Explorations ⎮ Notre-Dame Through Time

Learn about the extraordinary story of Notre-Dame in a journey that takes you from Roman temple to a Christian sacred complex, to UNESCO monument and to the fire-damaged cathedral’s rebirth. It is a space not only sacred to catholics, but also a cultural testament to eight hundred years of history, art, and architecture that drew from a dynamic multi-cultural and religiously diverse medieval world.
