'I'm not a religious believer, yet despite that I go to church. I love the architecture, the music, the words of the Bible, and the sense of sharing something profound with other people. I have long found deep spiritual peace in the great cathedrals, as do many millions of people, believers and nonbelievers alike.'
A great, short history of Notre Dame- built on the site of a Roman Temple to Jupiter. Notre Dame was the 5th church built on that site.
All proceeds of this book go towards the restoration of Our Lady. 💖 ⛪️ 💖
It‘s hard to believe that it‘s been a little over 2 years since the devastating fire at Notre Dame. Whether you‘ve visited this monument or not, it was heartbreaking to witness. This book was written as an homage to the great cathedral soon after the fire. And all proceeds are being donated to reconstruction efforts. I found the history quite interesting and it wasn‘t drawn out. Absorbing and succinct. 4/5⭐️
pickI was broken-hearted when slightly over a year ago, much beloved Norte Dame burned. Ken Follett‘s amour for this historical cathedral and its history made and an interesting read. Paris has had a rough few years and it‘s their turn for things to improve.
I was fortunate enough to meet Agnès Poirier last week at l‘Institut Français Royaume-Uni. She was introducing a showing of a fantastic documentary about the organ in Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, and I grabbed the opportunity to ask her to sign a copy of her latest book, which I am eagerly looking forward to reading. #agnespoirier #notredamedeparis #notredame #paris #history #books #france #frenchhistory
This is so true. This is why I do seemingly ridiculous things. I want to be able to say I tried, even if I failed, than to regret not even trying.

Going to make this my next read in between listening to mr. penumbras 24 hour bookstore. I‘ve been wanting to go to Paris all my life and still hope to get there but Notre Dame will never be the same. 🇫🇷 🥖 📚♥️
