Weekend wonder


Notre-Dame Cathedral has resumed its place as the jewel of Western civilization.

***

The Relics of Notre-Dame, purchased by Saint Louis in 1238 from the Latin Emperor of the East, arrived in Paris in 1239. Saved from the 2019 fire they include the crown of thorns, a piece of the cross, and a nail.

Note: To reduce waiting time at the entrance, entirely optional online reservations (free access) can be booked just a few hours before visiting the cathedral.
