Leaning on the researches of Viollet-le-Duc, Charles Hiatt tells the history of the cathedral and the churches that stood before it, then places it in the development of French Gothic. He walks the reader around the west front and the exterior, through the irregular arches of the nave, the transepts, the choir and the sacristy, and closes with a list of the bishops and archbishops of Paris.
