If you got used with massive churches in France then this church looks average.Inside it is quite empty where it has some beautiful items inside as well.It is worth to visit while you are in Provins.It is just next to the "castle".
Joan of Arc and Charles VII attended the office there. Beautiful dome. Worth a visit if you are in Provins.
This is a cathedral that could have been amazing, but was never finished. The stone work soars beautifully, but there are only a couple of stained glass windows that were completed, and very little statuary or paintings. If you're going to Provins it's worth a peek, but you probably won't spend more than 15 or 20 minutes there. The good news, though, is that it's open all day, unlike a lot of other Provins attractions that have very limited hours in the winter. Note that Joan of Arc and Charles the VII stopped and prayed here on their way to do battle in Champagne. Pretty neat.
The Eglise don't have anything special, as it's a small, not-so-well-preserved church. On the other hand, the atmosphere is very interesting, as everything looks as it was exactly as in the past. Plus, Joan of Arc and Charles VII attended a mass there, what is historic value enough to make the church important.If you get to the church and it looks like it's closed, it's probably not. Try to open the (small) door and you will be allowed to enter. As Provins cam be very cold due the winds, they keep the doors closed.
Toda a cidade de Provins é um museu a ceu aberto. Adentrar a seus predios e suas igrejas se torna um espetaculo à parte nesta deliciosa expediçao cultural e "viagem no tempo" que se faz ao visitar a cidade.
You won’t miss this church when you visit Provins. It was a huge, classy construction close to the Caesar’s Tower, a mixture of Romanesque, Gothic, and Classic in its architecture and interior design. It was not a fancy or upkeep building and many people even considered it too simple and “empty” inside. However, if you realized how old this church was and its history you might want to stay a little longer to appreciate its existence. It was not really “nothing to see” inside merely because it was huge and kind of lack of color. It was covered with creamy stone walls and actually bright. Spend time on some of the details and the aged furnitures, the carvings, the beautiful piece of stained glass designed without figures, and the great stone works. Its beauty came from its uniqueness and simplicity.When I looked at the monument of Joan of Arc, who was here in 1429 with the king Charles Vll, I no longer wondered why this church was special and why it was one the religious heritage of France. Happy to be able to visit this place.
Para quem gosta de visitar igrejas e conhecer sua história, recomendo visitar este local. Achei bonito e interessante.
Dans la vieille ville de Provins, il a une belle place où se dresse cette belle collégiale. Nous venons souvent ici pour les médiévales ou quand bon nous semble en voisin.A chaque fois nous passons par ce monument religieux où Jeanne d'Arc s'arrêta lorsqu'elle conduisit Charles VII pour se faire sacrer Roi à Reims.L'intérieur est vaste et assez dépouillé.
Very nice church which was visited by Joan of Arc. The inside is so spacious with a huge ceiling when we arrived it was lovely to sit and listen to a service which was underway.
Je garde un souvenir de beauté lumineuse de l'intérieur de cet édifice ; la conception générale est intéressante.Son emplacement la mets d'ailleurs bien en valeur au cœur de la vieille cité.
