The cathedral of Notre Dame was began in 1220,and finished in 1264 except for the towers which were not completed until 14th or 15th centuries. It was damaged after the revolution and restored by Viollet-le-Duc.
The nave is 145 m long and reaches to 42.3 m. It is the longest nave in France, but not the highest.

This rose window is in the south transept, and stopped me to look.

Taken with Pentax LX camera on Kodachrome film.

About Fred Mitchell

Spend most of my time with images of yesterday (or before), but enjoy use of the Pentax K5 when possible.

    I am sorry, but my French guide makes no mention of heritage, and I just assumed.
