Excerpt from La Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris: Notice Historique Et Archéologique
On reproche parfois a ses auteurs cette restauration intensive. Il n'est plus temps de discuter son oppor tunité: constatons seulement qu'elle a été conduite avec une science et une conscience parfaites par des hommes qui avaient d'abord restitué en eux-mêmes la science et le sentiment artistique de nos grands architectes du moyen âge reconnaissons aussi qu'elle nous permet de retrouver devant Notre - Dame l'im pression d'unité et de perfection que nos pères durent y ressentir jadis. Grâce à elle, dans la position unique que l'on sait, àla pointe de cette île qui fut le berceau de Lutèce, au centre du Paris moderne grouillant et multiple en ses aspects, mais non pas oublieux de ses traditions, la cathédrale, qui fut pour ainsi dire le coeur et le cerveau de la ville du moyen âge. Se dresse comme un ensemble typique et complet.
