tions.
CATHÉDRALE NOTRE-DAME
Cathedral
(place de la Cathédrale; 7am-7pm; Langstross)
At once immense and intricate,
the cathedral is a riot of filigree stonework and flying buttresses, leering gargoyles
and lacy spires.
The west facade, most impressive if approached from rue Mercière, was com-
pleted in 1284, but the 142m spire - the tallest of its time - was not in place until
1439; its southern companion was never built.
