Notre Dame de Paris is a must for tourists to visit Paris. When I read the biography of Napoleon as a child, I learned that Napoleon's crowning ceremony was held in Notre Dame in Paris. He was shocked that Napoleon had snatched the crown from the Pope and put it on himself. He was not impressed by Notre Dame in Paris. After watching the film Notre Dame de Paris and reading Hugo's novel of the same name, I had the idea that I must see Notre Dame de Paris when I visited Paris.
