The Notre-Dame Cathedral Companion

Notre-Dame de Paris has needed rescuing more than once: first by a 19th-century novel that revived public devotion to a building the city had begun to abandon, and far more recently by an extraordinary five-year rebuilding effort following the 2019 fire. This Companion reads both the medieval structure and its newest restoration side by side, including the remarkable parallel story of the Grand Organ's own survival and return.
