Notre Dame in the 19th Century
Saturday, 27 September, 2025
#16. What was Notre Dame like before Viollet-le-Duc’s 19th Century restoration? Was it worth visiting or just a crumbling ruin to be ignored? And were the guidebooks of the day accurate or even more creative than today’s social media “guides”? Join us as we rejoin David W. Bartlett’s travel adventures in mid-19th Century Paris (and correct some of his “history” along the way)!Speaking of corrections, yes, I did indeed misspeak the name of Bartlett’s book. It is Paris with Pen & Pencil, not pen and paper. PGB: Made by Humans.Want to know more?
