The Rooftops Of Paris, A Revealed Heritage

The rooftops of Paris have been an example of architectural revolution and advance in technology for more than a millennium: the astonishing framework of Notre-Dame, covered with 500,000 pieces of manually placed golden leaves; the refined glass rooftop of the Grand Palais, successfully built only because of the revolutionary invention of steel; Russian Orthodox Spiritual and Cultural Centre which weighs only 8 tons instead of forty-two... These are not only architectural masterpieces, but tokens of art as well, which stand together and testify to the innovative spirit of Paris itself.
