Notre Dame

Another Paris must see is Notre Dame -- which Josh informed me means, "Our Lady". This cathedral is well-known for its use of the flying buttress support system. You can giggle too. I did every time Josh said BUTTress. I am easily entertained.

Check out the BUTTs.

This is part of the entry door. The doors must have been at least 30 feet high.

A little taste of what the inside had to offer. Imagine more stained glass and chandeliers than you have ever seen. And, if that wasn't enough, you could even make your very own cathedral mixed tape as a take home souvenir.

  1. Maybe some day I'll see the BUTTs for myself. This brought back fond memories of high school French class - our teacher was very into not only learning the language but also learning the culture, etc. (Your pictures are much better than whatever textbook she showed us!)
