点评:We visit so many French churches and cathedrals that they tend to blend into each other. I enjoy them all thus mostly don't review them because I find it too hard to "rank" them or identify their outstanding features. However, if you are in Senlis (a medieval town - close to Paris and Charles de Gaulle Airport - with Gallo-Roman walls, interesting walks (you could miss out on tour C), old town architecture, restaurants, etc) then the cathedral is probably my first recommendation to visit. It has lovely stained glass and the Chapel of the Virgin has beautiful blue and gold vaulted ceilings.
What particularly stood out for me this time were placards (in French) displaying the features of 7 Picardy cathedrals (Senlis, Laon, St-Quentin, Soissons, Beauvais, Amiens and Noyon) comparing the glass rose windows, facades, pillars, vaulted ceilings, frameworks, chevets (which are the semicircular, radiating eastern end with an ambulatory and chapels (I didn't know that)) and their plans.
Oh, and in any town, do visit a cathedral if they have one - usually they are free, cool in summer, dry in rain as well as being amazing architecture. I've never regretted it!
翻译:我们参观了太多法国教堂和大教堂,以至于它们彼此之间都融为一体。我很喜欢它们,所以基本上不会对它们进行评论,因为我觉得很难对它们进行“排名”,也很难找出它们的亮点。不过,如果你在桑利斯(一座中世纪小镇,靠近巴黎和戴高乐机场,拥有高卢罗马城墙、有趣的步道(你可能会错过C线路)、老城区建筑、餐厅等等),那么我推荐你首先参观的是大教堂。它拥有美丽的彩色玻璃,圣母教堂则拥有美丽的蓝色和金色拱形天花板。
这次让我印象特别深刻的是一些法语标语牌,上面展示了皮卡第七座大教堂(桑利斯、拉昂、圣康坦、苏瓦松、博韦、亚眠和努瓦永)的特色,并比较了玻璃玫瑰窗、立面、柱子、拱形天花板、框架、回廊(半圆形,向东辐射,带有回廊和小教堂(我之前不知道))以及它们的平面图。
哦,对了,无论去哪个城市,只要有大教堂就一定要去参观——通常它们免费参观,夏天凉爽,雨天也干燥,而且建筑风格也令人惊叹。我从未后悔过!
