Construction of Notre Dame began in 1163 and it took nearly 200 years to complete, finishing around 1345.
It has been the religious center of Paris and the site of major events like royal weddings, coronations and national funerals.
Not too long ago, on April 15, 2019, a devastating fire destroyed the spire and much of the roof.
Sympathies and donations poured in from around the world.
Reconstruction began shortly after.
The ground floor of Notre Dame re-opened recently and they distribute tickets on-line over a rolling 3 day window.
With perseverance I was able to book us tickets to get inside.
