Paris (75) - Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris : Etage de la Rose (rosace). Au centre de la facade ouest, Notre Dame, la vierge a qui la cathedrale est dediee. La statue de la Vierge se tient au centre de la facade, devant la rosace, pour accueillir les 20 millions de visiteurs qui foulent chaque annee le parvis. Accompagne de deux anges, l'enfant Jesus tient dans la main une grenade, fruit de l'amour. Avec pres de 10 metres de diametre, la grande rosace fut longtemps la plus la plus vaste qu'on ai ose percer. Son dessin est si parfait qu'aucun de ses elements n'a joue depuis plus de sept siecles. Vue depuis le parvis, elle forme comme une aureole a la Vierge. Altitude 27 metres. // France - Paris (75) - Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris : Level of the Rose. At the center of west facade, Notre Dame, the Virgin to whom the cathedral is dedicated. The statue of the Virgin Mary stands in the center of the facade, front to the rose, to welcome the 20 million of visitors who tread the square each year. Accompanied by two angels, Christ Child holds in his hand a pomegranate, the fruit of love. With nearly 10 meters in diameter, the large Rose was long the more larger than builders have dared to assemble. Its design is so perfect that none of its components moved for more than seven centuries. View from the square, it forms like an aureole to the Virgin. Altitude 27 meters.
