What's Notre Dame made of?


I have been working on a report on the cathedral Notre Dame in PARIS (not any other places), and I can't seem to find out what it was made of. Help me.

I have been working on a report on the cathedral Notre Dame in PARIS (not any other places), and I can't seem to find out what it was made of. Help me. If it's made of stone, then what kind, please be specific.

Stone...like almost all European churches are...the limestone that all of Paris is built of.

The stone was quarried from under the city, and now the catacombs are in the empty space under the city.

Stone primarily but wood and some iron are incorporated into the structure.

I think this will be helpful... www.oldandsold (dot) com/articles08/paris-travel-7.shtml

It isn't any more specific than locally available stone

I am pretty sure it is something called Lutetian limestone. A lot of the old city is built of this abundant resource found around the city in various modern as well as ancient quarries.
