In the Middle Ages, Paris gave birth to the world’s most famous stone edifice: Notre-Dame. 7 centuries have passed since its construction. Watch history come alive thanks to 3D reproduction of the monument. A dramatic tale of ambition, talent, destruction, blood and rebirth.
We tell the incredible 700 year saga of the builders and Church’s Men who invented modern day architecture in France and throughout Europe.
