Prayer and Meditation at Notre-Dame

Throughout the centuries, pilgrims, faithful, and visitors, both famous and anonymous, have lifted their prayers to Our Lady.

They entrust her with their lives, their hopes, their grief, their joy, or simply their daily existence. Ancient prayers and religious hymns such as the Angelus, the Ave Regina, or the Litanies of the Virgin, as well as texts written by authors like François Villon, Charles Péguy, and Rutebeuf, have often celebrated the Cathedral and Our Lady over the centuries.

We offer you the texts of these prayers and meditations, along with excerpts of hymns recorded in the choir of Notre-Dame.
