Built on a site occupied by earlier churches and, a millennium prior, a Gallo-Roman temple, Notre Dame was begun in 1163 and largely completed by the early 14th century. The cathedral was badly damaged during the Revolution, prompting architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc to oversee extensive renovations between 1845 and 1864. Enter the magnificent forest of ornate flying buttresses that encircle the cathedral chancel and support its walls and roof.
Notre Dame is known for its sublime balance, though if you look closely you’ll see all sorts of minor asymmetrical elements introduced to avoid monotony, in accordance with standard Gothic practice. These include the slightly different shapes of each of the three main portals, the statues of which were once brightly coloured to make them more effective as a Biblia pauperum – a ‘Bible of the poor’ to help the illiterate faithful understand Old Testament stories, the Passion of the Christ and the lives of the saints.
A constant queue marks the entrance to the Tours de Notre Dame, the cathedral’s bell towers. Climb the 400-odd spiralling steps to the top of the western façade of the North Tower, where you’ll find yourself on the rooftop Galerie des Chimères (Gargoyles Gallery), face to face with frightening gargoyles. These grotesque statues divert rainwater from the roof to prevent masonry damage, with the water exiting through the elongated, open mouth; they also, purportedly, ward off evil spirits. Although they appear medieval, they were installed by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century. From the rooftop there’s a spectacular view over Paris.
In the South Tower hangs Emmanuel, the cathedral’s original 13-tonne bourdon bell (all of the cathedral’s bells are named). During the night of 24 August 1944, when the Île de la Cité was retaken by French, Allied and Resistance troops, the tolling of the Emmanuel announced Paris’ approaching liberation.
Nine new bells were installed in 2013, replicating the original medieval chimes.
In the southeastern transept, the trésor (treasury) contains artwork, liturgical objects and first-class relics; pay a small fee to enter. Among its religious jewels and gems is the Ste-Couronne (Holy Crown), purportedly the wreath of thorns placed on Jesus’ head before he was crucified. It is exhibited between 3pm and 4pm on the first Friday of each month, 3pm to 4pm every Friday during Lent, and 10am to 5pm on Good Friday.
Easier to admire is the treasury’s wonderful collection, Les Camées des Papes (Papal cameos). Sculpted with incredible finesse in shell and framed in silver, the 268-piece collection depicts every pope in miniature from St Pierre to Pope Benoit XVI. Note the different posture, hand gestures and clothes of each pope.
Walk past the choir, with its carved wooden stalls and statues representing the Passion of the Christ, to admire the cathedral’s wonderful collection of paintings in its nave side chapels. From 1449 onwards, city goldsmiths offered to the cathedral each year on 1 May a tree strung with devotional ribbons and banners to honour the Virgin Mary – to whom Notre Dame (Our Lady) is dedicated. Fifty years later the goldsmiths’ annual gift, known as a May, had become a tabernacle decorated with scenes from the Old Testament, and, from 1630, a large canvas – 3m tall – commemorating one of the Acts of the Apostles, accompanied by a poem or literary explanation. By the early 18th century, when the brotherhood of goldsmiths was dissolved, the cathedral had received 76 such monumental paintings.
Music has been a sacred part of Notre Dame’s soul since birth. Experience its musical heritage on Sundays at a Gregorian or polyphonic Mass (10am and 6.30pm respectively) or a free organ recital (4.30pm).

一个恒定的队列标志着大教堂的钟楼Tours de Notre Dame的入口。爬上四百多个螺旋式台阶到达北塔西面的顶部，在那里你会发现自己在屋顶的Galerie des Chimères（Gargoyles画廊），与令人恐惧的怪兽面对面。这些奇形怪状的雕像将雨水从屋顶转移，以防止砖石受损，水从细长的开口中流出;据称，他们还可以抵御邪恶的灵魂。虽然它们看起来像中世纪，但它们是由EugèneViollet-le-Duc在十九世纪安装的。从屋顶可以欣赏到巴黎的壮丽景色。
在南塔悬挂着Emmanuel，这座大教堂原有的十三吨波登钟（所有大教堂的钟声都被命名）。在1944年八月二十四日晚上，当法国，盟军和抵抗军队重新夺回Île de la Cité时，伊曼纽尔的收费宣布巴黎即将解放。

更容易欣赏的是财宝的精彩系列，Les Camées des Papes（Papal
cameos）。这件268件的系列以精美的外壳和银色框架雕刻而成，描绘了从圣皮埃尔到教皇Benoit
XVI的每一位教皇。请注意每位教皇的不同姿势，手势和衣服。
走过合唱团，其雕刻的木制摊位和代表基督受难的雕像，在其教堂中殿的小教堂中欣赏大教堂精彩的画作。从1449年开始，城市金匠每年五月一日向大教堂献上一棵树，上面挂着灵修的丝带和横幅，以纪念圣母玛利亚
- 圣母玛利亚（圣母）献给他们。五十年后，金匠的年度礼物，被称为五月，已经成为一个装饰着旧约圣经的帐幕，从1630年开始，一个大型的画布
- 高3米 - 纪念使徒行传之一，伴随着诗歌或文学解释。到了十八世纪初，当金匠的兄弟情谊解散时，大教堂收到了七十六幅这样的纪念性画作。
自诞生以来，音乐一直是圣母院灵魂的神圣部分。周日以格里高利或复音弥撒（分别于上午十点和下午六点三十分）或免费的器官演奏会（下午四点三十分）体验其音乐传统。
