stops
Notre-Dame has been remade by every age that loved it. Walk from the queue on the square, through the Last Judgment door and round the reopened cathedral, to the bridge behind it, and meet the people who built, wrecked, rescued and rebuilt it: a peasant's son who became bishop, a glazier who smashed the glass he described, a manager who carried the Crown of Thorns out of the fire under his arm, and two students who drew the roof by torchlight.
