Paris Trip, Oct 2006 - Notre Dame de Paris

More famous landmarks from Paris: the Notre Dame on the Île de la Cité.




SP and I on the Western side of the Cathedral

The detailed stonework on the Portal of the Last Judgement.


Another photos from the Eastern side of the cathedral

The rose window of the North transept, depicting stories from the Old Testament

Some interesting trivia from Wiki:

France's "Point zéro", the reference point for distances along the highways starting in Paris, is situated in the square in front of the cathedral. Tradition hold that tourists who stand on Point zéro will one day return to Paris. (Point zero is a stone in the ground)

I should have stand on it for a few more times!
