Towers of Notre Dame de Paris


The construction of the Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral, undertaken at the initiative of Maurice de Sully, began about 1160 and amazingly was completed within 40 years. The Towers of Notre Dame are amongst the great delights of the cathedral and, provided you have the energy for the ascent, they give a spectacular view over central Paris.
