- Luc, which Parisian monument have you already visited? - I've visited the Eiffel Tower on the Champ de Mars several times. I love going there at night when all its lights are on. What about you, Chantal? - I'm a big fan of the Notre-Dame cathedral which is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. I went to see this incredible monument in 2018. Unfortunately, there was a terrible fire a year later and the cathedral is still under renovation. - Would you like to visit the cathedral with me when it reopens to the public? - Of course! It would be wonderful to go there together!
