Paris | Notre Dame des Paris | Day 7

Day SEVEN

Another iconic stop on our Paris visit. This gothic style cathedral  really is beautiful inside and out - and not too busy. Notre Dame took about 100 years to build, from 1163-1272. Notre Dame des Paris ('Our Lady of Paris') was built in dedication to Mary the Mother of God, and inside there are 37 depictions of her throughout the church. The area is lovely too, we checked out the lock bridge, river and Boulevard Saint Michelle while we were in the area. On the way home we went back to the Louvre to check how much it cost and to lie in the sun in the lovely green parks that are located west of the main entrance. Napoleon would have had one hell of a view from his bedroom window.
