Notre Dame

The Notre Dame is situated in a beautiful and historic part of Paris.  It is an incredible church.  Each time I go in it, I want to stay for hours.  Even if you are not Christian, it is worth it to have a look from the outside – can you believe they started building it in 1163?.  However, remember to look around the back of the church.  Some people stay only at the front side of the church and miss out on the cute garden behind the Notre Dame with an fantastic view of the back of the cathedral. Many people find the back is more breathtaking than the front.  When you are at Notre Dame don’t miss the small metal plate on the ground almost directly in front of the Cathedral.  It’s called the point zero and all the distances in France are measured from this spot.
