20. 19 for them, not saddam as my heart, my soul. the bass is a symbol of paris. i'm in love with harris, that he rebuilding the church after the inferno is a major challenge. we will show you how much work goes into repairing. just for windows. this is not, not a damn, it's cologne cathedral. many people here also see this as the heart of their city. the idea that the cathedral might burn down is unthinkable alfie. oh, how terrible. what else could she say of adding that be very, very tragic. i think it has been as a terrible thing. i can imagine, but what does cologne have to do with not true down in cologne, cathedrals class workshop, katrin, which that, and her team are restoring the 4 windows from paris. their regular job is to maintain the many windows in the clone cathedral. some of them are over 700 years old. here i like lean restore stick pieces together. we do simply everything we

need to preserve distracted for the future. not to dam needs, preserving as well. so the clone cathedral workshop offered its help in the restoration work with an enormous logistical effort. the 4 windows were shipped from paris. first, the team had to clean them. the fire had coated them with toxic lead dust, the worst destruction, the flames wrought was on the lead roof and its wood beam truss. the voting was damaged as well. so the windows had to be removed. over 830000000 euros in donations. have come in for the reconstruction. the cathedrals slated to reopen in late 2024. that deadline is looming as all softly in terms of the specific restoration process is required, the windows and all that difficult. so we're fairly relax. what's pushing us is the

great time pressure imposed by paris again, but that's not usual here in the cathedral, but of course we're under that same pressure l. the team has 700000 euros and 13 months to devote to the repair work. it may sound like a lot, but it has to suffice for an impressive 100 square meters of stained glass in need of attention. the repair work is documented down to the smallest detail, the windows must be restored to their original condition. as of that, there's not as much damage as he might think after it is asked to like that a few pains and cracks can be cemented together again, all we can repair them in some other way. and there are just a few smaller pieces will replace. so we have to find the right kind of glass painted using the historical methods and refitted into the entire section. stylistically, the 4 windows are relatively martin and abstract. they were created a 1965 by the french glass painter. jack la chevalier. some of his techniques

present the team with unexpected challenges. bunch of analysis ever yet also true with his son and it's not easy to imitate elements. one of us will probably be immortalized with a thumbprint of an adapter game, even with him thing optimal. this isn't the 1st restoration undertaken on these windows, but some of the previous efforts don't seem to have been quite as conscientious on as about. this isn't even glance out. it's plastic plexiglas. we've never actually had that before. as i'm a type of, he thought when you go restorer, read cache nipper replaces the fake glass with real glass in the appropriate colors . and the many pieces of lead that hold the glass together have to be repaired or replaced. glass painter alady schneider is here from france. she takes care of those that were sunk. i think it's incredible and very inspiring to be working

on the restoration of not her dom here in cologne cathedral. and i guess it's something extraordinary and unusual that only comes along one in a lifetime. the windows are due to head back to paris. the installation brings the reopening of the restored not to damn one step closer. black forest cake is perhaps germany's most well known sweet trees. but anyone who has been to a german bakery knows there is a lot more on offer coffee and cake in the afternoon as a german institution. and we take a look at just how important it is. did you know that germany's afternoon coffee and kate tradition actually precedes the british often in t boss, japanese may be more known for it, beer or bread. cake is actually a pretty big deal here. so what else do you need to know about cake here? grab a fork. let's david cake in germany comes with his own rituals. namely,

kathy includes wooden coffee and cake, usually enjoyed in the afternoon around $330.00, especially with friends and family on sundays. a trip to my german grandparents isn't companies with this ritual. now is a good time to examine the german classics at the end of our forks. this one is world famous, black forest gases or spots vecchio estrada. quite of my film . literally, it's famous flores, copious layers of green chocolate. and of course, jerry, it's not clear exactly where this cake originates from. i said i would suggest germany's black forest, but there are lots of myths and legends surrounding its origin. other cakes are also named after german times in regions. besides the black forest ghetto. there's the loop back my pancake and the frankfurt prime cake. my pancake is a lube back speciality, while the appointments frankfurt crime cake is one of the german financial capitals

