Paris, France: Notre Dame Cathedral

On April 15, 2019, a fire broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral that did considerable damage to the facility. People from around the world were heart-broken over the damage to one of the planet's great places.

It was particularly true that were only a couple of weeks away from a visit to Paris. That would be me.

Notre Dame was built between 1160 and 1260 on an island in Paris. It was famous for its French Gothic architecture, its massive bells and its huge organ. The twin towers have been a landmark for centuries.

Happily, a massive reconstruction project followed. The place is now better than ever, according to reports. Admission is free, but reservations are definitely a good idea.
