- Following the tragic fire at Notre Dame, 15th April, we thought we'd share this documentary of the cathedral in its prime.
Reaching to the heavens, Notre-Dame has stood as a beacon in the heart of Paris since its construction in 1163.

I enjoyed the fact that Notre Dame changed and evolved over the years, with various alterations being made by different generations; she is not stagnant, but alive. Even now, she is not dead, but is simply just about to move on to her next form.
Well put. ⛪️
This breaks my heart, so glad the French government has ordered a complete and total restoration to what it was pre fire. So she again will be one the most beautiful buildings in the world. Absolutely beautiful. Even burned she is beautiful.
Not merely a musée but a true Église.
Seeing those massive wood beams its easy to see why the fire burned so intensely. Hearing her mention the luck of not having a major fire at 41:28 sent chills down my spine :(

It's just the opposite. Those massive wooden beams take longer to catch fire than those construction techniques used in more modern buildings.
Especially if the edges are chamfered, as modern building codes require when using large timbers like that.
I had the same ironic feeling...
@lilchopcone666 It's not exclusive ffs. There is much more money in the world than which is just needed for the care of the continuity of human culture and knowledge. But hey let's make it all whataboutery - * insert favourite agenda * here 🙄 There's nothing stopping you selling up and donating to your favourite cause. Get a grip ffs.
@lilchopcone666 Notre Dame is essentially at the heart of France. At just short of 1000 years - it represents the beginnings of European civilisation and the re-emergence of knowledge over ignorance. On the site there existed a Roman temple, an early church and finally a cathedral which broke the bounds of knowledge in engineering and architecture at that time , followed by a secular temple of reason and a navel for the rebirth of a nation following nearly a century of conflict. It's not really surprising that it's held close by those who know their history. Without knowledge of our history we are doomed to repeat our past. We can throw money at many things - only a few withstand as part of our human legacy. Yet we still have the resources and wealth to spend on the ocean and environment. It remains neither are exclusive of each other.
My heart sank a bit when I heard her sah that. It escaped what 9 centuries without a major fire until now?
Notre Dame is by far the most beautiful church I have ever been to in my life. Although I am beyond blessed to live just 2 minutes around the block from the famous Christ Cathedral, there is something special to be said about Notre Dame. A beautiful masterpiece, and wonderful house of God who will one day rise from a beautiful restoration, and open her doors to welcome those inside of her once again.
I can't wait for the day she's restored to her former glory, and am excited to see her first mass after restoration is complete.
My God bless her, and continue to keep her as a beautiful part of our history. :)
God bless the French for battling so much in the last 104 years with such grace. Sending love and prayer from my family to all of yours.
It's amazing what people can create when we work together! What a very beautiful place, one day I hope to visit!
Work together, yes. But more important, when nobody cares who gets the credit. Save for only God.
I honestly can't understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. It's so well made. Almost as if I was there in person.
Probs because they see this church/building/religion is nothing but a scam.
@Saint Scanderbeg yes its also a scam, like...religion as a whole.
Right👍
The building was beautiful.
The nonsensical religious narration was not.
@@elzach0sad to hear you feel like that.
one cannot understand the majesticness of notre dame unless one sees it.
Visited Notre Dame several years ago. Magnificent cathedral and beautiful.
God bless you France. We know your beautiful cathedral will stand in all its glory soon. Love from America
Here, Here...
Delta Fox I heard they voted to keep it the way it was.
france is better than the rest of the world dont @ me
The cathedral fits in with those row houses so well. This shows the beauty of Europe.
This is the "Cathedral" i know when i had done the 3rd term of my apprenticeship as a "Watchmaking" and on every Sunday of my 3 month stay in Paris. This is not an accident it was bunt down, and my heart weeps for the "Church" which i love........
@David Henderson Where's your proof?
@@britainluver431 for me, it's my gut!!!
beautiful Cathedral, and superb documentary of. Notre Dame and she shall rise from the ashes like a Phoenix in all her splendor.
this made me cry.... I’m a prayer for this beauty
The narrator's voice is wonderful! Thanks for uploading it!
I am an American very proud of my French heritage and love the people of France and Notre Dame.
I think the most impressive of Gothic cathedrals is the one in Cologne,Germany but to see Notre dame in Paris burning was very sad indeed.The one at Chartres is also very beautiful.
Lincoln cathedral is also a masterpiece
Sometimes you don't know what you got, until its gone...
my dad is in the hopsital. thanks LSD123 :)
Excellent documentary of Notre Dame Cathedral. Prayers of thanks to all artists, architects, builders and all the faithful of Christ Jesus who have brought the Scriptures and the lives of Mary and her son our Lord to life. 💞🙏🙌✝️🙌🙏💞
41:25 - "This wooden framework dates from the 13th century, and is one of the oldest examples of wood-beam frames in existence, particularly since Notre Dame has had the good fortune not to experience a major fire." Until 4/25/19... So sad. I was surprised to learn that most of the stained glass was already a re-fabrication following destruction during the Revolution. I do hope that the cathederal, which appeared to be mainly intact despite the ravages of the fire, will come back better than ever.

