Reopens after Fire

World Heritage Site of Cultural Significance Restored

Notre-Dame de Paris is a world chimera overlooking Paris from the north
heritage site of cultural significance. The tower. Climbing the 387 steps to the top

Hunchback of Notre-Dame, a novel by gives a close-up look at the sculpture of
French writer Victor Hugo and subject

of many musical adaptations, was set in
this cathedral where Napoleon crowned

himself Emperor in the 19th century and
Joan of Arc was rehabilitated in the 15th

century. Five years after the disastrous 2019
fire, this iconic monument was reopened.

The construction of Notre-Dame

began in 1163. It was largely completed in
1260 and has since been modified many

times. In addition to Biblical paintings and
sculptures, the cathedral features original

pointed rib arches, flying buttresses, and
details in the corridors and glass windows.

Its two iconic 69-meter 13th-century
bell towers are known for the 13-ton bell
housed in the south tower and Le Stryge
