Hi Steemians!

Today i want to share my impressions and few photos of well-known place that i made.

I wanted so much to see Notre Dame de Paris in real! By this time, I could only imagine how it really looks like. So, expectation and reality...

Reading Victor Hugo's novel in my head was a lot of pictures- most of them were gloomy and covered with secrets.

I imagined a huge cathedral with a huge bell tower... in fact Notre-Dame is not so big how i expected to see but it's such a beautiful place!

The facade is decorated with magnificent statues and ornaments, but most of all I liked the large painted stained glass, which is here called "rose".

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest Gothic architectural monuments that I have seen (also I was very impressed by the St. Wita Cathedral in Prague). At the moment these two buildings are top for me!

...such a beauty! Just look!

When I went inside, I tried to imagine the characters from the famous novel, how it all happened once.This unfortunate hunchback, who was in love with a gypsy, without reciprocity, and a priest who was constantly tempted by the maiden's beauty.

A few minutes after we entered the temple, a mass began here. The church choir began singing and the sound of a mighty organ was heard. The ants ran through my body.

I had the impression that the angels were singing and not ordinary people like us. This grandiose musical instrument added some kind of mystical atmosphere and it seemed as if some miracle will happen at any moment!

It's hard to describe in words, it's better to see it with your own eyes! All I can say, Notre Dame is a place with a very powerful energy. My expectations were surpassed by what I saw.

This place will always stay in my mind and my heart!

Best wishes,

Olga:)
