Church bells are one of my favorite parts of a holiday in France

[@angryhedgehoglee6363]

Does anyone else still cry over Notre Dame?Everytime I think about it the tears are deep and sorrowful, so painful. A powerful symbol of the Occidental.

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

Very beautiful bells. They hang from wonderful old fashioned yokes and some even work on a keyboard, a real bell piano.

[@TvStudiosOfficial]

Bell pianos are called carillons.

Traditions :-)

[@abhishek2026]

I am from India, and I feel this as okay to ring a bell. As it looks more traditional for me. But the Muslims community loudspeakers are like a disaster. Loudspeakers were invented in 1900. and then they say loudspeakers are an integral part of Islam. means loudspeakers existed before the prophet how it can be. I am not against the sound. But it should be a pleasant sound. Church bell does not sound like noise. but again loudspeakers are noise, same applies to Hindu - they have many things bells, and sometimes they chant music outside with loudspeakers but they are told not make it outside the premises of the temple. some of them have removed the loudspeakers as they say it does not fit to standards of rituals. so, bells - acceptable but not a loudspeakers sound that is unacceptable.

[@ytallcontent79]

Yup

[@Kanal7Indonesia]

Mosques are loud, annoying and ugly.

[@InstrumentFan2510]

0:20 where’s this bell tower at

[@JayAldred]

Enjoy this while you can, it won't be around for much longer.

[@Tehgoat]

How do you figure that?

[@JayAldred]

Christianity is under attack and is in steep decline. Demographics are destiny and France is changing very quickly.

[@Tehgoat]

@@JayAldred How is this effecting you, personally?

[@JayAldred]

I enjoy western culture and the freedoms it offers, are you a globalist?

[@Tehgoat]

@@JayAldred But how is your perceived attack on Christianity effecting you, personally?

[@christopherellis2663]

Nantes, csn be amazing!

[@gregorydsouza1330]

Restore the church you will get blessings of lord Jesus Christ 🙏 you will be flourished and prosperous. Pl invite priests and nuns for restoration and renew your catholic faith.

[@therailcat9790]

Unfortunately the twisted church is sunken in water

[@jerrydavenport7645]

Why they don't POLISH the BELLS.....I THINK IT INPROVES THE SOUND.....

[@chedomir2669]

Great, encourage everyone around you to initiate a ringing action that can help drive away the virus's corona. Don't wait but hurry! Good luck!

[@user-hg9lw4rp4r]

Uncalled for to play an audio that has no resemblance of the bells rung in churches and then cut the video to emphasize and exaggerate an overwhelming sense of noise. Church bells really don’t sound like how you represented them in the video and I feel as though you’re just mocking the Holy Church… Be more respectful please, and nothing will be said in retaliation.
