Paris (#26) - Notre-Dame de Paris

People are sitting at an outdoor café as evening approaches -- It's a scene that is so commonplace this could be anywhere.  But the one with Notre-Dame silhouetted in the background?  That is so Parisian.

A friend of mine recently returned from his first visit to France.  While he and his wife enjoyed everything about their trip, he said Notre-Dame was the only thing he really cared about after waiting to see it for 20 years.  I know he was not exaggerating.  The cathedral does have an appeal that evokes a deep sense of admiration and awe, even in a person who's seen it many times.

This majestic Gothic architecture with the famous flying butresses looks very impressive from any angle, in any weather, and at any time of a day.
