I love building all the places I’ve traveled to. So this was a treat. I do which we could get both side views when places pieces around something just to make sure positions are correct. But over great fun
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're glad to hear you loved revisiting this Parisian landmark! Did you know you can find digital instructions at LEGO.build/BuilderApp-BV that let you rotate your build around? Worry about misplaced bricks no more!
This is a beautiful model of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The detailing is excellent and care is taken to make the inside beautiful as well with floors, columns, and arches. The instructions were easy to follow for the most part with a scattering on interesting historical tidbits. My set was not missing any pieces. There are some repetitive steps and a lot of connecting 1x1 plates and bricks, so you need to be careful to align them together using a hard surface. You can occasionally lose a piece inside when you are working near the top, but I found it was sturdy enough to pick up and flip upside down to get the loose piece out. The removable roof is a nice touch since you spend a lot of time on the inside. Not quite perfect since the flying buttresses don’t connect on both ends and there is some gapping at the apse/curved end, but it is still amazingly beautiful to behold. 4.9/5.0
This is one of the more impressive sets Lego has released in a while. The build experience was very enjoyable and the set serves as a beautiful display piece. Very pleased with it!
Obviously, there are no gargoyles but the detail is still amazing! It was so much fun to put together and the addition of historical information about the actual construction was really interesting. I've never seen the actual cathedral but that'll happen yet.
My only concern was with the instructions. I don't use the book but rather prefer to use the online instructions. There was one page missing from the online "book" and I was forced to turn to paper in order to complete a portion.
