Featured Holiday
One of the first and most impressive examples of Gothic architecture, Notre Dame is more than a place of artistic and religious interest. The romance of Victor Hugo’s literary association and the legend of an eternal desire to return to Paris for all travellers who stand here at France’s ‘Point Zero’ make this riverside beauty one of the best known in the world, and to those who visit its welcoming shade in the Summer, nestling in a circle of trees and surrounded by Paris’s elegant houses, it is unforgettably beautiful. Construction was finished in the 14th Century, completing the postcard picture of its unmistakable central spire and fanned-out flying buttresses arcing up to the roof. Inside, a famous organ, vividly colourful stained glass windows and (unusually for the period,) naturalistic sculptures can be admired.
