"The Gothic soul of France — reborn"

About Notre-Dame de Paris

Among the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the world, Notre-Dame de Paris has stood on the Île de la Cité for over 850 years. Severely damaged by fire in April 2019, the cathedral underwent a remarkable five-year restoration and reopened in December 2024. Its soaring spire, iconic flying buttresses, and rose windows are symbols of Western civilisation.
