Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

18 de dezembro de 2014

Notre-Dame de Paris, “Our Lady of Paris” from French, is a historic Catholic cathedral, widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture & among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world.

When the château was built, Versailles was a country village. Versailles is a dream. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to & I highly doubt there will be a place I love more, no matter how much I try. The Château & the gardens are the exact representation of Heaven, ...
