Paris France Guide Tours Night in Paris Paris Hotels

Paris : Few words evoke more emotion and promise than this one. Paris, the capital of France, the northern border of the Latin spirit. Paris, where the clichés are so potent that they ultimately become the real thing. Paris—briefly challenged in the early 1990s by Prague as the world’s finest hangout for English-speakers looking for high-quality lifestyles—has never lost, and will never lose, its place in the world as the Capital of Sophistication and the Hormonal City-State of Desire. It is here that you can best contemplate what it is you want from life.

Notre Dame

Construction on this masterpiece of Gothic architecture began in 1163 by Bishop Maurice de Sully and it was only after 182 years that it was fully completed. Over the years, it has undergone several restorations, particularly during the 19th century; however, the architecture has always been kept very similar to the original style used by Sully. During the Revolution for example, the anti-royalists destroyed the statues of kings that graced the building’s façade. (They are now to be found at the Musée de Cluny.

The cathedral’s interior is immense and can fit an amazing total of 6000 people inside. The 7800-pipe organ is another of the cathedral’s wonders, as are the stained glass rose windows that decorate its walls. When visiting this medieval masterpiece, keep in mind that the north tower is open to the public and climbing up the 387 stairs will bring you up to the west façade to admire the beautiful view of the city alongside the gargoyles adorning the top.
