Notre-Dame at the Crossroads of Cultures - in french

This book aims to give voice to the stones!

They still throb with the fervor that united the builders and the generations that followed.

Where are we? When was it built? For whom? Thanks to whom? By whom?...

Each one is invited to lend an ear to the silent words of the stones and stained glass, to come out happier than when they entered.

Foreword by Cardinal Lustiger.

Author: Marie-Jeanne Coloni

Back cover:

The cathedral emerged in a time not so far from our own...

Technological discoveries, the development of trade, and luxury workshops in a rapidly expanding capital city led to astonishing cultural exchanges. Influences from southern Europe and the Middle Ages complemented those of the northern peoples and even left their mark on the minds during these fascinating explorations.

The cathedral embodies an architectural renewal embellished by all these contributions. Thus, it is adapted to the questions already formulated in its time: Can we know God? What glimpse of Him can we catch? Is reason contradicted by faith? What value can we recognize in our work?
