Though it was a misty and dull weather still decided to head to the Notre Dame of Paris. Do you recognise this picture on the right? Yes this was the view of the Notre Dame very many years back.What would be Paris like without Notre Dame? Work for this gothic masterpiece was begun in 1163 by Bishop Maurice de Sully, and its construction was completed only in 1345.
We were lucky to know how this master piece was constructed. At 9.15 in the evening there is a show inside Notre Dame which explains the different phases.
The show begins with the explanation on significance of the place and how the plan evolved and from where all the stones for the building were brought. Pope Alexander III laid the foundation stone. 
I was told infact its dangerous to buy some land in Paris without knowing the history of the place. It's possible that there could be some big holes there in the land from were the stones would have been moved ;-)
Then we walked past the Hotel de Ville - The city hall of Paris.
