Notre Dame was the place for many important events in history. One of those important events was the crowning of Napoleon.
The novel “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” by author Victor Hugo was an appeal for help to save the church from its decline. The author succeeded. Notre Dame was restored, and appears in full brilliance today.
