Beautiful but unfinished, this Cathedral is an enigma. Go for the architecture and the two clocks, the oldest chiming clock in the world and a solar clock. They put on a sound and light show a few times a day too so try and see it, it's especially great for the kids.

I loved the unexpectedness of a huge onion-domed russian cathedral in Paris! Not quite as colourful as St Basil's but very impressive nonetheless!

My first impression of this was 'oh dear they've taken the pantheon from rome and the dome from st. paul's cathedral in london and stuck them together!', which is essentially what they did, but the inside is really spectacular, sort-of cathedral like, i could have stayed there for hours just enjoying it. A bit out of the way unless you're going to jardin de luxembourg.

I was astonished to find this spectacular cathedral was free, since the last time I wnet into St. Paul's I was outraged at the cost there. Fabulous place, the details are amazing, although I didn get to go up the tower like quasimodo as i'd totally run out of euros.

ile de la cite, you can't really miss it but it's best to approach it from the south side to get some great views across the river

This is an old cathedral that is full of history and art. It is an amazing work of architecture and you could spend days here. Take a tour or get a guide book or you will really be missing out.
