Explorations - wonderful overview of the History of the
cathedral.
|
A
Gothic masterpiece situated in the heart of Paris. Entrance is
free, and the mass is highly recommended. At the end of the
ceremony, there is a procession through the narrow surrounding
streets.
Constructed in three stages, the
cathedral was completed in 1250.This period witnessed Paris coming
into its own force as a center of political power and commerce. No
expense was spared in creating a church that would reflect the
capital's newly won prestige.
A nice way to arrive is by river boat
along The Seine. When you disembark, take a few moments to marvel
at the artists along the river , who for a few Francs will sketch
your portrait. |
