Paris Notre Dame & the Arc de Triomphe

Notre Dame, Paris. She's a Gothic chic, a Roman Catholic church.
Notre Dame means, "Our Lady" and its not a football team.

I'm still trying to figure out what the buzz is all about besides the architecture.


This is the world's largest triumphal arch, the Arc de Triomphe.

It is a memorial for those who died in Napoleon's day who fought for France and it continues to be a memorial for those who died in more mordern times during WWI and WWII.

You can see people on top.
This is the view from the top.
