RE: Notre Dame Cathedral Rouen France
I’ve never really been too interested in churches, but went to Paris a couple years ago and, of course, visited Notre Dame... loved it!
The character, grandeur, and vibe in that space... no words to describe.
Visited a few other churches in the city and also in Italy (including the Vatican), but Notre Dame was my favourite by far. It was an odd time to visit as that’s when the terrorist attacks in Spain happened so there were tons of military & cops surrounding the place, but the magnificence of that building... such a beautiful work of art... 💗
I wasn't into churches either, until I recently moved to France. In Canada (Ontario) where I'm from originally, we dont have many impressive churches and certainly none of gothic style architecture. I have been impressed here though. The churches are massive and ornately decorated. I really like the architecture. Though now that I have seen quite a few I am noticing that they are all very similar, so the novelty will wear off soon I'm sure. I'm guessing that the Notre Dame cathedral that you saw was actually the one in Paris? I haven't seen that one yet but plan to this Saturday actually. It won't be the same now though since the fire this year. You are lucky to have seen it when you did.
