Finished in 1914, this church is built of travertine which keeps it pristine and white through weathering. Seven architects were needed in order to complete the building.
Notre Dame

Lac Daumesnil
For a tranquil, almost pastoral, refuge from the hustle and bustle of exploring the City of Lights, try Lac Daumesnil. This is just the place for a romantic stroll along a lakeside promenade, surrounded by graceful older trees and foliage. Take a row boat out onto the water to commune with the swans and ducks.
