| Notre Dame de Paris, often
known simply as Notre Dame in (English), is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern
half of the Île de la Cité in Paris, France, with its main
entrance to the west. It is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and
is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered
one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It was restored
and saved from destruction by Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous
architects. Notre Dame translates as "Our Lady" from French. |
