Chapter 1404 Sacred Heart Church
After fulfilling Betty's wish, Ye Tian and the others left the love wall.
Immediately afterwards, the group of them came to Huanyifang to visit this front post, which is well-known in the history of art and has always been considered as a protected place for Impressionist painters.
Huanyifang is actually an old building in Montmartre District. In 1889, the French writer Max Jacob gave this beautiful name to this building!
It used to be a place where the French Cultural Revolution was staged, and it was known as the "City of Artists". The reason why it is world-famous is that countless top artists have come and gone here!
Top artists such as Rousseau, Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, etc., when they were not famous and not being noticed by people! I often meet here and leave my footprints here!
Today, these artists who were not paid attention to by people have become famous masters in the history of art, and Huanyifang has also become a holy place for art.
In 1970, the original site of Huanyifang was burned down in a fire, and everything was burned to ashes. The current Huanyifang is a cement building rebuilt on the original site, which has lost a lot of charm!
Because of this, it is impossible for Ye Tian to realize his wish to find one or two masterpieces by famous masters here!
After visiting Huanyifang for a while, Ye Tian and the others left here and went to St. Pierre's Church!
St. Pierre's Church, which is an ancient church built in 1147, was 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 older than Notre Dame de Paris!
In this church, Ye Tian and the others visited the ancient Romanesque buildings, as well as the antique artworks displayed in the church, and then left!
Immediately afterwards, they visited Xiaoqiu Square again to clean up the fish that slipped through the net!
French people are generally lazy. They usually wake up after three hours in the day, have breakfast, drink a few cups of coffee, dawdle and do some chores, and the whole morning is over.
When Ye Tian and the others visited Xiaoqiu Square in the morning, it was still early, and some local French people hadn't left their stalls yet!
In order not to miss the treasure that might appear, Ye Tian and the others came to Xiaoqiu Square again.
When they walked into the hill square,
Yu Yueran has already left here, Bowie is not in Xiaoqiu Square, and is on his way back here from the hotel!
He bought so much that he couldn't fit it in his rental car and had to drive back to the hotel to unload it and then return here to continue the raid.
Ye Tian's visit again caused a commotion in Xiaoqiu Square.
All the people who deal in antique artworks here have put their 120,000 points in their spirits, so as not to repeat Rodriguez's mistakes and become another unlucky man who has been ransacked wildly!
Those painters who made a living by painting in the square expected Ye Tian to patronize their own business, just like he patronized Yu Yueran's business in the morning, bringing great popularity.
Sure enough, after wandering around, Ye Tian found several treasures that were neglected and forgotten by people, all of which are of great value!
However, he didn't make another shot, but sent the relevant information to Bowie, asking Bowie to come here to clean up!
After visiting Xiaoqiu Square, they strolled along the road up the mountain, admiring the beautiful scenery on the street, laughing and chatting, and walked to the Sacred Heart Church not far away!
They were not the only ones who went to the Sacred Heart Church, there were also many tourists from all over the world. The streets were bustling with people going up the hill and down the hill. As far as the eye could see, the streets were full of black heads!
On the way, many people were looking at Ye Tian and the others, their eyes were full of curiosity and a little bit of fear!
As in the rest of Paris, there is always an uproar in the streets whenever they walk by, and here is no exception!
"Why did this crazy guy, Steven, appear here? It seems that they are going to the Sacred Heart Church. Fortunately, I am going to go down the mountain, and I don't have to stay in the Sacred Heart Church with these damn Yankees!"
"Have you heard? In the morning on the Hill Square, this guy Steven bought a painting of 'The Soul of Montmartre' by Lautrec for 500 euros, worth at least 18 million euros!
This is just crazy! This bastard Steven is extremely lucky. If this guy stays in Paris any longer, I'm afraid that the whole of Paris will be ransacked by this bastard! "
Ye Tian and the others turned a blind eye to the people's attention on the street and the voices of discussion one after another. The few people strolled forward leisurely, very relaxed!
They have seen this situation too many times, and everyone has long been used to it, so it's not surprising!
Ye Tian would nod in greeting only when he met tourists coming down the mountain, or someone took the initiative to greet them, and his performance was impeccable!
After walking for only two or three minutes, after turning a street corner, the white buildings of the Sacred Heart Church broke into everyone's eyes!
The moment she saw 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 a church like this before, this is the first time!"
Ye Tian turned to look at Betty, then smiled and said in a low voice:
"This is a unique church, and there is nothing like it in the world. It is normal for you to be surprised. Everyone will feel this way when they see the Sacred Heart Church for the first time!
Many churches we usually see are either Romanesque, Gothic, or Byzantine, etc. The architectural style is relatively uniform, such as Notre Dame de Paris, which is a Gothic church!
The Sacred Heart Church is different. Its architectural style is very peculiar. It looks like Romanesque and Byzantine.
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 sacrifice of the Paris Commune soldiers!
We all know that the Paris Commune uprising was the first proletarian revolution in the world, and many of the participants and leaders of the revolution were atheists, not believers in God!
The last group of fighters of the Paris Commune was brutally suppressed by the Thiers government on the Montmartre Heights, and the last drop of blood was shed. The Paris Commune uprising 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 get the forgiveness of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ and forgive the mistakes they made.
To build a Sacred Heart Church to commemorate proletarian revolutionaries and commemorate a group of atheists, in this regard, I have to say that it is very strange, and it is unique in the world!
In October 1876, the first cornerstone of the Sacred Heart Church was laid. After more than 40 years, the church was not completed until 1919, becoming another cultural landscape in Paris! "
While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the Sacred Heart Church, they all stopped and began to appreciate the 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 walking up the hillside, when you look up and see this church, everyone has a feeling of looking up at the mountain!
There are three huge fan-shaped arches at the entrance of the Sacred Heart Church. On both sides of the top of the door, there are two equestrian sculptures, one is St. Louis, that 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 beauty of 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 it is also an excellent place to talk about love. It is also recognized as the best photo area in Montmartre.
Every evening, those stone steps are always full of tourists from all over the world, as well as couples in love, admiring the sunset shrouded in Paris, feeling the romance of this city!
