I have to say I find it so funny when our brothers from the western shores (Canada and the US) make titles such as this one:

'Nôtre Dame Cathedral Paris France'

Is there another Notre Dame somewhere else that I didn't know about?

'Nôtre Dame' translation = Our Lady (of Paris)

Of course there are 23 locations within the US named 'Paris' (Americans never were very creative in the name department) but as I'm aware, none of them sport much in the way of 12th century Gothic architecture...

@acorntechnique I listed the title as such to optimize this video for the search engine, not out of ignorance.

I should also point out that many of the cities in North America that are named after European cities is not due to a lack of creativity on our part. Most of these places were named by European colonialists who wished to name a place after their hometown, and didn't care if someone else already had. For others it was a way to overcome homesickness.

@acorntechnique I am a Canadian, but I should point out that American creativity should not be marginalized. Many of the great advancements of the 20th Century took place in America....first flight....first man on the moon...development of nuclear power...invention of television...I could go on.

@acorntechnique haha actually there are many Notre Dame cathedrals in Europe, at least 4 in France alone. This particular cathedral is the Notre Dame cathedral of Paris, France. Now what was wrong with that title again?

Why have the French turned their backs on Catholicism en-masse? France should be one of the great Catholic nations - especially with a church as iconic as Notre Dame as well as France being the main contributor to the Crusader forces that fought the Muslims in the Middle Ages!

@acorntechnique Notre Dame is not as recognizable a name as London. I expect that Notre Dame the university is as well known as Notre Dame the cathedral though obviously not as great!

Poor acorn. I think that he is truly possessed by evil demons. He comments on sacred architecture yet the foulness he spews forth in personal messages...he needs a good exorcist.

I must have hit your problem right on the head no? You are indeed friendless poor soul.

acorn, may you find peace

Acorn is anal-retentive besides being an over-bloated POMPOUS ASS CANOOK who has probably never left his neighborhood....Armchair traveler.
