A local attraction in Paris Notre Dame Cathedral


Paris Notre Dame


Second only to the Eiffel Tower as a symbol of France, the Cathédrale Notre Dame is both a tourist destination and a working church.

Built between 1163AD and 1345AD the Gothic masterpiece remains today one of the world's great structures. The large interior can seat 6,000 at the base.

But, for many, the big attraction is the 387-step climb to the top of the famous towers.Once reached via that winding, narrow passageway the visitor enters a large area dominated by a huge church bell and spectacular sights of Paris

From here it's easy to imagine the fictional Quasimodo (the Hunchback of Notre Dame) ringing the 13-ton bell and clambering on the gargoyles around the perimeter.

The near-360 degree view of Paris and the close-up views of the many statues make the climb well worth the effort. Take care coming up, though. There's no guard rail and traffic runs both ways.

Entering the church is an experience. The high, rib-vaulted ceilings and the many stained-glass windows give the interior an appearance that awes, no matter how well prepared you are.

Though in many ways typical of the period, the design is nonetheless staggering.

Here it's easy to picture the self-crowning of Napoleon or the return of General de Gaulle at the end of WWII.

The 7,800-pipe organ alone makes a visit worthwhile.

    We visit Paris every couple of years and stay in a hotel as near to the centre as we can afford.So this year we decided to have a change and stay in an apartment.The cost is about the same there is no cheap accommodation in Paris.Unless you stay on the outskirts but then you have travelling cost so you are no better off.What we liked liked about the apartment was the feeling you were a resident of Paris if only for a short while.We lived like a local shopped in the local markets even if it was only for 5 days.The hotels are fine but you are just a tourist.
