Notre Dame from the right bank


Here's some more of my cathedral. Did you know that the square in front of Notre Dame is "zero kilometer" for all of France? All maps are measured from there to the borders. Just like that pole in front of Brother Brigham in Salt Lake City. From the still unfinished steps of Notre Dame, Heraclius of Caesaria called for the beginning of the third crusade in 1185. Also, Napolean Bonaparte was crowned the Emporer here on December 2nd 1804. That's a pretty neat place, eh?
