Jeremy’s Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Back From France Week! There are 329 friggin’ steps to the top of the Cathedral of Strasbourg
Today's stop along the French tour is the lovely Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg
One of the things to do in France is to climb steps to see places from the top of stuff. This hobby is very possible in Strasbourg, a town which is deceptively difficult to spell (I haven't gotten it right on the first try yet in this Blag Post), and also boasts 13th century Gothic cathedral.
Wanting to experience all that France has to offer, our tour group (4 people) climbed steps up to the top of the cathedral to see Strasbourg (Yep...screwed it up that time, too) from above. The stairwells seemed to go on forever, and most of it consisted of spiral staircases which made me a little dizzy. The end result was a great view from the top, a lot of nice pictures, and a pleasantly refreshing breeze blowing at that altitude.
On the way down, it was decided to count the number of steps...and after a brief disagreement around step #150, continued all the way to 329. Now you know.
