I have been to Notre Dame a few times.

I have been there with both my daughters, but not on the same trip.

I was there with my mom and Mollie, just a few years ago.

Yeah, the people of Paris love the tower. They love the art museum.

But Notre Dame is the spiritual and cultural  and historical center of the city.

It survived wars and rebellions, storms and floods.

So much history lost to what might end up being a stupid accident of some sort.
