April in Paris

Notre-Dame is home to some of the most celebrated stained glass windows ever made. One of its famous rose windows featured in one of the final images of the Cathedral before the fire, taken just hours before the flames took hold.

The north rose window, completed in 1250, contained more original glass than any of the others in the church. The south window, given to Notre-Dame by King Louis IX of France who was later canonised, had been largely restored over the preceding centuries after the original was damaged several times.
