Cathédrale Notre-Dame, a Gothic architectural masterpiece, has adorned the Île de la Cité since 1163. The famous gargoyles on the façade are used to drain water from the roof's gutters.
We were looking forward to going inside this amazing place, but sadly in April 2019, there was a large fire that partially destroyed the upper part of Notre Dame Cathedral. The fire caused severe damage, but the monument could be partly saved.
The Cathedral will be accessible to the public in 2024.
This place is a cool spot for Instagram photos. It is a stunning palace. Make sure to stroll the garden and the courtyard.
