Notre-Dame Cathedral, a marvel of medieval architecture and a central figure in Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, stands majestically on the Île de la Cité, an island in the Seine River. After a devastating fire in 2019, the cathedral underwent extensive restoration, preserving its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can now admire the intricate stonework, soaring spires, and the historic significance of this iconic Parisian landmark.
