Located in the historic heart of the French capital, on Île de la Cité, Notre Dame de Paris is an architectural marvel of the Gothic era. More than a place of worship, this awe-inspiring cathedral is an important symbol of the city and a cultural icon, featured in countless films, literature, and works of art.
