Notre Dame is Roman Catholic Church. They first started construction around 1163
and finished around 1345. It has gone
through several periods of renovations as well.
Notre Dame is most famous for its amazing French Gothic architecture. The church is directly located besides the
Seine, a 482 mile long river. The
cathedral is open every day from 8am to 6:45. ( til 7:15 on Saturdays and
Sundays) It is completely free of charge
and open to the public. Attending a church service is also free of charge and
open to anyone interested. My friends
and I attended one. Although the service
is in French, It was a great experience.
The 11:30am service on Sundays has selected readings and excerpts in
English. They also offer walking tours and audio guides some at a minimal cost.
It is truly an astonishing site to see
and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. For more information about mass times and tours click here
