沙特尔大教堂

沙特尔大教堂两个钟楼不对称，教堂入囗的人物雕刻细瘦，衣饰有“曹衣出水”的风格。圣坛周围的雕塑是耶稣的一生，连环画一样，很明确好懂，大部分故事我看明白了，真稀罕。

宏伟的大教堂，特别是沙特尔蓝，非常炫目。第一次，教堂在维护，没能亲见著名蓝，不免遗憾。或许就是这份遗憾，让我今年再次回到那里，值得！丰富的介绍，Bonus！

融合了罗马式与哥德式的建筑，中世纪教会建筑的杰作之一。展望台远眺田园风光和市街景致，洗涤心灵的尘埃。建筑样式表现出优雅庄严之美，还有它雕刻艺术之精细。当阳光透过彩绘玻璃投射之影像，仿佛天使降临之圣灵充满。第一次造访时间是1995年4月复活节的隔日，弥撒礼拜的程序单还留在椅背，随手拿了一张留作纪念。

外面很美～ 传说中的彩绘玻璃 因为我去的时候已经休息了没看到不过遇到了他们夏夜晚风的音乐活动!听了几首不错天黑之后 还有一些light of chartres的夜景灯光秀推荐！ 去看过里面的 应该会更惊艳吧!

我想花一段时间好好的参观一下这个世界最伟大之一的教堂--沙特尔大教堂。对于一个生活在高楼林立的年代的人,很难想象如此规模的教堂,最初是出自中世纪的朝圣者之手。建筑的内部非常宏伟,那些古老的彩色玻璃窗,是我参观过的大教堂中最漂亮的。与同时代的建筑比起来的话,那里也是十分优秀的。唱诗班席位上的雕像,是这里另一个动人的细节。我们花了96元登上教堂顶端的钟塔去看风景。不过那要经过一段很长的攀爬,而且顶部只有一个很窄的阳台。所以比起你必须忍受的高度带来的眩晕感,是很不值得的。

沙特尔天主大教堂简直太壮观了,这是我见过的最漂亮的天主教堂了,难怪这里是联合国教科文组织宣布的世界文化遗产呢。大教堂最有名的就是瑰丽的玻璃窗了,这里号称是"圣女面纱"之家,所以这里有块白布供大家参观。想知道更多我们旅游的信息,去博客上看看吧:http://justanothertravelblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/chartres-and-back-to-paris.html

我花在沙特尔大教堂的时间比我原先计划的还要长,但我真的是不能自已,我都等不及哪天想再去一次了。沙特尔大教堂坐落在一座小山上,从远处就能看到,升起来的时候就像是一艘从地平线缓缓上升的小船。每当夏天向日葵盛开的时候,开车从这片花丛经过,看着那被鸟语花香包围着的教堂,那感觉,真美。镇上有一位有名的英国老人,他住在一幢老房子里,主要为大家做这个教堂的向导,他机智又刻薄,但学识很渊博,所以我还是建议大家找找他,这样才能更透彻地了解这个教堂。参观教堂的时候不妨买几本向导手册看一看,当然了,如果能有一把双筒望远镜或是摄像机的话,那么你的教堂之旅会更有意思。教堂塔顶的风景真的太棒了。抬头仰望天空,就会看见浮云一朵一朵地飘过,这是你会强烈地感觉到好像教堂在移动,而你似乎要摔倒似的。你朝水平方向望去,那景色也十分迷人。夜晚你可以呆在离教堂(伊夫圣之家)大约100米的地方静静地观看夜色中的沙特尔大教堂。这个小镇本身就是一个让人愉悦的地方,旧城区的修复也做得很不错。如果你对这儿的景色还抱有迷恋的话,那么就到处走走看看吧。教堂的窗户真的太漂亮了。从教堂外部的翻新中,你大概可以看出教堂的颜色,龙雕上有些许的绿色。在我看来,这趟沙特尔大教堂之旅非常值得我从巴黎大老远地赶来,而且在这儿呆上几天,好好了解一下这个美丽的教堂真的会让人身心愉悦。

2009年八月的时候,我们从巴黎启程去沙特尔,独自旅行一天,而且度过了一段很棒的时光。搭乘地铁,然后坐火车从巴黎启程,没法再简单了。一到达沙特尔,还需要走很短的一段路才能到达大教堂。我们带着自动导向的语音导游装置,并认为沙特尔大教堂是我们旅程中的一个亮点--卓越无比的彩色玻璃和建筑风格。我们还在市区里走了走,非常享受这段旅程。

