Français
Les Pyrénées sont une chaîne montagneuse du sud-ouest de l'Europe. Elles s'étendent en longueur selon une direction est-ouest sur une distance approximative de 430 kilomètres depuis la mer Méditerranée (Cap de Creus) jusqu'au golfe de Gascogne (Cap Higuer). Culminant à 3 404 mètres d'altitude au pic d'Aneto, les Pyrénées forment une véritable barrière géographique séparant la péninsule Ibérique au sud du reste de l'Europe continentale au nord. Elles constituent une frontière naturelle entre l'Espagne et la France et abritent aussi la principauté d’Andorre.
La chaîne des Pyrénées traverse trois régions et six départements français : d’est en ouest les régions Languedoc-Roussillon (Pyrénées-Orientales et Aude), Midi-Pyrénées (Ariège, Haute-Garonne et Hautes-Pyrénées) et Aquitaine (Pyrénées-Atlantiques). Côté espagnol, elle traverse quatre communautés autonomes et sept provinces d'Espagne : d’est en ouest la Catalogne (Gérone, Barcelone et Lérida), l'Aragon (Huesca et Saragosse), la Navarre (communauté composée d'une seule province du même nom) et la Communauté autonome basque (Guipuscoa).
Trois sentiers de grande randonnée traversent les Pyrénées d'ouest en est : le GR 10 côté français, le GR 11 côté espagnol et la Haute randonnée pyrénéenne.
Espanol;
os Pirineos, o el Pirineo como prefieren denominar sus habitantes al referirse a una parte o región de éstos (español: Pirineos; francés: Pyrénées; catalán: Pirineus; occitano: Pirenèus; aragonés: Pireneus/Perinés; euskera: Pirinioak o Auñamendiak), son una cordillera montañosa situada al norte de la Península Ibérica, entre España, Andorra y Francia. Se extiende a lo largo de 415 km desde el mar Mediterráneo (cabo de Creus) al este, hasta el mar Cantábrico (golfo de Vizcaya) al oeste. En su parte central tiene una anchura de unos 150 km. En lenguaje corriente la palabra Pirineo se aplica al conjunto de altas sierras fronterizas hispano-francesas. La denominada Pirineos Centrales es el área geográfica de la cordillera de los Pirineos que se extiende aproximadamente, según las diferentes obras, entre las cumbres de Somport, en la parte occidental, y el macizo de la Maladeta, en la oriental.
Places to see in ( Angers - France ) Cathedrale St Maurice
Places to see in ( Angers - France ) Cathedrale St Maurice
The Saint Maurice Cathedral of Angers is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Angers in Angers, France. Built between the 11th and 16th Centuries, It was classified in 1862 as a national monument of France for its mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, especially the Angevin Gothic style, and for the stained glass windows, including the transept's window of Saint Julian, considered to be a masterpiece of French 13th century glasswork.
The original Romanesque church was rebuilt with Gothic details in the mid-12th century. The single-aisle plan was vaulted with pointed arches resting on a re-clad interior elevation. The nave consists of three simple bays, with single bays on either side of a crossing forming transepts, followed by a single-bay choir, backed by an apse.
The Cathedral of Angers was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary. But, in 396, St. Martin, the Archbishop of Tours, added St. Maurice to the dedication. He had acquired a relic of some of the blood of the members of the Theban Legion, who were martyred, along with their leader St. Maurice, in the 3rd Century for converting to Christianity. The relic was brought to Tours and later, according to legend, a phial of it was given to Angers. In the 7th Century, a devotion to St. Maurilius, the Bishop of Angers in the 4th Century, began. A biography of him was written and, in 873, his body was transferred to the Cathedral. Two hundred years, St. Maurilius and St. Maurice were frequently mentioned together as the patron saints of the Cathedral but eventually St. Maurice became the primary patron of the Cathedral.
During the Middle Ages, both the Angers Cathedral and the Amiens Cathedral claimed that they were in possession of the reputed head of St. John the Baptist, which had been brought to France from the Fourth Crusade but had since been lost. In 1806, the porch, which stood in front of the facade, had to be demolished because of its dilapidated condition. Built in the Angevin Gothic style in front of the entrance's gate, it had two levels but, today, the four pointed arches are the only remaining evidence of the medieval porch. Various reconstruction projects were developed in the 20th Century but none of them made it out of the planning stage
The pipe organ has been in the Cathedral as early as the 14th Century. But the current incarnation was built only in 1617 by the organ maker, Jacques Girardet, who was probably recycling the pipes and other parts from the previous organ. An earlier organ was replaced in 1416 with a new case by Jean Chabencel but in 1451 it burned down, struck by a lighting bolt. A replacement was built in 1507 on the initiative of Anne of Brittany on the original spot, the counter in the choir. It was restored for the first time, after a fire, in 1533 by Peter Bert and for the second time, in 1701 by Marin Ingoult, who added the pedalboard. When Ingoult was done, the organ had, besides the pedalboard, 47 pipes with four keyboards (manuals).
