Notre Dame

I could not believe the news of the fire at Notre Dame cathedral. We visited it in 2014, and below are some pictures we took. I’ve also included some of the pictures from news orgs post fire for some perspective. We did not take pictures of the roof that was damaged, we just got the facade and a little of the interior.

Inteiror of cathedral - we chose not to stand in the very long line to get to the front close to the altar.

Altar inside Notre Dame - the image is pixelated as I had to zoom since we were outside the area immeidately next to the altar.
