There's one monument that's particularly dear to the hearts of Parisians. Considered to be the heart of the capital, towering above France's road network, Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral has inspired many artists, including Victor Hugo.

This impressive medieval edifice fascinates those who come to contemplate it. The fire that ravaged this historic monument in April 2019 has, unsurprisingly, aroused great emotion. Currently under construction, the cathedral is due to reopen by 2024.
