🕍✨ Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg

In summer ⛅️ the cathedral seems to glow. The warm sun hits the pink Vosges sandstone just right, making the whole façade shimmer like it’s lit from within. Standing in the square beneath it, I felt small in the best way, the kind of awe that silences your thoughts for a while. Tourists moved slowly, hushed not by any rule, but by the presence of something bigger than explanation. The spire reaches high above, intricate and defiant, and you could easily spend an hour just following its details with your eyes🌞⛪ Inside, the summer heat gave way to stone-cool air and soft, shifting light ✨ The stained glass cast long, colored shadows across the floor, changing as the sun moved. It felt ancient and steady, not stuck in the past, but deeply rooted. I remember standing near the astronomical clock, surrounded by quiet murmurs in different languages, all watching time move together. There’s something humbling about that 🔮💫 Back outside, we walked around slowly, finding new angles where sunlight hit different carvings. The bells rang out just as we reached the back, echoing off the cobblestones like a reminder to pause. Even in a busy summer square, it never felt crowded. Just full, with light, with stories, with presence. 🏛️🕯️ #summervacay #travel #thingstodo
