. The entire area was closed off to traffic, police were everywhere and we were so moved to join many thousands for this really special Catholic farewell to the Pope who had visited for a special service at the NotreDame 'Our Lady' in May 1980.
NotreDamedeParis, as it stands, was not the first church on this site but the church as it is now, has been a visually impressive part of the Paris scene, beside the Seine river, since the first foundation stone was laid in 1163 using plans designed by Maurice de Sully.
Construction took three stages until it was finished in 1250, with huge sponsorship from French kings during this time and from wealthy benefactors through the years.
Some vital statistics will give you an idea of how huge and impressive NotreDame is: 130m long, 48m wide and 35 m high; the Twin Towers are 69 metres high and you ...

CATHEDRALE NOTREDAMEDEPARIS

INTRODUCTION
I love Paris.
In fact I could have written that famous song, 'I love Paris in the Springtime."!!

Better known as The Hunchback of NotreDame, NotreDamedeParis was written by Victor Hugo as a tribute to the Parisian cathedral and the beauty of its lost Renaissance city.
The main character is Quasimodo, the grotesque hunchback and cathedral bell ringer, adopted as a baby and brought up by the serious-minded, emotionless archdeacon Claude Frollo.
Both Quasimodo and Frollo find themselves driven into a passionate obsession for a young and beautiful gypsy girl - Esmerelda.
But Esmerelda - kind-hearted but a little shallow - only has eyes for the handsome, vainglorious Captain Phoebus.
The complex, interweaving love story is bound to end in tragedy.
