Part 3/9:
The Notre-Dame de Paris, or "Our Lady of Paris," is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture, situated on the picturesque Île de la Cité. Dating back to the 13th century, the cathedral is laden with intricate details and storied history, including its role in monarchic ceremonies.
Visitors should also explore the nearby Conciergerie, a former royal palace turned prison during the French Revolution, where Marie Antoinette was held. Walking around Île de la Cité offers a unique glimpse into Paris's historical past on cobbled, elegant streets.
