Each settlement has its first object, from which its historical existence begins. Paris also has such a place, and it is very unusual, since it is a real island located in the city. It is called Sita, and in ancient times it was only possible to reach him with the help of a boat.
But now nine bridges have been laid to it, which were built at different times, so visiting this unique beautiful place is not a problem. Bridges appeared in different eras, and therefore, not yet hitting the island, it is possible to judge how the city gradually developed.
The most popular is the “New”, although it has long celebrated its 400th anniversary. And if you go on a journey through the oldest bridge Arsheves, a pleasant surprise awaits travelers: from it you can admire the Cathedral of Notre Dame. True, not by the facade, but by the rear, but it is as magnificent as the whole grand structure.
Since the settlements arose here in ancient times, they had a lot to build historic luxurious buildings. But many were lost in the XIX century. The culprit was the prefect Baron Osman, who served during the reign of Napoleon III. Fortunately, many buildings have survived, of which not only Parisians are proud, but the whole country.
For example, this is Notre Dame de Paris. His magnificent description remained in the writings of V. Hugo, but, of course, it is better to see everything with my own eyes. It amazes everyone here - starting from awe-inspiring feelings, just walking up to the gate of the building, and then looking at the unique luxurious stained glass windows in the temple.
Travelers strive to get into the southern tower of the cathedral, despite the fact that they will have to work hard, breaking 402 steps. But there is the most beautiful observation deck, from where many leave, dreaming of returning again, once again admiring the amazing panorama.
And just below the tourists, the predatory chimeras are guarding the gallery. It is believed that they are the personification of many human weaknesses and sins.
There will be a meeting here with gargoyles. By the way, there is one trick here. If the chimeras are in the cathedral as decorative elements, then the scary dragon-like monsters - gargoyles - retain the building, saving it from excessive water flows during the rains. All moisture enters the mouth and pours far beyond.
Thus, both the foundation and the walls, and most importantly, the main relics of Christianity, are preserved. After all, it is here that the particle and nail of the Holy Cross and the Crown of Thorns are located.
At first, St. Louis decided that these shrines should be located in Sainte Chapelle, but the chapel still became famous for having 15 stained glass windows from the 13th century. Located near the royal castle and one of the darkest and most terrible French prisons. An informative tour will help you to feel what prisoners felt in the dungeons and how they dreamed of freedom.
What is glorious island.
Here are the Palace of Justice and the police prefecture - also solid and beautiful buildings.
There are monuments and monuments:
- King, who achieved the unification of Christians, - Charlemagne;
- the victims of the Nazi camps. Exists since 1962;
- the policemen who freed Paris.
And on one of the bridges everybody is greeted by an equestrian statue, which was made by order of Louis XIII, so that his father would not be forgotten.
Rest on the island in the designated areas. This is the square of Ver Galan or a very small but popular Dauphin Square.
You can go on a small romantic trip on the river tram. But, by the way, the whole island is shrouded in a romantic atmosphere, that's why many Parisians and numerous tourists visit it. love-models.net
