Eric,

It /is/ tremendous to see it in person. I didn't know about it, either, until my best friend told me. I only knew about Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Paris.

It was my second day in Paris and I was still getting used to the weight of my backpack. I had my camera, lenses, tripod, guidebooks, jacket, water bottle, and a few other things all in there. I'd lined up for two hours to get into this place and my back was killing me. I felt like calling it quits and heading back to my accommodation, several times.

I waited it out and finally got in. I walked in and looked at the few archways and stained-glass windows and thought to myself, "Is this it? I lined up two hours to see this?" I mean, it was impressive, but, I didn't think it was worth the wait. I then walked upstairs, and, that, is when my jaw dropped.

It was most definitely worth it.

Thanks!

Regards,
Humayun
