About
Hurtige fakta: Træd ind og du kan mærke kirkeklokkernes tordnende resonans, de enorme klokker runger gennem rummet og den største vejer omkring 13 tons. Lyset fra de farvede rosetter maler gulvet i røde og blå nuancer, og de udskårne gargoyler på facaden gemmer på overraskende tekniske detaljer og historier, som ofte fascinerer førstegangsbesøgende.
Højdepunkter: Vidste du, at katedralens enorme klokke Emmanuel vejer omkring 13 tons (13.000 kg), dens dybe rungen får luften til at vibrere og kroppe til at mærke et fysisk pres i brystet når den slår ved store begivenheder som nytår og nationale ceremonier. Under glasmosaikkernes farvespil gemmer sig et orgel med fem manualer og næsten 8.000 rør, du kan høre luften susen gennem metal og mærke lavfrekvente vibrationer i gulvplankerne når organisten spiller.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 9:00 AM to beat the main crowds and move through security quickly.
- For classic views of the flying buttresses and rose window, shoot from Square Jean XXIII behind the apse.
- Wear comfortable shoes and expect narrow, uneven staircases if you plan to climb the towers.
- If tower tickets are sold out, stroll the Île de la Cité and visit Sainte-Chapelle nearby for stunning stained glass.
