From Near Destruction to Timeless Significance
In December 2024, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris reopened after a devastating fire had threatened to destroy it 5 year earlier. There had never been any doubt as to whether to restore or not; such is the power of this building in the psyche of the French people. In this lecture Carole explores the cultural significance of Notre Dame through the ages and what makes it so special.
