Notre Dame Cathedral

After 5 years of restoration, this stunning cathedral is reopening it's doors following the devistating fire in 2019. This stunning cathedral, like all medieval churches, was painted on the inside so a largely illiterate population could learn the Bible stories.

This stunning and imposing building is a must-see of Paris, particularly as the cathedral has witnessed many important ceremonies for Christianity and the history of nations.
