A bit of history
Notre-Dame Cathedral was built in the heart of Île de la Cité. Construction began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VII and was completed in the mid-14th century. A masterpiece of Gothic art, the cathedral has been the scene of many major events: crownings, royal weddings, and even the coronation of Napoleon in 1804.
The building impresses with its rose windows, gargoyles, majestic vaults, and two 69-meter towers overlooking the Seine. It has inspired generations of artists, notably Victor Hugo with his famous novel Notre-Dame de Paris in 1831.
On April 15, 2019, a devastating fire destroyed its spire and much of its framework. This event shocked France and the entire world. After a colossal construction project involving thousands of craftsmen and specialists, Notre Dame reopened its doors to the public on December 8, 2024.
