About
クイックファクト: 薄暗い石造りの空間に響く鐘の音は、訪れる人の胸を震わせるほどの重低音で、最大の鐘は約13トンもあるんだ。屋根廻りに佇む奇妙な石像たちは単なる装飾ではなく、雨水を排す実用のために作られたうえに、遠くから見るとまるで守り神のように街並みに溶け込むよ。
ハイライト: 屋上の怪獣のような石造『ル・ストリュグ』は、19世紀にヴィオレ＝ル＝デュクが復元した彫刻で、羽をたたみ顎に手を当てて街を見下ろす姿は写真に撮ると空との対比が鮮烈だ。正面の二つの塔は高さ約69メートルで、6時や国家行事の際には重さ約13トンの『エマニュエル』鐘の低い響きが体に伝わり、石床が振動するのを感じられる。
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.
