On arrival, we made our way to Notre Dame Cathedral.  I do not have the words to fully describe the experience of being in that magnificent gothic building with its soaring roof and detailed statues, and many worship spaces.

The scale of the building is incredible, with many chapels and secluded areas to break up the enormity of the space and to give a sense of communion with others and with the divine. 

The image below goes some way to show the scale and the complexity of the cathedral. Three stories reach to the sky, supported outside by enormous buttresses, shed light onto the floor.

The height of the building is amazing and the alter area and beyond look narrow but are in perfect proportion.
