Notre-Dame de Paris : history, art and great events, from construction to the great fire - Pop up book

Description

Located on the Ile de la Cité, Notre-Dame de Paris was built over two centuries and has stood in the French capital for over a thousand years. Throughout its history, Notre-Dame de Paris has witnessed coronations, revolutions and destruction. The cathedral has also experienced periods of neglect and recently suffered a terrible fire that threatened to destroy it completely. Now we see it growing again, in all its splendour.

This animated book provides information on the architecture, history and cultural importance of the building from its construction to the present day.

Magnificent pop-ups reproduce in 3D both the exterior and interior of the building, and a superb gargoyle, all revealing their dazzling beauty thanks to the highly elaborate creations of paper engineering specialist David Hawcock, supported by high-quality descriptive texts.
