Located on the Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame Cathedral, which has dominated the French capital for more than a millennium, was built over two centuries. Throughout its history, it has witnessed coronations, revolutions and destruction. It has also experienced periods of abandonment and was recently threatened by the terrible fire which threatened to destroy it completely.
