Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Paris by River Seine
Cathédrale de Notre Dame is an iconic landmark of Paris. This Gothic masterpiece is world-famous for its size, ancient past and fine architecture. It is located on the Ile de la Cité, in the historic centre of Paris. The Île de la Cité is one of two natural islands on River Seine. It is a short walk from the Palais de Justice and Sainte Chapelle.
