Part 5/6:
As the cathedral gears up for its reopening, several important features highlight its cultural relevance. Among them is the grand organ, recognized as one of the largest in France, and the bells, each possessing unique names and historical significance. For instance, the largest bell, called Emmanuel, serves as a reminder of the cathedral's role in the spiritual and social life of Paris.
Notably, Notre-Dame Cathedral holds a unique position as "Point Zero" for the city: it is the reference point from which all roads to and from Paris are measured. This positioning emphasizes the cathedral’s integral role within the urban framework of the city itself—much like the heart of a living organism.
