La Invalides - Paris

We passed by Notre-Dame Cathedral or simply Notre-Dame on the coach. When I visited Europe after university, this Cathedral stood clear in my memories. Would have loved to step down the coach to visit this Cathedral again. It is a historic Roman Rite Catholic Marian cathedral. The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass are in contrast with earlier Romanesque architecture.

Les Invalides, officially known as L'Hôtel national des Invalides (The National Residence of the Invalids), is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose.
