MOOC. Notre-Dame de Paris.

Built from 1163 and completed in 1330, Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral is located in the historic heart of Paris, on the Île de la Cité. In the 19th century, the general restoration of the cathedral was undertaken under the direction of the architects Jean-Baptiste Lassus and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. The work lasted 20 years.
