Notre Dame in the 19th Century
samedi 27 septembre 2025 • Durée 21:12
#16. What was Notre Dame like before Viollet-le-Duc’s 19th Century restoration? Was it worth visiting or just a crumbling ruin to be ignored? And were the guidebooks of the day accurate or even more creative than today’s social media “guides”? Join us as we rejoin David W. Bartlett’s travel adventures in mid-19th Century Paris (and correct some of his “history” along the way)!
Speaking of corrections, yes, I did indeed misspeak the name of Bartlett’s book. It is Paris with Pen & Pencil, not pen and paper. PGB: Made by Humans.

Sarcophagus Found at Notre Dame!
dimanche 10 avril 2022 • Durée 13:48
#2. A 14th Century Sarcophagus was found at Notre Dame! Who is inside? Who found it? What comes next? Is it a mummy?! [SPOILER: Not a mummy] Find out more in this episode of Paris Gone By!
Discover what we know so far, more about the group who did the archeological dig, and a bit about what comes next as they begin restoring the interior of the church.
Quick Show Notes:
First and foremost, the theory of how the sarcophagus ended up where it did in the layers of history under the floor is my own (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) speculation. Please do not consider it archeological fact.