沙特尔教堂能给你一种绝妙的古迹的感觉,在我看来,只有罗马的教堂能与之媲美。这些染色玻璃窗绝对是这里最主要的吸引物,而Malcolm Miller先生是为你进行解说的最佳人选。他的导览十分专业但同时充满了个人色彩,所以你对于他对美国的政治、无神论及其政治正确性等等观点比较敏感的话,就别太把它们当回事。一定不要错过那极其神圣的、令人印象深刻的宽阔地下室 - 1791年革命破坏者烧毁了一座复制品。门票可在SE广场末端到教堂之间的纪念品商店买到,只向参与法国游的人出售。教堂里同时保存着圣卡米萨 - 圣母玛利亚的服装,同时也是最重要的基督教文物之一。

We took the train up from Paris to see this wonderful building, having been advised that they were cleaning it. Well yes, they are, but not as well as one would have hoped.The last time I saw it , over 30 years ago, it was traffic blackened, and very dark inside as well.What the cleaning has done externally has really improved the appearance and the sculptures can now be seen and admired for all the thought and skill that put them there. A wonderful improvement.Inside, it is totally different. The wonderful Stained Glass, for which the Cathedral is famous is truly magnificent and really something to sit and wonder at. So much colour and such fine detail. But the stonework left us really uncertain, having watched the cctv of the operatives doing the work on the scaffold above us. It looks to be very carefully skimmed with a plaster type substance, then painted a freestone colour with the mortar joints picked out in a darker colour. Some of the columns are painted, what looks to be an imitation Marble effect and quite garish in places,As far as we could understand from our very poor translation of French into English, it is taking the appearance back to earlier times, but we felt that it looks and feels false and did not do anything to improve the appearance when we saw it all those years ago, although it is now light and airy.We need to google it to see what is really happening, and get a better understanding of the cleaning/painting process, for we know that the trouble and care that the French give to their great public buildings and monuments would do nothing to harm their authenticity, but I was, never the less, quite disappointed

My brother and I rented a car for the day and wanted to go some place different outside Paris. We picked up the car in Versailles (to avoid crazy Parisian drivers) and drove to Chartres without really knowing what to expect. It was an easy, short drive mostly on the motorway (there are tolls-cheaper leaving Paris than returning). The medieval cathedral was incredible (and free!). The stained glass is beyond description, the colors glorious! The choir carvings have to be seen. It is a massive structure. The cathedral sits on a hill in the middle of the medieval city and there is parking very close by. The streets around the cathedral are also very old with quaint shops (that close for lunch) and antiquated houses. Be sure to walk around the cathedral to see the different facades and sit in the garden behind it overlooking the city to catch your breath.

I learned some time ago that if you want to view a Cathedral - Start at the back. It is there that you can see the bulk of the work, the structure, and what is holding it up. I stood for a long time looking at the 2 different front towers. The right one looked singularly plain and the left - a bit too ornate. I wondered why, 'so different?' Most cathedrals concentrate on symmetry - not so here.The exterior I noticed has most of the statues and attractions within view of the church goers. Relatively, on the exterior there are few adornments 'on high'; but below there are thousands. It makes you wonder if the stone cutters were paid 'by the statue,' for I think you would be lucky if you could 'squeeze' on another one.However, inside the huge vertical pillars and the stain glass are immediately noticeable. As we all know the coloured glass was to the instruct the 'Faithful,' but most 'pictures' really are difficult to make out. Personally I like the modern colored glass which goes more for the effect - that too would also help enlighten the interior.Okay, Florence, Milan of Chartres? Yes they are magnificent - aren't they!

Yes, the stained glass and the carvings, sculpture, and reliefs are breathtaking, but if you go on a Friday between spring and late fall, you can walk the labyrinth, which is your lifetime journey in a nutshell. Check the website for the window of opportunity.

Beyond my expectations....if you want to walk the labrynith know its not always possible...the chairs are usually removed on Fridays.

built 1194 - 1220 , this is a very impressive buildingthe stained glass were disassembled during the ww2 and kept out of the reach of bombs, and are the most beautiful of the worldthe blue of the glass is uniquei d say the cathedral of chartres is one of the 7 - 8 more beautiful buildings to see in France, on your way between paris and the chateaux de la loire
