Audio tour · Cathedral of Notre Dame

You're standing at Notre-Dame de Paris, the famous cathedral on the Île de la Cité, an island in the middle of the Seine. Start with the west front and its two square towers. They're sixty-nine metres tall and were the last major part to be finished. The great bells hang inside them, and the two largest, Emmanuel and Marie, are in the south tower.
