Presentation
The cathedral was built over a period of 200 years. Its construction was initiated by Bishop Maurice de Sully around 1160.
Architects Lassus and Viollet-le-Duc spent 20 years restoring it in the 19th century to undo the damage caused by the Revolution and the disastrous modifications made in the 18th century.
A prime example of Gothic architecture, its towers rise to a height of 69 m.
Notre-Dame is also the mythical setting of Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. After climbing 400 steps, visitors can discover its fantastic chimeras and hear the bourdon ring as it did in the days of Quasimodo.
