Friday, 09 July 2004 High Gothic Ladies Bicycle Tour
CREDIT: © Prof. Jeffrey Howe/Boston College Fine Arts Department. WHERE: Amiens & Chartres, France. WHAT: Tour de France & Gothic cathedrals. MAP: France. Thumbnail [1][2] clicks/text [3][4] links pop-up source site images. ![]() ![]() Delights of the OLN TV [Outdoor Life Network] coverage of all three European Grand Tours [Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España] include the helicopter shots of the countryside in the host countries. TDF04.05 was no exception, and British commentators Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen flaunted their knowledge of architecture and history. From the Thais.it web site Gothic pages, we chose aerial views of the cathedrals in the start city of Amiens, and the finish city of Chartres. We have no way of knowing how much Prof. Jeffery Howe knows about bicycle racing, but we suspect he probably knows rather more about architecture. His Boston College Digital Archive of Architecture provided us with the images of Notre Dame Amiens and Notre Dame Chartres. Chartres has its own [1] section, with sub sections for the [2] exterior, [3] sculpture, [4] interior, and stained [5] glass. |
