Notre-Dame de Paris
The Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris dates back to 1163 but was not completed until 1345. It is one of the masterpieces of Gothic art in Western Europe. Its facade, the soaring Gothic ribbed vaulting, its huge light-filled interior and awe-inspiring stained glass windows are magnificent artistic achievements. The square in front of the Cathedral is called the Place du Parvis. In the center is a plaque from which all road distances in France are measured. Of course, this is the setting for Victor Hugo's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'.
La Sainte Chapelle
See the exquisite stained glass windows of this small 12th century church built by Louis IX to house what he believed to be a part of the Cross and for which he paid more than the church itself. Try to visit on a sunny day when it looks like a 'jewel box'
The Marais
With its many cafes, restaurants, clubs, fashion boutiques and "maisons et objects" stores, it is the center of Paris's vibrant gay community. Shops are open on Sunday when most other parts of Paris are closed. On rue St. Crois de la Bretonnerie is the gay bookstore 'es Mots a la Bouche', and a nice salon for tea is 'Mariage Freres', 30-32 rue du Bourg-Tibourg.
The Latin Quarter
This is the oldest and intellectual center of Paris and acquired its name around 1253 when all students and professors at the Sourbonne spoke Latin. Bookstores, schools, churches, jazz clubs, Roman ruins, publishing houses, and boutiques, characterize the district. It is the traditional center of what was called "bohemian Paris". It formed the setting for Puccini’s opera, 'La Boheme'.
