Beautiful medieval Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was devastating fire yesterday during the repair. The spire and much of the roof was unfortunately lost, but fortunately, the rest of the building remained intact.
President macron has promised to rebuild and restore the favorite Cathedral. But while that happens, it is likely to be partially or completely unavailable.
Fortunately, you can use the power of virtual reality to visit Notre Dame, not even leaving the room.

Eagle Flight
Less obvious way to see the Cathedral — in the title of 2016 Ubisoft’s Eagle Flight. You fly like an eagle in the first person with a simple goal to build its nest at the highest point, which you can find among the overgrown ruins of Paris in the distant future. The first socket is located at the Notre Dame Cathedral.
