4 nights holiday in Paris, France – £174 pp (flights and accommodation)

Notre-Dame is in the heart of Paris, on the-la-Cité, near the Latin neighborhood.An island in the Sena river, Île-de-La-Cité is the historical and geographical center of Paris.On this small land, the Romanians built the Gallo-Roman city of Lutheia, and from the 5th century, the kings of France lived here.The cathedral was created for the first time in the early Gothic style, while the subsequent additions (the western part and the nave) show the transition to the high Gothic style.Tourists are immediately struck by the ornamental design of the facade, with its abundance of sculptures and Gargoyle, while the elaborate flying contraventions offer structural integrity to the huge building.Rows of 28 complicated carved figures reveal representations of the French kings, from Childebert I (511-588) to Philippe Auguste.These figures lost their heads during the revolution.(The heads are now exposed to the Cluny Museum.)The sanctuary seems almost endless and attracts visitors with the light of the flickering candles.The most remarkable window is the showcase in the northern transet.This amazing work of art presents 80 Old Testament scenes centered around the Virgin.The extent of the damages is still uated.At this moment, the interior is closed to the public.The city intends to rebuild the cathedral and bring it back to its previous state.It is expected that the reopening will take place in 2024. In the reopening, the congregation of Notre-Dame de Paris will celebrate the Liturgy at Eglise Saint-Germain L 'Auxerrois (2 Place du Louvre) of the Aroundment 1
