The Towers of Notre Dame

The Gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame was built around 1200 by Maurice de Sully. By about 1250, Jean de Chelles built the north arm and began work on the south arm, which was completed by Jean de Montreuil.

The chapels of Notre Dame were constructed by the early 1300s. The buttresses next to the chevet are one of the buildings major attractions.

Notre Dame is a priceless attraction. Indeed, it is one of the few free attractions in Paris - you only have to pay if you want to climb the towers

One person’s gargoyle is someone else's not worth the sweat thanks all the same. Whilst the gargoyles don’t do awful lot (like springing to life and eating people) they are impressive and you are rewarded with a great view of Paris.

Is that not something!   Click here to see other photos.
