You are particularly interested in churches, cathedrals and architecture of these buildings. In Paris Paris there are some beautiful buildings that you should not miss, if one day you stay in the city of love.
One knows the tale of The Bellringer of Notre Dame or at least has heard of it. This story takes place mainly in the same cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris. This cathedral is one of the earliest Gothic church buildings in France and is the seat of the archbishopric of Paris. The church is in the 4th district and has room for 10,000 people. The distinctive towers are 69 meters high. Objects of the 17th to 18th century one can admire in the sacristy for a price of 1-3 Euro.
Ile de la cite in which there is also the Notre-Dame is certainly one of the most romantic and tranquil locations in Paris and the centre of Paris. Here, the medieval town was founded. This place is ideal to relax, because everything is a bit calmer and less people and cars are here. Walking across the bridge Pont Neuf one comes to the adjoining park. By the way Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris.
The Basilica of Sacre Cour or the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris is located in the beautiful district of Montmartre, on a 130 metre high hill. This Roman Catholic Church was built with Romano-Byzantine features. The white church contains one of the world's largest mosaics, and represents Jesus with outstretched arms. Either you go to the basilica through the park Scare Willette or you save yourself the steep climb and take the Funicular.
The Sainte Chapelle, also in Ile de la cite is definitely worth seeing. The gothic chapel was the former Palace Chapel of the royal residence. This chapel is certainly one of the finest monuments of Gothic architecture. The prices have increased slightly, but worth the visit. The opening times are between 9:30 and 6 pm from 1 November to 28 February until 5 pm.
You should "sacrifice" at least one weekend for this great city. There is a lot of accommodation around like holiday rentals or apartments which are great for a short stay.
