Notre Dame de Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    "Notre Dame de Paris (French for Our Lady of Paris), also known as Notre Dame Cathedral, is a Gothic, Catholic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France. It is the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the cathedra (official chair), of the Archbishop of Paris, currently André Vingt-Trois. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in France and in Europe. It was restored and saved from destruction by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. The name Notre Dame means "Our Lady" in French, and is frequently used in the names of Catholic church buildings in Francophone countries. Notre Dame de Paris was one of the first Gothic cathedrals, and its construction spanned the Gothic period. Its sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of naturalism, unlike that of earlier Romanesque architecture. Notre Dame de Paris was among the first buildings in the world to use the flying buttress (arched exterior supports). The building was not originally designed to include the flying buttresses around the choir and nave. After the construction began and the thinner walls (popularized in the Gothic style) grew ever higher, stress fractures began to occur as the walls pushed outward. In response, the cathedral's architects built supports around the outside walls, and later additions continued the pattern. The cathedral suffered desecration during the radical phase of the French Revolution in the 1790s, when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. During the 19th century, an extensive restoration project was completed, returning the cathedral to its previous state. "

Campos Eliseos - 0 views

    "Al hablar de los Campos Elíseos de Paris, estamos hablando de la que es probablemente la Avenida más famosa del mundo, célebre para los amantes del deporte por ser el lugar donde finaliza año tras año el Tour de Francia, punto de referencia de los amantes de la moda al albergar a las principales firmas de moda, y sin lugar a dudas modelo de calle llena de vida y llena de gente tanto de día como de noche. Los Campos Elíseos comienzan al oeste de la Plaza de la Concordia, donde tras atravesar un pequeño parque nos encontramos con los primeros números de esta singular avenida, avenida que finaliza con el impresionante y robusto Arco de Triunfo, teniendo su prolongación en la Avenida de la Gran Armada (a cuyo fin en Porte Mallot encontramos el Palacio de Congresos de París) primero, y la Avenida Charles de Gaulle después, y si seguimos hacia La Defensa en línea recta llegaremos hasta el Gran Arco de la Defensa, un enorme Arco moderno cuya alineación con el Arco de Triunfo simboliza la unión del viejo y clásico París con el moderno París de las finanzas, con sede en La Defensa. Campos Eliseos Paris Por el día Los Campos Eliseos son un hervidero de gente que va/viene a/de trabajar, a hacer compras o simplemente a tomar algo en cualquiera de sus bares y terrazas (siempre orientadas hacia la calle para ver la gente pasar), pero por la noche los Campos Elíseos no duermen, ya que tanto en la avenida misma como en las calles adyacentes existen un buen número de bares y discotecas que hacen las delicias de los amantes de la fiesta hasta altas horas de la madrugada.

    "Brief History The town of Versailles sits about 20 kilometers outside of Paris. The first mention of the town and estate was in 1038, when the name appeared in a charter of the Abbey of Saint-Père de Chartres. By the end of the 11th century, Versailles was a country village Statue of Louis XIV at Versailles Statue of Louis XIV enveloping a castle and the church of Saint-Julien, remaining prosperous until well into the 13th century. After the Hundred Years War, however, only a handful of people lived there. Royal Presence In the 16th century, the Gondi family became the rulers of Versailles and the town began to gain acclaim when future King Louis XIII visited and became enamored with the site. He purchased land in the area and proceeded to build a small brick and stone lodge there in 1622. Ten years later, he became the lord of Versailles and began enlarging his lodge. Soon, he purchased more land as well as Gondi's estate. Louis XIII dies in 1643. The Sun King In 1662, the new king - Louis XIV - took an earnest interest in Versailles. Louis XIV, also known as The Sun King, distrusted the Parisians and wanted to move his Royal Residence away from the Louvre Palace, which was at the heart of constant political turbulence. The Sun King was largely responsible for the expansion that resulted in the building that still stands today. He hired architect Louis Le Vau along with artist Versailles Royal Chapel Royal Chapel Charles Le Brun to carry out the work on this Baroque masterpiece, which became the quintessential model for all palaces in Europe. Famed gardener André le Nôtre was responsible for the unequalled Versailles Garden. After Le Vau's death, Jules Hardouin- Mansart was commissioned to triple the size of the palace. Under his watchful eye, the northern and southern wings, the Orangerie, the Grand Trianon (a chateau) and the Royal Chapel were constructed. Later additions included the Opera and the Petit Trianon (a small chateau), which was built bet
