Chapter 1404: Sacred Heart Church
After satisfying Betty's wish, Ye Tian and the others left the wall of love.
Immediately afterwards, the group of them came to Huanyifang to visit this outpost, which is well-known in art history and has always been regarded as a protection site for Impressionists.
Huanyifang is actually an old building in Montmartre district. In 1889, French writer Marx Jacobs gave this beautiful name to this building!
It used to be a place where the French Cultural Revolution was staged. It was called the ‘City of Artists’. The reason why it is famous all over the world is because there have been countless top artists here!
Top artists such as Rousseau, Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, etc., when they were not well-known and were not followed by people! I often gather here and leave my footprint here!
To this day, these artists who were once not of interest to people have become well-known masters in art history, and Huanyifang has also become a holy place for art.
In 1970, the original site of the Huanyifang was burned in a fire, and everything was burned to ashes. The current Huanyifang is a cement building rebuilt on the original site, which lacks a lot of charm!
Because of this, Ye Tian's wish to find one or two masterpieces here is not even possible!
After visiting Huanyifang for a while, Ye Tian and the others left here and went to St. Pierre Church!
Saint Pierre Church, this is an ancient church built in 1147, built by devout believers for the Pope.
The whole church looks inconspicuous and quite old, but it is one of the oldest churches in Paris, even longer than Notre Dame de Paris!
In this church, Ye Tian and the others visited the ancient Romanesque buildings and the antique artworks displayed in the church, and then left!
Immediately afterwards, they came to Xiaoqiu Square again to wipe out the fish that slipped through the net!
The French are generally lazy. They usually get up three poles a day, eat breakfast, drink a few cups of coffee, and do some trivial tasks. The morning is over.
In the morning when Ye Tian and the others visited Xiaoqiu Square, it was still early, and some local French people hadn't left the stall yet!
In order not to miss the baby that may appear, Ye Tian and the others will come to Xiaoqiu Square again.
When they walked into Xiaoqiu Square, Yu Yueran had already left. Bowie was not in Xiaoqiu Square, and was on his way back from the hotel!
He bought so many things that he couldn't fit in the rented car. He had to drive back to the hotel to unload the goods, and then return here to continue the raid.
Ye Tian and the others' visit again caused a commotion in Xiaoqiu Square.
All the people who deal in antique art here are very excited about it, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Rodriguez and become another unlucky person who is ransacked!
Those painters who make a living by painting on the square expect Ye Tian to patronize his own business, just like he patronizes Yu Yueran's business in the morning, and bring great popularity.
Sure enough, after walking around, Ye Tian discovered several treasures that were ignored and forgotten by people, all of which were very valuable!
However, he did not make another move, but sent the relevant information to Bowie, letting Bowie come here to wipe out!
After visiting Xiaoqiu Square, they walked along the road up the mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the street, talking, laughing and chatting, and walked to the Sacred Heart Church not far away!
They are not the only ones who go to the Sacred Heart Church, there are also many tourists from all over the world. The streets are bustling with people going up the mountain and some down the mountain. Looking around, the streets are full of black people!
On the way, many people were looking at Ye Tian and the others, with curiosity and fear in their eyes!
As in other places in Paris, whenever they walk by, there will always be a sound of discussion in the streets, and here is no exception!
"How come Steven this crazy guy appears here? It seems they are going to the Sacred Heart Church. Fortunately, I am going down the mountain. I don't have to stay in the Sacred Heart Church with these **** Yankees!"
"Have you heard? In the morning in the hills square, Steven this guy bought a painting of ‘Soul of Montmartre’ Lautrec for 500 Euros, worth at least 18 million Euros!
This is crazy! This **** Steven is extremely lucky. If I let this guy stay in Paris again, I am afraid that the whole Paris will be ransacked by this bastard! "
Ye Tian and the others didn't even see the attention of the people on the street, as well as the one after another. They walked leisurely, very relaxed!
They have seen this situation too many times, and everyone has long been used to it.
Only when they meet the tourists coming down the mountain head-on, or if someone takes the initiative to greet them, will Ye Tian nod and greet the other party, his performance is impeccable!
After just walking for two or three minutes and turning a corner, the white buildings of the Sacred Heart Church broke into everyone's eyes!
Seeing the Sacred Heart Church, Betty immediately exclaimed in a low voice.
"Wow! This church is so beautiful and the architectural style is very interesting. I have never seen such a church before, this is the first time!"
Ye Tian turned to look at Betty, then smiled and whispered:
"This is a unique church, and there is no one in the world like it. It is normal for you to be surprised. Everyone will feel this way the first time they see the Sacred Heart Church!
Many churches we usually see are either Romanesque, Gothic, Byzantine, etc., and their architectural styles are relatively uniform. For example, Notre Dame Cathedral is a Gothic church!
The Sacred Heart Church is different. Its architectural style is very peculiar, both Romanesque and Byzantine. It combines the expressions of Roman architecture. It has a variety of styles, but it is very harmonious!
In addition to the peculiar architectural style, the reason for the construction of the Sacred Heart Church is also very different from all other churches in the world. It was built to commemorate the heroic sacrifices of the soldiers of the Paris Commune!
We all know that the Paris Commune uprising was the world's first proletarian revolution. Many of the participants and leaders of the revolution were atheists, not believers of God!
The last group of soldiers of the Paris Commune was brutally suppressed by the Thiers government on the Montmartre Heights. The last drop of blood was shed, and the Paris Commune uprising was declared a complete failure!
People initiated the construction of the Sacred Heart Church to pay tribute to the compatriots who died in the defense of the Paris Commune, hoping to forgive them from the Sacred Heart of **** Christ and forgive them for their mistakes.
To build a church of the Sacred Heart to commemorate the proletarian revolutionaries and a group of atheists is very peculiar in this regard, and it is the only one in the world!
In October 1876, the first cornerstone was laid for the Sacred Heart Church. After more than 40 years, it was not until 1919 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that this church was completed and became another cultural landscape in Paris! "
While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the Sacred Heart Church, stopped in one after another, and began to admire this famous white church up close.
This is a church built on the top of a mountain. The scale of the building is grand and solemn. Especially when you walk up the hillside, when you look up at this church, everyone feels like the mountain is standing up!
There are three huge fan-shaped arches at the entrance of the Church of the Sacred Heart. On both sides of the top of the door, there are two sculptures on horseback. One is Saint Louis, which is Louis IX; the other is a statue of Joan of Arc.
Standing on the square in front of the Sacred Heart Church, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Paris, with a wonderful view and picturesque scenery!
The steps in front of the square are the best place to overlook the beautiful scenery of Paris, and a great place to have a romantic relationship. It is also recognized as the best photo-taking area in Montmartre.
Every evening, those stone stairs are always filled with tourists from all over the world, as well as couples in love, enjoying Paris under the sunset and feeling the romance of this city!
