Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris (A.D. 1163) is considered one of the best oldest French architecture symbolism was begun by Bishop Maurice de Sully
It is one of the early Gothic buildings as Gothic divided to early, middle, and late Gothic buildings
The plan is on a bent axial line, is typical, has wide nave and double aisles, transepts of small projection practically in a line with the aisles, and a notable chevet, the earliest of its kind, with double aisles and surrounding chapels between the buttresses.
The choir, transepts, and two bays of the nave were completed in A.D. 1196, while the nave was completed in A.D. 1208 when the west facade was started.
The impressive, though sombre interior has a nave arcade with cylindrical columns and Corinthianesque capitals carrying pointed arches and shafts to support the ribs of the lofty 6-partite vaulting.

The high triforium was surmounted by an upper triforium with circular windows, which were removed in order to introduce taller clear-story windows
the circular windows next the crossing were reinstated by Viollet-le-Duc (p. 437 A).
The wide-spreading western facade is probably the finest and most characteristic in France, and served as a model for many later churches.

It is a facade of distinctly harmonious composition and peculiarly suitable to the flat island site from which it rises alone in its impressiveness, without aid from surroundings and position ; although it has lost some dignity by the removal of the flight of steps which formed a base.
The lateral facades are unimposing by reason of the chapels, wedged in between the buttresses which obscure the original design.
The east end appear with slender flying buttresses and chevet chapels backed by the western towers, form one of the most striking of cathedral groups.

Charters Cathedral
Chartres Cathedral (A.D. 1194) Public Cathedral which dominates the town, has an extensive and interesting crypt, a remnant of an earlier church, still used for pilgrimages to the shrine of the Vierge Noire.
The plan has a short nave, strongly marked aisled transepts, each crowned with two towers, which, with the two western and two contemplated eastern towers and a central tower, would have made a magnificent pile of nine important towers.
The unusual chevet is built above the crypt of the older church, while the spire of the north tower is one of the most beautiful in Europe, and forms a contrast with the earlier one on the south
The interior a fine nave arcade of circular piers with four shafts, low arcaded triforium surmounted by a clear-story of two-light pointed windows, all crowned with a quadripartite vault, 33m. High

Charters Cathedral
. The cathedral is remarkable, even in France, for the wonderful thirteenth-century stained glass of its one hundred and thirty windows, and for the fine sculptured figures in the doorways of the west front and in the triple porches of the north and south transepts.
The flying buttresses are in three arches one above another, the two lower of which are connected by radiating balusters resembling the spokes of a wheel.
