Yes, it really was! Thanks for watching :)

We personally took the car but there is a direct bus from the centre of Cardiff (the 320) which takes around 25 minutes and then you'll have to walk for around ten minutes to reach the museum. Public transport in Wales has this official site you can use to plan journeys: www.traveline.cymru/

@ thank you

What has that to do with Rouen?

@LUIS-ox1bv speaking of the cities I've been to

Thank you for watching! :)

Thank you for watching! :)

It looks like a cheap afterthought, and highly unsuitable for celebrating the Eucharist. High altars in the past were given great emphasis in their creation because people of faith understood the importance and significance of what was happening during the Holy Sacrifice. Only in an age of effeminate, liberal secularism, cynicism, and belief in only corporealism and materialism, would folks opt for such a mundane excuse of religious practice.

@@LUIS-ox1bv Keeping politics out of this, it's a design choice. It stands out like a sore thumb in a historic Medieval cathedral. They didn't even try blending the design. The Victorian era restoration, even if there was changes. They blended it well. The spire is a perfect example, It's not original, it's Victorian era, but it fits so well because it's in the Gothic style.

It's really beautiful so I can see why you would want to return!

I have the Sony ZV-E1 Mirrorless Camera with a selection of fixed prime lenses :)

@@SophieNadeau thank you so much! you inspire me!

Yes, it's truly very beautiful! :)

Thank you for watching :)

Thank you for your encouraging comment :)

Gosh, I hadn't even considered that! Great catch and thanks for sharing :)

What do you mean? That's literally a wooden bowl!! That's simply ugly and poorly done. It has nothing to do with the gothic style of Notre Dame...

@@laercio8347 It seems that you don't really look at things before judging : the new furniture is absolutely not made of wood.

This edifice was not constructed to showcase artworks nor provide easy and unobstructed views. It was created for Catholic worship. For the practice of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Any faithful, devout and traditional Catholic, should take offense at such an ugly and paltry expression, that denigrates and devalues the importance of the Consecration. If the French were truly serious about restoring Notre Dame, they would have restored it how it appeared in the Middle Ages, and it would not have resulted in this debacle, since Gothic Cathedrals did not feature long, unbroken vistas of the interior. The interior was sectioned off by Rood Screens, which separated the laity from the functions of the Sanctuary and the Choir. This arrangement can still be seen in some churches in France and in England. Ignorance knows no bounds.

@@LUIS-ox1bv sadly, you seem not to know your history. The high altar at the East End of the building would've been the focus of worship when this was constructed. the choir would've been the closest group of people to the high altar and there would've been an altar at the crossing of the transept. the altar that was constructed may not appeal to you, but it serves beautifully in its function as an altar in the current Roman usage.

Thank you! Amazing that you've been able to see Notre Dame through various decades!

Thank you for watching! :) I hope you have a wonderful time in London!

Rubbish. By your definition, Notre Dame was restored, reconstructed AND renovated. The structure does not closely resemble how it looked during the Middle Ages because Cathedrals were not used as they are today. Cathedrals during the Middle Ages, were sectioned off according to their purpose, and did not present an open concept which people see today. When Medieval faithful entered Notre Dame, what they saw was not a long, unbroken interior with the high altar. They saw a Rood Screen which usually waa surmounted by a large Crucifix. The high altar, Sanctuary and Choir, were separated by a screen, consisting of sculptured work in either wood or masonry. The purpose of the screens was to ensure that the Canons or clergy could chant the daily office without interruptions or intrusions by the laity and also to deal with draughts, since the Cathedrals were not heated. This arrangement can still be viewed in rare examples in France and England. During the Renaissance and afterwards, the screens were pulled down. Notre Dame today is just a rebuilt, restored, renovated, and fanciful notion of its former self. Albeit a glorious one.

Qué significan esas siglas

c' est stupide de dire cela, toutes les églises du monde ont sans cesse été rénovées, restaurées, beaucoup ont été en flamme, comme Notre-Dame, qui a perdu sa toiture, mais pas son âme, de quel pauvre pays venez vous, pour avoir ses pauvres idées...?

Notre Dame!!! Ispira bei pensieri...rispetto al luogo...speranza in un futuro migliore!