Actually, a lot of the wood in the roof is only century old, because, during World War I, artillery shells hit the roof, and caused a huge fire(!), necessitating new wood. Of course, having been there for a century, it naturally became as fire prone as any wood that's older.
Dear Lord, please don’t let a bunch of vain and foolish politicians ruin her.
More likely a poor, and underpaid worker!
I pray the same words🙏
sike gods fake
To think that this remarkable cathedral of Notre Dame was built nearly 1000 years ago,
"Notre Dame has had the good fortune not to experience a major fire"
Until April of 2019 that destroyed a large part of the cathedral. Almost all of the framework being lost, and even after the restoration is complete in 2024-2025, will never be the same. For those who have never been there, including myself, will never see the cathedral as it was.
I’m really sad that I did not see that cathedral before it got into fire. 😢
I just wished I traveled as a kid and as a teenager.
A profoundly sad the great Cathedral partially gutted by the Fire on 15th April '19, a very French Icon with great History of the French nation and Europe covered in his vail.
It happened on the 15th of April,not the 17th.

Notre Dame Cathedral is where my favourite Royal Couple got married, Mary Queen Of Scots and King Francis II.

Notre Dame Cathedral: I’m so beautiful, millions see me everyday
Random outta the blue Fire: I’m bout to end this mans whole career.
if this isnt facts i dont know what is my good friend!
the choir was sublime, it choked me and i'm an atheist!
My heart is forever touched, and there are miracles when I believe.
thank God for that
No 1 on the bucket list is to hear a choir and organ with the acoustics in Notre Dame
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video 😊
Thank you . Such beauty had to be done with love. How they managed to do those wonderful windows, well every part. God Bless you.
Loved it! How beautiful and moving it all is! God bless France and may the true Catholic Faith long live triumphantly there! Lord Jesus grant this. Blessed Mother pray for us, especially France.
That’s beautiful.
I still remember the first time I saw and heard something about this cathedral. This occurred when I first saw the film The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) on TV around 1970. A few decades later I learned that the film was not filmed in Paris. But anyway, the cathedral didn't come into my life as a religious monument, but as a character in the film based on the character in Victor Hugo's book. I don't know if I would like to see Notre Dame in person. Some things have more beauty, meaning and importance when we don't get close to them.
my heart was touched
mine was taken, in a transplant
Terrible too see it burning couldn't watch the TV.
The fire was tragic indeed, and now much of the world is shut down with COVID 19 and its variations. One suggestion, if ever we can safely travel again, is a visit to Montreal and the other Notre Dame, the Basilica. It is truly stunning and is so often unexpected. Yes the world has another remarkable Notre Dame, one that is a spectacular celebration of colour. The most beautiful city in North America has much to offer the traveler.
Thank You. Dianne.
you're welcome. Rick
I hope to go there one day.
Seeing how much this has been destroyed and rebuild its great to know that it wil surly once again be rebuilt.
One eye witness says he's not sure who started the fire...... but he has a hunch. 😀
History beautiful.
Our lady of Paris=Notre Dame de Paris
Bellísima gracias 😊
Could you give me an information about the music at 4.50? It sounds amazing.
Hope they get on with rebuilding this soon!
i got my boys coming in to build that thing super fast! no need to worry dantefive of deadmj!
we were blessed with 4 children. She is blessed with 2. I love my grandma tho.
So glad that that modernistic monstrosity of an altar was destroyed in the fire. But the true High altar was saved.
Very recommendable
41:31*partically since Notre dame had the good fortune not to experience any major fire* me : ha ha ha :""
Wonderful story and documentary. The one thing I find curious is that not once do they mention that it's a Catholic Cathedral. Anyways, I hope it is lovingly restored to all it's grandeur. Do it justice please!
thank you for your support! I am a social worker that takes in kids who were traumatized by abusive parents! fun stuff!
can anyone let me know what that piece played on the organ briefly before she speaks on the instrument is called?
❤❤❤❤❤
I always wanted to go to France. I think my classmates at frost went to France. Exchange student program.
LONG LIVE THE NOTRE DAME OF PARIS!

