The beauty of Paris’ French gothic Notre
Dame is immediately evident. Its grand spires reach toward the sky and the façade
is too intricate to take in with a mere glance. After walking down the nave and
getting a good view of the altar and all the beautiful gothic chandeliers and
stained glass windows, we head out towards the garden. There is a man and some
children holding out little pieces of bread as birds come and peck right out of
their hands. Chrysanthemums, daisies, poppies, and bright yellow football mums line
the outside of Our Lady. It’s a beautiful sight to behold and reminds you why
Paris is often referred to as “The City
of Love.”
