On our last trip to France in April 2017, I spent the last afternoon in Paris taking photos inside the Cathedral of Notre Dame. We met our French "daughter" and her family for lunch on Sunday before our last day and walked around the Cathedral after lunch. Our French daughter was a foreign exchange student who lived with us in St. Joseph, MO during the 1989-90 school year. We have stayed in touch with her over the years, visiting her in Paris several times and once she came to visit us in Chapel Hill about 10 years ago.
I am so glad I spent that afternoon inside Notre Dame and that we had a walk around the outside as well.