I think there was something about a church in this video, but I couldn't tell for sure from all the ads.

going there myself around may, then onwards to lourdes
what a loss.
To beginning from the Video, what is this Song?
someone who knows the gregorian chant in the very beginning of the documentary? God bless you
And life goes on.
So heartbreaking to see such desecration of the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ's body, blood, soul and divinity in the Holy Eucharist being handed out in dirty hands standing up as if it were potato chips or just plain bread...such mockery!!! God have mercy on all those Bishops who insist on this unholy desecration!
41:28 ! Ya had to go and say it!
Notre-Dame Cathedral has a fascinating history. Checkout "Goths, Barbarians, and the Notre-Dame Cathedral"
you look like my teacher who was charged with sexual assault! now thats cool!
La connaissance, l'amour et la passion est ce dont elle ce besoin. Dieu, aide-moi s'il Vous plaît et laisse-moi de lui donner lui rendre son honneur avec tous les muscle, la connaissance et l'experience de travail que j'ai. Un hommage á Toi, Maria, la Mère de ton unique enfant Jesus-Christ, Notre Dame, le brave Français et a Ton Miracle qui je sois encore en vie. Amen 💛
Watching in 2021 at the mention of the oldest framing wood not yet destroyed by fire.
The Great Organ survived and will be removed, repaired, and kept in storage until it can be reinstalled once the Cathedral is repaired. The Choir Organ, alas, was destroyed.
Are there photos of the damage done to the choir organ?
@@emcc8598 None that I've seen. Apparently the fire didn't touch the choir organ but it got inundated with all the water that was pumped into the building. Supposedly it's unsalvageable, but we can always hope.
Amen +
That modern art gold altar is a travesty in this cathedral.
Agreed.
I thought it was quite ugly myself. I afraid this type of art will be taken over during the renovation...
@@1533ramsay I'm afraid so. It's sooo much cheaper!
Correction, was-- I'm pretty sure they said it was destroyed when part of the ceiling collapsed.
Those demon like figures are more than just decorative ,big time !
What year was this doc made?

I think Timeline has some of the best documentaries here. But I am surprised at the way they have agreed to a Catholic polemic, or so it seems to me. The documentary contains less history than it does religious rants. It's OK, I can put up with it in order to glean facts about construction history, but this documentary still aggravates more than a bit.
Just realised those statues of the apostles have gone - they went up when the spire went up in flames
Steven Cassidy It was reported they had been previously removed due to the restoration work.
What music is used in this film??
my music
@@joeykindagay3721 nice music.
Love it
Not anymore....
Tried every way I could think of to ID the choral music at the intro….no such
luck!!! Anybody?
Let us not forget, this is not a merely a gathering place, a tourist location, or a Christian prayer space, it is a Catholic Church. While she has opened her doors to all people, Notre Dame is a Catholic cathedral, and a holy and religious place.
Amen🙏
The Catholics use it, it belongs to France. And I do not see the Catholic Church jumping in with both feet to restore it. It is anything but their church.

