The historic Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral is located on the ile de la Cité and is a point of reference for the whole of Paris. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is considered as one of the most beautiful monuments in the world.
The emblematic cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris was devastated by a catastrofic fire on 15 April 2019. The building survived the fire, but unfortunately the wooden roof and the majestic bells were totally destroyed. The cathedral is now closed for works.
Center Georges Pompidou (Center Beaubourg, Musée National d’Art Moderne ), Place George Pompidou (Métro: Rambuteau). A museum of contemporary art that is different from the others (what a cliché!).
