Es una catedral que se ubica en el centro de Papeete, cercano a tiendas y el mercado de Papeete. Bonita arquitectura, pero nada extraordinario.
Pretty much a yawn, not much else to do though. Near the waterfront and shopping. Free attraction then go to Bougainville Park
Muito interrensate conhecer a catedral, ainda mais que dá uma super paz de espirito quando nós fomos fazer uma visita, e também aproveitarmos para orar um pouco.
This church is very endearing. Nothing special, just the location is fabulous, the view from far is unmistakable. If you can, just go there for 6pm for mass. Or sometimes around 5 you can catch a local gospel rehearsal. Magic....or maybe it's just me because it embodies my whole childhood...
The Notre Dame Cathedral is a very grand name for what is more like a lovely small town church. It's right in the center of town and is painted a pretty pastel yellow. The inside has lovely stained glass windows and a Tahitian version of the Madonna and Child....gorgeous! The Stations of the Cross also have a Tahitian them. The Cathedral is only about a block from the Municipal Market so if you're going there it's well worth a trip to see this church too.
The cathedral is really a simple church with some stained glass. The real reason for stopping is to see how religion is practiced in French Polynesia. There is a beautiful wood carving of the Madonna and child with a definite Polynesian influence. The 12 stations of the cross are depicted on a mural as native Polynesians.
En plein centre ville la petite cathédrale de Papeete est un lieu de calme et de paix très facilement accessible. Magnifiquement restaurée à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur, elle conjugue beauté et simplicité.Même si vous n'êtes que de passage, ou en dehors des horaires des offices, n'hésitez pas à y entrer pour quelques instants de recueillement.
Embora seja conhecida como "Cathedrale de Notre Dame", a igrejinha tem o pomposo nome de "Cathedrale de Papeete Notre-Dame L'Immaculée Conception". Ela é propriedade da comuna de Papeete desde 27.12.1890 e foi 'inaugurada' em 24.06.2005, depois de uma completa restauração. Se tiver um tempinho livre, até acho que vale a pena conhecê-la, mesmo porque fica perto de outras atrações em Papeete.
The Notre Dame cathedral in the centre of Papeete is held dear to many on the island. Built in 1875 it has survived many natural and man made disasters. A bombing in 1914, a tidal wave and a cyclone. All distances in Tahiti are measured from its forecourt. Its exterior is rather plain with a single slender spire. Once inside you can see a beautiful set of stained glass windows showing typical Polynesian scenes. Look for the breadfruit trees, carved tiki's and Tahitian canoes.
Aparentemente é a única igreja católica no local. Não vá esperando encontrar uma catedral, mas sim uma igreja pequena e singela. Apesar disso, tem seu charme e a missa é linda.
