notre dame

第戎圣母大教堂在规模上虽然不能和巴黎或者斯塔拉斯堡的圣母大教堂相比，但它也有很多特点。例如教堂正面外立面上的数目众多怪兽滴水口其实都只是装饰，外立面侧面的塔楼也很少见。教堂塔顶的敲钟小人机械系统是1318年完工的，现在还运营良好。最好的参观时间是傍晚的整点，夕阳正好撒在教堂正面，照相很美，同时又能看到小人敲钟。

This fabulous church designed like a cathedral. but smaller has a fabulous mediaeval atmosphere because of the exquisite stained-glass, not all of it mediaeval but beautifully constructed in the 19th century. There is also a black Madonna. The church seems mainly famous for the gargoyles outside and the little owl but I was impressed by the atmosphere inside.

Especially the desig of the outside . Takes much time to see every detail. Primarely study of Gothic style recommended. Inside see the black Madonna. More information in the nearby tourist office.

If you visit Dijon even for a short time, you'll find this easily. The cathedral's front looks a little different from others. From the opposite its bell tower was not seen. So it looked like a square building from there. Entering, a beggar opens the door and asked us some money. It was not busy inside. Like the other cathedrals, the ceiling was high and it was a little bit cold.Sitting for a while to take a rest, we left without something special about the cathedral.

Following the sign on the road to finding out the little owl. A good exercise to work out before you are getting a glass of wonderful Bourgogne wine!

Worth stopping by and seeing.Beautiful architecture and surrounding.If you liked visiting other cathedrals I am sure you will like this one too.

This cathedral has one of the rare 'black' virgins which isn't all that black really but interesting. If you look at the sculptures over the entrance to the cathedral you'll see all of the heads have been cut off during the French Revolution

In many respects even better than the cathedral, Notre Dame is easily Dijon's foremost Gothic church. The state of preservation is mind-blowing, reminding me more of Gothic revival than the original thing. Excellent stained glass and tracery, but then France cannot be beaten here

Although we didn't go inside, I was in gargoyle heaven photographing the fake gargoyles on the front facade. The Jaquemart has an amusing story that can be found in the Owl trail booklet.

Be prepared to go up the steps to the top. You will see Dijon and the place. Very nice view! It worth a while

No crowds so a very peaceful visit to see the tablets of stone and a station of the cross. Awesome organ above the door. Roman crypt a bit underwhelming. Very impressive and well worth a detour away from the city centre along the owl trail.

The Owl on Notre Dame is where you can make a wish. I made a wish for my daughter and an owl showed up on her patio! He was watching out for her as I asked!

Right in the middle of the little owl trail, this cathedral dominates the city central skyline. Very beautiful interior and you are free to come and go as you wish.

It was not a "wow factor" church. It was very peaceful and prayerful. The windows were beautiful. I would like to have been at services there.

This beautiful piece of history forms part of the owl tour around the magnificent mediaeval town of Dijon, cote d'or.the amazing silence hits you on entering an puts you immediately at peace with the world as you walk around the stained glass wonderment. the history is complemented by descriptive commentary under each artifact on English and French and other languages are accommodated on the printed sheets you can also find, describing the history of the building.
