No other building represents the history of Paris more than Notre-Dame. Notre Dame Cathedral ranks as one of France's finest examples of Gothic architecture. When Pope Alexander The III that laid the first stone in 1163, marking the start of two centuries of toil by armies of Gothic architects and medieval craftsmen. It was restored and saved from destruction by Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. And even today it is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris.

What The New Age Traveler Says...?

Notre Dame Cathedral Guide. Is one of the most striking Gothic cathedrals in the world. Notre-Dame has had an eventful history over the centuries. from the windows to the façade, is a marvel to view. The grand cathedral stands on the Ile de la Cite, the oldest part of Paris. For me is one of the must see landmarks in Paris. In the nineteenth century Notre Dame was in a very bad shape and Victor Hugo made a petition to save the cathedral. When you visiting this Gothic masterpiece, keep in mind that the north tower is open for the public and climbing up the 387 stairs will bring you up to the west façade to admire the beautiful view of all the city of Paris.
