The tragic April 15 fire that severely damaged Notre Dame cathedral in Paris prompted us to revisit the photos we’ve taken in Paris of the Cathedral. Between April 2012 and November 2018 we have been lucky enough to stay in Paris and see Notre Dame four times, and have visited inside twice, so we had … Continue reading Notre Dame Memories
