs to be here in this moment.
在到達山頂之前，你需要先穿過“ Monster Corridor”，在這裡你將看到許多石鬼。
當我看到這風景時，我覺得這時我爬上那些樓梯來到那是值得的。
Top of tower
Climb to the Towers for a Panoramic View
While the interior is captivating, don’t miss the opportunity to climb to the towers for a breathtaking view of Paris. Along the way, you’ll encounter the famous gargoyles and chimera, whose stone faces have watched over the city for centuries.
爬上塔樓欣賞全景
雖然教堂內部令人著迷，但真的不要錯過爬上塔樓欣賞巴黎壯麗景色的機會。一路上，你會遇到著名的石像鬼和奇美拉，它們的石頭面孔幾個世紀以來一直守護著這座城市。
the left is entrance, the right one is export
Overall
The cathedral is often regarded as the epitome of French cathedrals, boasting one of the longest and most illustrious histories. For many Parisians, this 850-year-old landmark is, quite simply, the heart of their city, with its two Gothic square towers rising majestically above the surrounding buildings along the Seine River.
The former mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, could barely conceal his emotion as he stated, “It’s an inestimable loss … Notre-Dame de Paris must endure. We must not resign ourselves to this … this is the heritage of all humanity.”
Our Lady of Paris, Notre Dame, will require our patience for years to come. Until then, her ruins should serve as a reminder of the fragility of our history. I hope she will also inspire a new generation to learn the dying crafts that will ultimately lead to her restoration and preserve the artistry. Here’s to our Notre Dame, who will continue to inspire even in her darkest moments.
它是法國大教堂的大教堂，對許多巴黎人來說，是歷史最長，最豐富的歷史之一，具有850年曆史的地標只是他們城市的中心地帶，其兩座哥特式方形塔樓高聳於沿河的周圍建築物之上。
巴黎前市長貝特朗·德拉諾（BertrandDelanoë）幾乎無法掩飾自己的悲傷說：“這是一筆不可估量的損失……巴黎圣母院必須重生。 我們一定不要屈服於此……這是全人類的遺產。”
我們的巴黎女士巴黎圣母院（Notre Dame），將需要我們多年的耐心。 在此之前，她的受損提醒著我們歷史的脆弱性。 我希望她還將激勵新一代學習垂死的手工藝品，這些手工藝品最終將使她恢復健康並保持藝術性。 這是我們的巴黎圣母院，即使在她最黑暗的時刻，她也將繼續激發靈感