. tastiest treats other german classic cakes are the beast and cake, layered fries and cake. with short crust, crumble cake, poppy, seed cake, and the famed apple cake. a few cakes are popular well beyond the borders of germany, and some of their back stories have roots and water, no neighboring countries. ah, regardless of where in germany, it's from though you can get your kate from almost any bakery or from specialized shops like with history for a confectionary that specialize in, take the time. never as good as almost secret recipe though, my almost plum cake, it's unbeatable. of course, he couldn't rely on the germans for some specific cake related vocab. the most important one is the difference between corklin and tata. it's confusing but kate doesn't actually mean cake and german tartar or tart is a cake made with cream like this one. whereas couldn't cake is usually more related

to dryer doors, sometimes with fruit. then there's cafe clutch. i love it literally means exchanging gossip over coffee and cake. and finally callo v and bama quite literally calorie palm, self explanatory. basically, cake made with cream and sugar. the classic german cakes are traditionally made with lots of sugar, butter and cream, tast amazing, but not exactly super food. that's why there are more and more reagan and healthy cafe. it's like this one. the offer is exclusively vague and cake demand for reagan products has been rising noticeably for years. in germany. pastry chef chef. he taught sca is herself beacon and has set about reinventing german classics for her cafe, dispensing entirely with animal products of mine. smart. sometimes i get patrons who st bus or has to be in it some korean on that. i and none of this is genuine

that but right from the stars, it's been important for me to make an vega viewable for me, illegal and organic go together. ability is available, i don't work with any adults is either, i don't use anything like that because my husband, the other, the best thing is the smiles on people's faces when they find they can eat everything here. many are allergic to eggs. they're overjoyed when they stand in front of the display case and see so many options. i get many people who say the crumble, kate taste just like grandmas. that's the best one, i guess as best the compliment lou german cake has always had a special place in my heart because of my german grandmother. and now i understand why her case are so good. it's part of german college air. i personal favorite will always be funky, any one who has seen pictures of venice, italy will easily recognize the iconic st. mark's square for the famous re alto bridge, usually without a person in sight. but is that the case in real life?

we went to venice for a reality check some mog square re alto bridge. welcome to venice. colorful architecture and only a few people around the italian lagoon city looks fantastic on instagram. but how is it in reality time to find out a heads up and then is, is always full of visitors. it's unlikely you'll ever have anything and tiny to yourself even so venice offers lots of pomp and splendor. venice was want a great maritime power and it shows saint mark square is one of the most famous squares in the world. and our popular photo motif batch. you'll be sharing it with many others busily snapping pictures.

not even this construction site can tarnish the squares. great beauty, but you'll need to be patient if you want to visit any of the holdings. long lines in front of the dose is palace and st. mark's basilica are common. how about another must see sight on some mark square light, cafe florian, for example. it's over 300 years old. ever to expect lots of visitors here too. though with a little luck you might find a sate farm verdict. cafe florian is worth a visit, although it's not cheap. a cappuccino costs? 15 euros, but it's right on to mark square, which you shouldn't miss during a visit to venice. just expect b crowns. let's visit the 2nd venice hotspot the equally famous and much photographed re alto bridge. from a fall the bridge looks large and it doesn't seem crowded. but when you're on the

bridge it gets very busy. why do people put themselves through this? we actually got here by accident. so it's my fault. i'm kidding, i'm get a. you have to see it. it's like an iconic iconic place to be. oh wow, it's stallion. gorgeous. for me. wow. the beautiful mid c, e o o. k knows in the sun. say it's and raise the beautiful place. we can company anything about this thing. so we legally allowed to stay here for a while and under the sunset, our verdict, though the bridge is crowded, the view of the grand canal is worth it, especially when the sun sets in the west. ah

anne, speaking of water, our last hot spot is bertino island, reachable by water bass across the lagoon. it takes 40 minutes to reach the small island. morano became famous on instagram, mainly because of its colorful fishermen's cottages. our 1st impression is that yes, each of the small fishermen's houses has really been painted in a different color. but around lunchtime it gets really crowded. the elevated narrow bridge is articulately suitable for getting a good view of the cottages. here too, it's worth taking a look behind the scenes because many fishermen still live in, but on to this day we've still got to find out just why all these houses are so colorful. i feel a big go to shuttle do any good. i'll tell you,

there are 2 explanations that he say, why don't forget the houses are so colorful because it's often foggy here with god . it's only 40 do it. so the fisherman, who used to travel for 3 or 4 days on end, the painted their houses to tell them apart, i will give me the like out in colorado that don't other than the but there's also another hypothesis that my grandfather believed up in on a good he, he thought the fisherman painted their houses because they weren't drunk go to dubious, keep with gather, even if the fish harley had hardly anything to eat on the bow gentlemen, they always had wine with them, with agreeing to receive it. i don't know which explanation is riley, she will had since i was a kid. i've been told it was either the fog i was or the wine or let me be up v and all that. we have it. whichever i explanation is true, the colorful cottages of brawner are definitely eye catching. our verdict, verano is great. the re alto bridge and sir mark square are usually very full,
