Note Dame
Ah, I think Notre Dame has to be my favourite place in Paris. The grandeur is breathtaking, and I can only imagine what it must have been like to visit in Medieval times. Stunning. So lovely to read that your Mum had such a lovely time, as I'm sure you all did ?

Notre Dame was stunning though, no doubt about that. And just imagine people in medieval times seeing it for the first time, wow!
