点评:The Notre Dame Cathedral, meaning “Our Lady of Paris” is one of the most popular stops of Paris and is also one of the most famous gothic cathedrals in the world. It stands on the biggest island of Paris, île de la Cité. The construction of Notre Dame Cathedral nearly took 200 years and was said to be completed around 1345. Its two iconic towers capture the attention of the visitors at the moment they see the cathedral. The towers are 69 meters (226 feets) high and the north tower is slightly larger than the south tower. This was done intentionally to signify that only God can create perfect things. North tower also contains Emmanuel, the cathedral’s largest and most famous bell weighing over 13 tons. Emmanuel is known for its deep tone and rings for major national and religious events such as the end of WW2 or death of a pope. The famous gargoyle gallery can be seen by visiting the north tower.
Tickets for visiting the cathedral are said to open at 120 pm 2 days before the visiting time however are usually sold out before than. Tickets cost 0 euros, they are sold just to grant faster access to tourist by giving them a time frame to enter the cathedral. There are 2 different lines for visiting the cathedral one for tourists who managed to acquire a timed ticket and one for the ones who couldn’t. Both lines are pretty fast although we went to the cathedral in high season and on Saturday we waited less than 30 minutes. The security is really strict about the clothing and will not let you in if you are not dressed appropriately. For visitors visiting in summer i would advise to take a jacket with you if you are planning on wearing crops / strapless clothing.
翻译:巴黎圣母院,意为“巴黎圣母院”,是巴黎最受欢迎的景点之一,也是世界上最著名的哥特式教堂之一。它矗立在巴黎最大的岛屿——西岱岛上。圣母院的建造耗时近 200 年,据说大约在 1345 年完工。它的两座标志性塔楼在游客看到教堂的那一刻就吸引了他们的注意力。塔楼高 69 米(226 英尺),北塔略高于南塔。这样做是为了表明只有上帝才能创造完美的事物。北塔还拥有教堂最大、最著名的钟“埃马纽埃尔”,重达 13 吨多。“埃马纽埃尔”以其低沉的音调而闻名,在二战结束或教皇去世等重大国家和宗教事件时响起。参观北塔可以看到著名的石像鬼画廊。
据说参观大教堂的门票在开放参观时间前 2 天中午 12:00 开放,但通常在此之前就已售罄。门票价格为 0 欧元,出售门票只是为了给游客一个进入大教堂的时间,让他们可以更快地进入。参观大教堂有两条不同的队伍,一条是为设法获得定时票的游客准备的,另一条是为无法获得定时票的游客准备的。这两条队伍都很快,虽然我们是旺季去的大教堂,周六我们等了不到 30 分钟。安保对着装要求非常严格,如果你穿着不合适,将不让你入内。对于夏季来访的游客,我建议如果你打算穿短上衣 / 无肩带的衣服,最好带一件夹克。
