Perhaps the most famed architecture in present-day France, the 12th-century gothic cathedrals attract millions of tourists each year. With intricately stained glass, ornately crafted spires and daunting Gargoyles, it’s no wonder that these grand cathedrals inspired novelist Victor Hugo to write The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Enjoy the history and romance of France as you explore the grandiose home of Quasimodo and several other French churches. Dr. Lindley Vann, University of Maryland professor of Architecture and Cathedral expert, will serve as your guide. [more]
