Alle, die in den letzten 5 Jahren beim Wiederaufbau dabei waren: Das wirklich wichtige Foto der Neueröffnung! Erinnert an Brechts Fragen eines lesenden Arbeiters.

4. Notre Dame’s axis isn’t straight: it tilts a bit to the left after the crossing. Many medieval cathedrals have this, esp in France.
I think that that tilt is meant to symbolise / mimic Christ’s head tilting as he was unable to hold it up / had died on the Cross.

Notre Dame in Paris re-opens this wkd.
I'm a cathedral nerd. Here are some things that you might not notice about it – just from that one photo.
THREAD.

1. You can see straight down the nave to the apse. No medieval English cathedral has that.
