5. Notre-Dame

Situated at the very heart of Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral remains one of the most stunning icons of this beautiful city.

Immortalised in countless novels and films, this centre of worship has been built and rebuilt over the centuries into the monument it is today – with construction beginning in 1163, and ending two hundred years later, and a massive restoration project taking place over two decades in the mid-19th century – a testament to the people of France and to their faith.
