Notre Dame
Notre Dame Cathedral is located on City Island. It is known as the "parish of France's history" because it is a place linked to the most important events in the history of France's sovereign rulers. It is among the most beautiful gothic constructions in the country and was built in several phases. Despite its many transformations, it remains in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
Notre Dame's founder was Bishop Maurice de Sully: work began in 1163 and went on until 1330. The chapels and the transept with splendid rose windows were added in the second half of the 1200s. The façade is dominated by two towers, 69m each in height and with three large portals representing the Universal Judgement, the
Virgin and Saint Anne. The floor plan of the church is made up of five aisles and internally decorated with paintings and statues in all its chapels. The Sacristy contains the Treasure of the Cathedral, comprising manuscripts and relics such as the Palatine Cross and cross of the spine of Jesus which Louis VII brought over to France and for which he constructed the Holy Chapel.
Monsters of stone or "gargoyles" protrude outside by the eaves. These are typical gothic subjects remembered in the very famous novel by Victor Hugo entitled "Notre Dame of Paris".
