What's that ? You ask .
Or that?
They're details of the roofing of the Cathedrale of Chartres.
about 900 years is contemplating us from this height.
About the chronology of its building, click on "façade".
Old stones, lichen, for the steeple.
Copper, one particularity of the roofing.
Ce sont les détails de la toiture de la Cathédrale de Chartres.
A peu près 900 as nous contemplent de cette hauteur.
A propos de la chronologie de sa construction, clicquer sur "façade".
Vieille pierre et lichen pour le clocher le plus sobre.
Cuivre, une des particularités, pour la toiture.
We've climbed, climbed, and climbed, ...300 steps....in a stair where it was quite impossible to pass someone coming the other way. My head was spinning.
To finally, arriving at the top.
Open air (read here : a lot of wind), watching the entire medieval city down below.
Nous sommes montés, montés, montés, .... 300marches... par un escalier où il était pratiquement impossible de croisé quelqu"un. Ma tête tournait.
Pour finalement arriver à l'air libre, entendez par là beaucoup de vent.
Et profiter de la vue sur la ville médiévale en bas.
Look at these little people. It could have benn us a few minutes ago.*

RépondreSupprimerVery nice photos. Old buildings have great history.
RépondreSupprimerThat is a wonderful view. Well worth the climb. Thanks for sharing.
RépondreSupprimerThe music chosen is so calming. I'm enjoying this virtual visit to Chartres!
RépondreSupprimerThose stairs are not made for today´s tourists. When I was younger I was always going for the odd medieval teeny weeny stairs but not anymore.
RépondreSupprimerThanks for showing more pictures of the Cathedral of Chartres. It is beautiful! Is the narrow stairway there also? It reminds me of the Notre Dame Cathedral or some Gorgeous Cathedral that we walked to the top of when I was over there, I thought it was when I was in Paris. Anyway, I remember so well, the winding, narrow stairway up to the top! I might have my trips confused or else just the names of the Churches mixed up. It looks so familiar though!!! Oh well, I find myself wanting to get my pictures out and look at all the lovely things that I did see when we were there! It's making me really miss Europe a lot! Anyway,let me know about the stairs if you get a few minutes!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Catherine!
