Construction

The Cathedral was to be built in the new gothic style and had to reflect Paris's status as the capital of the Kingdom France. It was the first cathedral built on a monumental scale and became the prototype for future cathedrals in France, like the cathedrals of Amiens, Chartres or Rheims, just to name the most famous.公仔箱論壇8 F/ k7 b7 B  i
The Building

The result is an overwhelming building, 128m long (420 ft) with two 69 meter tall towers (226 ft). The spire, which reaches 90m (295 ft), was added in the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc. The Notre-Dame Cathedral has several large rose windows, the northern 13th century window is the most impressive. The massive window has a diameter of 13.1 meter.

第二次世界大戰之前位於法國東方所設的防御工事，由鋼筋混凝土建造而成，十分堅固。由於造價昂貴，所以僅防御法德邊境，至於荷蘭則由英法聯軍作後援。防線內部擁有各式大炮、壕溝、堡壘、廚房、發電站、醫院、工廠等等，通道四通八達，較大的工事中還有電車通道。
% R0 L" q3 d8 {0 Y由於法比邊界的阿登高地地形崎嶇，不易運動作戰，所以法軍沒有多加防備，但萬萬沒有想到德軍會由此突破。1940年5月德軍誘使英法聯軍支援荷蘭，再偷襲阿登高地，聯合荷蘭德軍將聯軍圍困在敦克爾克。而馬奇諾防線也因為德軍襲擊其背部而失去作用。

The “miracle” was achieved through improvisation and outstanding organisation, but it was also reliant on the bravery of sailors, airmen and soldiers, many of whom held back German forces in order  to allow the  evacuation to take place.
