MONTFALCON PORTAL - LAUSANNE

In my post (see link), last week, I spoke about Lausanne's splendid Cathedral of Notre-Dame, described as Switzerland's finest and most representative example of Gothic architecture.

Today, I'm going to show you the last batch of the pictures I took there... I have decided to share with you the details of the Montfalcon Portal (thus named after a sixteenth-century bishop), a monumental arched doorway. As you can see, it is richly decorated with sculptures of biblical figures, saints, bishops and various creatures.

LAUSANNE - CATHEDRAL

Today, I am sharing a set of photos that I would normally put up on my blog on Fridays. Exceptionally, due to Daring Bakers schedules, the Wednesday recipe will be posted on Saturday (28th of February, around 12h00 AM) instead...

As I still had a few shots left of my trip to Lausanne (in November 2008), I thought that I'd show you how the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and it's surroundings look. Enjoy!
