Hey guys, we visited Paris two years ago so I’ve decided to write about Notre Dame. The main reason I’ve decided to write about it is because its just such an amazing place. But when a fire broke out, I realized that I really wanted to write a report about it. We’re not actually going to Paris this trip, but we went there two years ago and I was really influenced by it, so here I am writing about it now.

History of Notre Dame:

Notre Dame burned partially two months ago. It had took hundreds of years to build.

In 1163, bishop Maurice de Sully ordered Notre dame to be built. Notre Dame was mostly finished almost a century later but continued to have modifications. Over the years, Notre Dame was admired greatly. But in the 1790’s the French Revolution struck out, which caused damage in many of Notre dame’s religious symbols. But Even after the revolution, it still stood proudly. Notre Dame has served not only as a religious symbol in France but also an iconic emblem for the entire world to admire.

Building the cathedral:

Notre Dame is one of the biggest cathedrals in the world. Builders had to think of very unique techniques to build it. The outside is made of stone to make sure Notre Dame is sturdy. Inside, there are chambers filled with historical artifacts. The cathedral was built with an upper spire which towered up at a height of 226 feet. The floor space ( inside area ) is built up at 52,000 square feet. It has towered for centuries as one greatest cathedrals ever created.

Emblem burning:

It fell and the crowds hushed. April 15th, 2019 was one of Notre Dames worst days. Five days after my birthday a fire broke out while it was being worked on. The upper level of Notre Dame is made of wood, not all stone. And sadly, the spire is there. You probably know what I am going to say now. As the fire grew more intense, crowds started to form on the streets. Firefighters were there, but they could not do much to fight a fire this high. But they could hope. That the spire wouldn’t fall. Then it did. Notre Dame was far from being completely destroyed, but still took a heavy amount of damage. The inside area was covered mostly from the fire. Notre Dame will be rebuilt by five years. Though a tragedy happened to it, Notre Dame is still one of my favorite land marks I’ve ever visited.
