So yesterday's question was: where was the panorama photo taken from? Well... from up here! This is the extraordinary inside of Saint-Louis cathedral dome! Atelier Choco Turquoise who took these photos was lucky enough to be able to ascend the spire! Isn't this incredible mid-XVIIIth century craftsmanship by architect Jacques Hardouin-Mansart-de-Sagonne, the great Mansart's grandson?... To view all cathedral posts inside and out, click here!

Donc la question était : d'où fut prise la photo panoramique d'hier ? Eh bien d'ici... Voici l'incroyable intérieur du dôme de la cathédrale Saint-Louis ! L'Atelier Choco Turquoise a eu la chance inouïe de pouvoir s'y rendre et a très gentiment fait profiter VDP -et vous chers lecteurs- de ces superbes photos ! Extraordinaire architecture du milieu du XVIIIème siècle, celle de Jacques Hardouin-Mansart-de-Sagonne, petit-fils du grand Mansart ! Pour voir ou revoir tous les billets sur la cathédrale, c'est par ici. Pour se rafraîchir la mémoire au sujet de l'édifice, c'est par là.
Those spiral steps look amazing... though cramped! The wood feels quite old, but enduring.

ReplyDeleteQuelle oeuvre d'art, je n'aurais jamais imagine...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mish mash of wood!
ReplyDeleteThese are marvelous photos! Those spiral stairs are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is the part of the building I always want to see, I see lots of pegs holding things together, very strong! I particularly like the repetitive posts supporting the roof.
ReplyDeleteI just love this place! Glad you visited it and composed your photos so well.
ReplyDelete@ JM: I didn't go up!
