No other place represents France quite like Notre Dame．
Its main rival （對(duì)手） as a national symbol，the Eiffel Tower，is a little more than a century old．Notre Dame has stood tall above Paris since the 1200s．
It has given its dame to one of the country's greatest works of literature．Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame is known to the French simply as Notre Dame de Paris．
It is impossible to describe how shocking （令人震驚的） it is to watch such a symbol of a country burn．
Local people are not famous for their sunny disposition （性情），but few can take a walk by the River Seine in the central part of the capital without feeling their spirits rise when seeing Notre Dame．
It is one of the few sights sure to make a Parisian feel good about living there．
Like all popular places everywhere，it is not one that local people visit very often．In the thirty years I spent in this city，I haven't been inside Notre Dame more than three or four times --- and then only with foreign visitors．
There are many of those．But Notre Dame is much more than a popular tourist attraction in Western Europe．President Emmanuel Macron has expressed the shock of a "whole nation" at the fire．As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said，Notre Dame is "part of our common heritage （遺產(chǎn)）"．
