[France/Strasbourg] The towering symbol of the city: Notre Dame Cathedral

#OverseasSeasonalPlaces #Strasbourg In December, I visited Strasbourg for the Christmas market. I was curious about the majestic cathedral towering over the market, so I went there! I was right to go◎It has an overwhelming scale and a strong presence! I will introduce the symbol of Strasbourg, Notre-Dame Cathedral◎ I just dropped in aimlessly, but I was overwhelmed by the precise design of the exterior walls and the high ceilings inside, and it is a building that is the epitome of Gothic architecture! Large tapestries are hanging in a row facing the central chapel. The windows that let in bright light are stained glass, and the scale of the windows is also amazing! ! The pipe organ installed on the ceiling is a cute cocoon shape◆ using colors that evoke Alsace culture. The astronomical clock, which is one of the largest in the world, is also a highlight◎ The exterior walls of the building look red, but this is because they are made of red stone called "rosy sandstone" from the Vosges Mountains. ⛪️Spot name: Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg 📍Location: Pl. de la Cathédrale, 67000 Strasbourg, France 🕰️Opening hours: Monday-Friday 9:00-13:00, 14:00-17:00 *Entry to the general public is restricted during mass hours🚫Check the mass times on the official website. 💰Admission fee: None (free) *Additional paid options available 🚉Access from nearby stations: About 15 minutes on foot from Strasbourg Station About 5 minutes on foot from Langstroth Grand Cru Station #European travel #France #Notre-Dame Cathedral
