About
Brze činjenice: Karakteristična bijela fasada ostaje blistavo bijela zahvaljujući vapnencu koji izlučuje kalcit, pa kiša stalno 'pere' kamen i sprječava tamnjenje. U apsidi se prostire ogroman mozaik Krista, jedan od najvećih takvih prikaza u zemlji, koji posjetitelje često ostavlja bez daha zbog svoje skale i detalja.
Istaknuto: Bijeli kamen potječe iz kamenoloma Château-Landon, a specifični travertin izlučuje kalcit kad pada kiša, zbog čega fasada ostaje snježno bijela i gotovo svjetluca čak i nakon više od 140 godina. Unutar se od 1885. godine neprekidno održava adoracija Presvetog Sakramenta, ljudi se izmjenjuju u 24-satnim smjenama pa navečer nastaje gotovo opipljiva tišina u kojoj miris tamjana i stari vosak svijeća stvaraju posebnu, smirujuću atmosferu.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes; the dome involves roughly 300 steep steps and there is no elevator.
- Arrive at opening to beat most crowds for the dome, or 30–45 minutes before sunset for golden light but expect queues.
- Use the square in front of the basilica and the north terrace for classic Paris panoramas and framed photos; avoid shooting into midday sun.
- Skip the crypt if short on time, the nave and the vast cupola mosaic offer more visual impact for most visitors.
