• What makes the Notre-Dame Parchment Notebook special?

This notebook is made from parchment-style paper crafted using traditional techniques. The flexible cover and inner pages are vat-made from recycled cotton offcuts, creating a high-quality paper with a unique texture and feel. Each sheet displays subtle variations reminiscent of ancient manuscripts and historical books.

The paper is specially prepared to accommodate a variety of writing instruments, including fountain pens, felt-tip pens, ballpoint pens, and India ink.

Its pleasant texture makes writing particularly comfortable and enhances every word placed on the page.

• Where Is the Virgin and Child Oculus Located in Notre-Dame de Paris?

The oculus is situated at the center of a vault, at the crossing of the transept within Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. It can be seen high above, where the light is strongest, inviting visitors to look upward and contemplate its beauty.

It forms part of the harmonious ensemble of Notre-Dame's celebrated stained-glass windows and rose windows.

As sunlight passes through, the medallion comes alive, its golden outline illuminated by the changing light.

At Notre-Dame de Paris, this oculus is much more than a decorative feature. It conveys a profound spiritual message and contributes to the extraordinary richness of the cathedral.
