Notre-Dame de Paris, French for "Our Lady of Paris", also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral or simply Notre-Dame, is a historic Roman Rite Catholic Marian cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France.

The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass are in contrast with earlier Romanesque architecture.

Paris boasts over 200 independent outdoor booksellers, offering some 300,000 collectable, new and used books and magazines under open skies. Their iconic green metal "boxes" have been depicted in famous landscapes of Paris, notably from the Impressionist period.
