The Church of Notre Dame stands tall, adorned with stunning stained glass windows that cast a kaleidoscope of colors onto the statue of St. Joan of Arc. It's a sight that truly captivates the soul. Intriguingly, even beyond its architectural wonders, it has left its mark on individuals as well. Barbara Denis de Vitre, Assistant HMI from France, embarked on an unforgettable journey to Germany. Her visit to Stuttgart brought her closer to understanding the artistry behind vitres - panes of glass known as "Fensterscheibe. " The allure doesn't end there; step back in time along Escalier du seizieme siecle on rue Notre-Dame 7 and witness the charm captured in an engraving. This picturesque street transports you to another era. Vitre's appeal extends far beyond borders too. During his trip to Brittany, even the President of France couldn't resist admiring this gem. Colour lithographs immortalize his fascination with this captivating region. Nature intertwines seamlessly with history at Chateau de Vitre - a majestic fortress offering breathtaking views from every angle. Whether it be gazing northward from Val or exploring Cote de la place through vibrant photographs, each perspective is more awe-inspiring than the last. Art enthusiasts will find solace within Vitre's artistic heritage as well. James Abbott McNeill Whistler beautifully depicted The Marketplace and The Canal in 1893 - masterpieces that evoke a sense of tranquility amidst bustling city life. Delving deeper into history reveals Antoine Vitre - typrographe du roi - whose craftsmanship left an indelible mark during his time under Jean Morin's guidance. As we conclude our exploration, we cannot overlook the President's visit to Brittany in 1914.
