A wonderful gothic cathedral in the center of Paris, France – directly on Île de la Cité. It has been built between 1163 and 1345, offers space for 9000 worshippers and is well known to the world (at least by Victor Hugos “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame“). It is the blueprint for gothic cathedrals around the world.
This place will always be crowded by lots of tourists. If you want to enjoy the gothic architecture and the gorgeous glass windows in silence, come here in the early hours of the morning. The arcs (within and outside the cathedral), statues and figurines of mythical creatures on the roof are always worth coming here.