Did ANYthing good come of the French Revolution - I continuously hear of more and more sickening things.
You just NOW are learning about the French Revolution??? 😱 Didn't you learn in school? Or were you absent during that unit? (or perhaps homeschooled.)
@@markmh835 Excuse me, I was "Homeschooled" and my mother devoted over two weeks to the history of the French Revolution, because it was deeply intertwined with our American War for Independence. I gobbled it up. I continued to study French history on my own for many years. It was that very homeschooling you mock that sparked a lifelong love of world history. Do not put down what you do not understand.
@@SocialBurrito3 -- Having worked for a school system for over 16 years, I can truly say that I do understand homeschooling -- and the motivations behind most parents who homeschool. Your apparent deep and rich education from home is definitely not the norm. The vast, vast percentage/majority of homeschooled students who then attempt to enter a school setting (public or private) are not adequately prepared for their grade level (not to mention the lack of social skills on the part of a majority of them.) This, of course, does not apply to you and many others who are homeschooled, merely to the vast majority of them. The made-for-TV stories of "Homeschooled to Harvard" are an extremely tiny number of such students. The reality (borne out by data) is remedial classes for the majority of these students if/when they attempt to enter a school setting with their peers.
And, btw, the French Revolution was not "deeply intertwined" with the American War for Independence. The American Revolution was over a full 6 years before the French Revolution. While the American War for Independence might have inspired some of the French revolutionaries, there really was NO OTHER connection than that. Just inspiration. President George Washington and the other Founding Fathers (except Jefferson) were horrified by the French revolutionaries. The Americans fought for their independence; the French fought to overthrow their monarchy and aristocracy and established Catholic Church. And they most certainly did not establish an American-style democratic government in the aftermath: just tyranny and chaos until the rise of Napolean.
So, as you see, there really isn't any connection between the American War for Independence and the French Revolution, other than "inspiration." Your mom should have taught you that.
@@markmh835 HA! You haven't been to school in a LONG time, have you? You have NO IDEA what really goes on there.
markmh835 some countries have a more intern history class unit, in my country at the time of schooling didn’t got really deep into European history besides Roman
What are Quasimoto's friend's names again? I don't think they are Gargoyles. I think they are Chimeras. But, what are their names? I forgot.
Gargoyles and chimera are representations of monsters from
Quasimoto's psyche.
I wonder why it has been uploaded now...😜
Wonderful documentary, I always loved this cathedral. I couldn't believe it when I saw it burning live on TV. 😢
SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI...
Maria López yes but in this case if it is true they were SMOKING in the “firest” I wish they would be flung from the bell tower...
@@fivizzano -- Oh wow, I had not heard of that possible explanation. The French smoke EVERYWHERE. If workmen were smoking among the rafters ("the forest"), that could explain a lot.

Interesting how they always say Christian instead of specifying Catholicism.
Did the rooster atop the spire survive or did the recent fire engulf it?
Yes it did
How did it survive the fire and fall?
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa it survived.. before the fire the spire is under restoration and all apostles around it including the rooster are all removed.
Africa? Significant!
Someone please explain the significance of the rooster atop the spire of "Our Lady
thats were napoleon coronated emperor
Really good video. A lot of history in that cathedral. I really don’t think the fire was accidental
Maybe "god" did it? But then again i dont think fictitious characters can actually do anything
I really think your right...
@@elzach0 Well you got one thing right. Your god is not capitalized...
There is not a bit of evidence it was deliberate. All early indications were that it was an accidental electrical fire related to renovation work. Please do not repeat false rumors.
