Notre Dame de Paris is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture. Its soaring roof, spectacular windows, and flying buttresses confirm why this cathedral was considered a symbol of paradise. A visit to Paris is not complete without a tour of Notre Dame de Paris. The cathedral is located near a Metro station on the Seine River, so it is certainly easy to find if you are on a Seine River Cruise.
Construction on Notre Dame was begun in 1163, and the cathedral was finished in the 13th century. Since its completion, Notre Dame has been a symbol of all of France.
