巴黎圣母院大教堂是一座位于塞納河畔、法國巴黎市中心的哥特式基督教教堂建筑。它的地位、歷史價值無與倫比，是歷史上最為輝煌的建筑之一。沒有景點能像巴黎圣母院一樣代表法國。其主要競爭對手是埃菲爾鐵塔，也是法國的標志性建筑。不過，雖然埃菲爾鐵塔有差不多一個世紀的歷史，但巴黎圣母院從13世紀開始就已昂首矗立至今。
Many churches, cathedrals and abbeys in Europe are in the gothic style. The flying buttress，one distinctive characteristic of the gothic architecture, is an effective combination of utility with ornament.?The Notre Dame was not originally designed with the flying buttress. When the wall was built higher and higher, it could not carry the weight. So the architects added the flying buttress to support it in the form of the beautiful arch.
歐洲的許多大小教堂和修道院都是哥特風格的。哥特式建筑的特征之一是飛拱，它是實用和裝飾的有效結(jié)合。最初設(shè)計巴黎圣母院時并沒有飛拱，當墻越蓋越高，卻開始支撐不了其重量，于是建筑師們才加入了這些形狀漂亮的飛拱來加以支撐。
